    France in a really good position to take the last SF spot after winning, two 3-0 matches..


    If SRB, RUS, FRA win all their games tomorrow, France proceed to QF


    Russia needs to win against Brazil AND hope both SRB and FRA lose their respective matches to proceed to QF which puts them on a tough spot

    Slovenia x Japan should be interesting especially if Nishida-Ishikawa duo plays. When was the last time these two teams met? Hoping for a exciting match

    Serbia's chances of making the SF is shut down after Netherlands forced a tiebreak

    I think winning was more important here, as Russia and France still has to beat Brazil and Poland and Serbia only has Canada left.. I think Serbia could well nab that 4th SF spot. Dang Netherlands I counted on you lol

    So Muserskiy is out for VNL, and I would be surprised he will be included in the roster for OG next month. But based on the Russian forums, the injury was a way to "save face" for Dima and the Federation, as the former didn't really convince and for the latter to avoid issuing a statement for Muserskiy not making the roster for Tokyo.

    I have to be honest, I want Slovenia in Final 4 and I hope they will win and secure their place on their own.

    Slovenia deserve to be in Final 4 for beating Poland, Russia, & France. I hope Russia take the other SF spot so the Final 4 can be really competitive :box:

    But Anderson’s form is still worrying, not much time is left for him before the OG…

    I wonder what the coaching staff of team USA were thinking, in having Anderson play so few matches as he basically had no volleyball for over a year :gone:

    I think Slovenia still remains 3rd seed even if they lose today (and win the remaining matches) but they have to count on Russia and France losing to Brazil and Poland respectively.

    Lazareva didn't really convince me as Goncha's backup with the little matches she has played. I argue even Arina would make a better backup Opp than her. I would take Smirnova as second Opp at least she can be useful as a serving sub

    Russia ahead of France getting the #4 ranking. Their only real test next week will be Brazil, if they win that match, they are in to SF.. Will there be a draw for SF or 1-4 and 2-3 seed teams will meet?
