Poland looked great also today, with a good come back in the third and then controlled the match in the fourth. They need one more win...

Italy will face three tough opponents in the last turn, let's see how we'll arrive there!

I agree with you - we'll know much more on Saturday after USA-ITA, POL-IRI and RUS-ARG.
I think there will be the same as for women WC 10-1 enough to qualify. Last three days of competition are crucial (ITA-RUS, POL-USA, USA-RUS and POL-ITA) however do not forget Argentina and ... Iran. Both teams are able to grab some points (or even win) from favourites.
So far I'm surprised how bad play Australia.

Yes Iran can, recently Iran B team won Australia A team in Asian championship, and last year they smashed Australia in W CH. By the way, Asian qualifiers is a really easy way to qualify. imagine a tournament with Iran, Australia, China, Japan, Serbia, Italy, Venezuela and Cuba or Canada. 4 teams will qualify through this, I think even with a bad performance Iran can be at least 4th in that tournament. even I think we will have more than 1 Asian in Rio.

Ok, it's much easier but still we do not have all participants. We'll see more (Japan, Australia, Iran) after World Cup.

Both Iran and US can easily qualify through continental elimination tournaments. I wonder if they treat this tournament as a must win one

Are you sure ? Do not forget Australia will play in Asian tournament !

Maybe Logan Tom?

We will know it latest on 19th Aug.

It's hard to believe I'll not see Glinka in Azoty Arena anymore !

Thank you for fighting spirit ! One of such games like last year against Russia and Brazil.
I see only World Champion is able to win in Iran (last year Brazil and now Poland).

PS - I don't like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuvuzela in football (soccer) or volleyball !

Wolosz-Skowronska-Veljkovic-Bednarek-Werblinska-Mihajlvoic-Zenik, this line up looks quite competitive but I just hope that they get a better MB than Bednarek, or she would play better with Wolosz, because Ognjenovic didn't really like setting to her due to the fail of trust.

I agree with your comments however Glinka is still one of the best players (and she will not participate in NT so she will reserve more energy for next season). I also like Bednarek - she is able to win some sets by service and block.

The biggest sector flag (in Polish volleyball competitions) will be presented in Szczecin during Final Four - 450 sqm.
Chemik Police sponsored PLN 6000,- the rest is founded by fans PLN 17500.

What a strange way of thinking is this??? Gryka was born in Poland but grew up in Germany and started to play volleyball here, so when she was in junior age nobody in Poland knew about her That's certainly not the same as "not being interested" in playing for Poland...but then, I'd be glad to have her in Germany NT...

I agree with you Matthias

5400 Chemik's fans were great. We didn't stop support our team anytime even after first terrible set.
Sometimes referee's decisions were strange but they didn't change final result.
Good game, fighting spirit, loud supporters, free gift for all fans (Chemik scarf) - good job organizer.
Finally live music and laser show just after match !

If I good remember in Men's WCH was the same rule but Poland and Brazil as Groups Winners were in the same pool.

France was the winner. Have you seen this ceremony on TV ?

Bartek wrote:

I think draw will show:

A- Brazil, Italy, Dominican Republic

B- Russia, USA, China

Brazil and Italy cannot be in the same pool as both teams won pools E and F

Have you seen it (360 picture fm Final):

Congratulations to Poland and thank you for ... fighting spirit.
I didn't expect such solid team who never gave up.

Thank you Wlazły, Zagumny and Ignaczak for all of these years in our NT.

Congratulation to Brazil (excellent performance after weak start in World League) and Germany (especially to Grozer)
