Hopefully the groups will be drawn based on seedings and not fixed using serpentine as this mean that the teams who didn’t manage to qualify are getting free pass to OG quarterfinals.
By the way, why did they change the old system? It was much better and much more fair. Right now in 80% the groups roster will determine the outcome.
Stats are just stats, when it all came down to deciding moments (after 20-20) today Antropova couldn't score and Stysiak was 100%...
Bjelica probably starts training for the VNL 2024 now 
Group A: Host 5 6 11
Group B: 1 4 7 10
Group C: 2 3 8 9
As you can see, it is beneficial to be in rank 5-6 because you get france and the african team.
For the qualifications FIVB didn't use serpentine system, so maybe they will do it similar way.
russia has no chance to compete?
Russia is not in the rankings.
TBH Italy will go to OG as well anyways. In case of Poland, they would need to still do well in VNL to succeed and you never know, injuries, some random things may happen and who knows. But maybe it will help to bring back Egonu to NT so it will have a good thing for Italy too.
Oh my, that ball is out but the hawkeye visual totally showed it in
it showed another ball
What a terrible mistake from refree…
So Serbia and DR are guaranteed top 2 after this, we got our tickets, congratulations
No, Dominicana needs 2 sets to advance.
Yesterday it was mentioned how Karakurt is contibuting
Well only Vargas scores today, tough to argue with that.
No idea if it's an unpopular opinion, but I think Karakurt is playing better as OH than OPP. I don't know if it's because she has "less pressure" as OH to be carrying the team, or if it's some Santarelli magic that made her improve from Novara times, but I am still amazed how comfortable she looks out on position 4 in such a short time
Well, when she was playing OPP in NT, she had two medicore OHs next to her so all pressure was on her. Now that 50% of balls go to Vargas and also each opponent is mainly focusing on blocking Vargas then it is much easier to perform better. Also she is covered in reception quite well.
In order to judge this we would need to see club performance as OH otherwise….
I genuinely believe that this VNL was just a fluke for Poland our level after that just got back to where it was.
Poland had to peak in VNL due to their poor ranking. They had to rebuild it to have a shot at OG considering we have USA and Italy in the pool. So it was rational thing to do and now they are tired as they play almost every match with the same team.
It is similar to what happened in Poland. When mens team was average, everyone was caring about womens team. But when men became top team, the federation didn’t care about women anymore. It looks very similar in Itsly right now.
As I mentioned 2 days ago - when Vargas can’t score it’s a done deal for Turkey. Karakurt or Hande or even middles don’t have as much contribution to make a difference.
And with a team like Italy or Serbia it means only Vargas can pull it off with sth like 30 points on 60% for Turkey.
Ebrar had 14 points 48% and butthurt people are acting like only Vargas played good.
how many of Ebrar points were during second part of sets? She can score when its 10-10 but after 20 point everything goes to Vargas.
The thing where Ebrar helped was a service run in the second set but during this run all 7 balls went to Vargas as well.
Well you know of course other players must score as well but similarly to Serbia when it all matters it comes down to how many balls Boskovic or Vargas will score.
Jules I can send you paper towels if you want...
You guys are attacking Serbia because they only use Boskovic yet you are happy you do the same now
With this game Turkey can win the whole tournament
Sure, just only when they set 75% balls to Vargas and she scores 70% of them.
Both Lukasik and Rozanski approached to fast wtf are you talking about ?!
WOlosz didn't play with them all season. She is setting way behind them.
Wołosz sets to 4...... no comment
Vargas is smashing so many OOS balls. Dang!
She literally finished last 5 points. But of course it’s not her, Poland wasn’t up 21-18 at all.
Edit: last seven points and 7 balls to Vargas
