To be fair to Canada, Vicentin is the definition of mid. Mofo gave up like 15 points by himself. Legends tell that he's still spiking balls to the stands of Xi'an.
Can't believe his Sudamericano performance deceived me into thinking he got good.

We're going to allow this mid canadian team into the olympics, I wanna cry
40 errors, beyond pathetic performance.
The problem, as always, is that FIVB seeds host as N°1. Basketball and Rugby sevens (which have the same 3 pool system) don't do that.
Serbia is qualified already. On wiki tounaments results Serbia is marked Q.
Yes, they changed it just now.
Can someone explain to me why FIVB (and wikipedia as well) has not acknowledged Serbia as qualified yet?
yes!, finally some emotions in these qualifiers.
We would have a great team if we had even one decent OH that could score something but anyway, good effort. It's really late but I'm going to bed satisfied.
If they were to play against each other every day over the course of summer, Turkey would have beaten Slovenia only once, and that is a maybe. And it seems today is the day lol
But they already won a friendly against them weeks ago...
I already pointed it out these turks only wake up against good teams.
I bet they will lose to Finland at the OQT after beating some big teams.
Now Turkey lost to Portugal. Pool D is pure chaos.
Turks can still make it out with a W vs Israel but they can't finish better than 4th, which means Slovenia in 1/8.
Romania, the new powerhouse of world volleyball somehow
Turkey is such an enigma. Always play well against strong teams and always play bad against minnows.
Argentina defeats Brazil for the first time at the south american championship
Finally the legacy of this generation is complete. I'm overjoyed.
Roster for south american championship:
O: Kukartsev, Lima
S: De Cecco, Sanchez
OH: Armoa, Conte, Martinez, Vicentin, Palacios
MB: Gallego, Loser, Ramos, Zerba
L: Danani
Palonsky is out injured.
First time since 2013 in which De Cecco and Conte will play this competition together. Always one or both of them were absent.
It will probably be the last sudamericano they play as well.
Wow, Argentina beat Serbia? Go hermanas
I know Serbia are not as strong as they could be, but still, that's a great win. And without Margaria too.
Not only her but without OPPs Cugno (with senior team) and Vaulet (NCAA) too. And they deserved better against Poland yesterday too.
I know the opponents miss a lot of players as well but ARG is basically playing without any decent attackers here. The libero carries the team with her saves and setting ability and there's all around good serve.
Argentina always had excellent liberos
i remember a girl but idk her name i think victoria,she was good
Now pelozzo that is with senior NT from youth categories is good also
Pelozo wasn't this good at the same age that I recall.
IDK I'm just tired of watching awful 40 year old Rizzo playing every competition without being challenged.
This girl Victoria Caballero is probably the first decent Argentinian libero I've watched in life.
We made our best player skip the U19 to play this and she gets injured as soon as the match starts (and it looked like a tournament-ending injury).
Such is life.
This Argentina team coached by Castellani will be in VNL sooner than later. Mark my words.
France won, as expected. Korea amazing Bronze.
All-star team...
OHs - Henno (FRA), Lee (KOR)
MBs - Ghielchniazi (IRN), Seddik (FRA)
S - Tizi-Oualou (FRA)
L - Tabatabei (IRN)
OP - Pujol (FRA)
MVP - Henno (FRA)
His predictions for the U21 were good except for Poland.
U19 is really hard to predict, we're seeing it with the women as well.
