from 3-12
now 18-20
go Russia ...one step at a time
Display Moreoh my! i confused the hour of the match....any link to re watch the usa--rus match ?
congrats to russia..good job..i didnt expect a 3-0 win
now hope they wont lose to china
it will be unbelivable if two european teams qualify from here
so the winner of russia-china match is going to win the tournament,right?
Yep
A massive victory for the Russian team today. A cleansweep, what a great performance! Congratz Russia
For sure nobody saw such an outcome!!
In some crucial matches before........
Sometimes when this forum predicts FOR Russia they lose (eg.Rus-Bra OG 2012)
but when we predict against Russia they win hahaha
Russia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...Fetisova ...i'm so grateful Marichev finally uses Fetisova...
i hope he will not still insist on using Orlova against China ....
Russia if they want to win they can
I know and i hope Russia will beat both usa and china so together with serbia they will qualify
terzic already loves RUssian volleyball as he expressed that he wants to return in Russia
and he will love it more if they will qualify at the olympics together hahahha
Display MoreMaximum possible points for non big 5 matches remaining and maximum big five points remaining
USA 25 + 6
Serbia 25 + 3
Russia 24 + 6
China 24 + 6
Japan 21 + 9
I know that FIVB first tie breaker is wins. But let's breakdown points possibilities
If Serbia loses tomorrow, they will get to 9-2 but only 25 or 26 points if winning remaining matches
USA gets to 22 with 3 matches to play with win tomorrow and Dominican Republic as final game. So 25 for US looks like guaranteed.
Russia and China in same boat as USA (other than last match is Japan for China)
Japan win over Serbia means 23 or 24 points with 3 to play, then Algeria (win guaranteed), Japan gets one additional win and they are over Serbia.
another scenario IF Russia would BEAT Usa and China. Russia would have 10-1 record with 28 or even 30 points... China and Usa would end up with 9-2 record
while Serbia would have 10-1 record assuming they would beat Japan ..they will ending up with 28 or 27 points ...
and i think for me that would be the best case for European teams....
Match could have gone either way. Russian errors in 5th set cost them the match. Regarding Kosheleva, I don't think she performed below her standards. Serbian block and defence was just ready for her. Goncharova had a good game as usual but she can't win games all by herself. Still good game by Russia except the 3rd set. I don't think we can dismiss Russia yet. Game changer would be the match against USA, and with their backs against the wall, I hope Kosheleva and company will show their best performance.

and also against China... RUssia have two crucial very crucial matches.....
I hope Japan will screw up the tournament.hahaha
