yes he has a chance, but it is up to the new coach.

Sawada plays D like a libero
Manami Kojima has been the libero for a couple years. She had to wait for Iwasaki to retire
guess who lost their job to Kotoe then……

Actually got married, these kind of announcements mean that it is done.

It's weird that Okayama has the closest relationship to Thailand organisations but they won't get any Thai players. It's also weird that Turkish Airlines is one of their sponsors did anyone catch that? Galatasaray could never
because they have their own team…..Turkish is not flying direct to Okayama.

Did she play well with pfu? I mean some teams are just too late to get a foreign players and they will just have a limited option.
she played with PFU, but man they waited and got slim pickings.

She asked to be let go from her team and the team previously in Sendai went out of business. She is known due to her time with the national team and for her she is trying to kept professional volleyball alive in Sendai with this team. The baseball team, Rakuten is known and because she is also from Sendai, she is supporting the teams, but with the name recognition of looking for potential sponsors, she needs to be out there.
She is trying to build a base and Sendai when Japan would host FIVB was often a destination in the rotation of cities. Plus try in some Haikyu also based in Miyagi prefecture (when Sendai is) and it may be a better chance for her to succeed. Plus Japan is not known for taking chances, but she wanted to. -
Did Sakoda and Ebata ever start in a game together during the Hybrid 6 era?
No, Ebata got injured prior to World Championships. Plus they played the same position as opposite.

there are decimal points that are not shown, and hence if tied on points the team that is listed higher would have a better decimal point value. Poland vs Iran in Round one, they can’t seem to keep away from each other.
Yes, the set up would be correct and then the final two pots would be divided into groups of 6, based on the ranking, 13-18, 19-24. -
I don't see it in any page but it would be stupid italy as champion not going at best european
-
2nd best team in europe
And italy
no, Serbia already qualified as the World Champions. They qualified before the Continental Championships started.
So, if Serbia won the European tournament, then 2nd and 3rd place would be the two slots for Europe.
With Serbia making in the final, the winner of the 3rd place match would get the 2nd spot from Europe, and with Turkey winning, they get in automatically. Italy got their spot by winning the semifinal. -
With that said, if JT and Denso get rid of their mascots, I would be upset, because they are different looking, which is good.

As for the NEC branding, I will go in the opposite direction. Many Japanese teams in the past had logos that were very cartoon like, meaning children’s cartoons and not very modern. The Red Rockets (and the rugby team Green Rockets, plus the old Blue Rockets too) had that type of look. As sports have become more “professional” in how they are run and also how they look, having a cartoon look for the mascot is fine, but not as the logo or brand design.
NEC is retiring the mascots and going with a new look as well and gave both mascots a going away video.

Not feeling NEC's rebranding, they feel like an appliance store now. JT and Toray are awfully quiet
I loved their goofy contentWhy is there a number 35 in PFU wtf who goes beyond 20
in Japan, usually higher numbers imply that they are new to the team. Veteran players take the lower numbers. As veterans retire or leave, the lower numbers become available. Some players may just take a high number and live with it Karakurt….

Display Moreso the final 24 teams are now can be confirmed, if there is no deny from the national associations in the future.
1. Auto qualified (3 teams):
(1) Organisors: Netherlands（WR10）；Poland（WR12）
(2) Defending Champion: Serbia（WR5）
2. qualified as Continental Champion or Vice Champion (9 teams):
(1) AVC: China （WR3）; Japan（WR9）
(2) NORCECA: Dominican Republic (WR7）; Puerto Rico（WR17）
(3) CEV: Italy （WR6)
(4) CAVB: Cameroon （WR20）；Kenya（WR28）
(5) CSV：Brazil （WR2)； Colombia（WR16）
3. qualified by WR points updated on September 20, 2021 (12 teams)：
USA（WR1）；Turkey（WR4）；Russia（WR8）；Germany（WR11）；Belgium（WR13）；Korea（WR14）；Bulgaria（WR15）；Canada（WR18）；Thailand（WR19）；Argentina（WR21）；Czech Republic（WR22）；Kazakhstan（WR23）
Turkey should be in group two, because they were the best finishing team in Europe after Serbia, who had already qualified as World Champions. Serbia of course being second in Europe to Italy.

rankings do matter, it helps determine if you get seeded and where for international tournaments.
-
Part of it was that they were eliminated with two losses as the winner of Morocco-Nigeria was supposed to advance to semifinals. However with the delay in play for two days, the federation may have made the call to get out of the country Sooner than later, in case things got worse.
As for Egypt and Tunisia, it may have been just cost savings sadly. -
Blain could takeover, but at 62, it is his call. Maybe Tillie? Seeing as how he is in Japan now.
-
not surprised with the change, I think he took them far, but he’s probably going to be running a team in Japan shortly. probably back to Sakai, maybe FC Tokyo?

Updated from 09-19 14:25 UTC
With the results Kenya and Cameroon winning the African semifinals, here is where the list stands.
Argentina will be with a win over Chile on Sunday. Columbia will be in with a win, but if they can win a set, the drop in points will be less if they lose to Brazil.Czech Republic and Kazakhstan are basically hoping for Columbia to lose in straight sets to Brazil, plus one Mexico loss will help as well.
Croatia is hoping for the same as Czech Republic and Kazakhstan to get into the top 22 spots.
In Norceca, Mexico needs to defeat DR to have a chance at making the top 22. Canada was pushed into the probably with a 20 point swing with one match needed.

Erika was not in the team photo on the front of the TAB page, and that kind of gave me a hint that she was done.
