Quote from Way2Much

Damn, that 5th set loss to Japan is so crucial.

I must say that 5 set win yesterday is to be blamed. They played really bad against Italy. Russia could have won that game in 3 or 4 sets but their unforced errors were all over the place. Kliuka has been the key player for the team. When he plays bad the team always gets defeated.

I just want them to lose this last game against Brazil as a consolation. Losing to Brazil only means they really don't deserve a spot to Final 4.

I'm still puzzled why Musersky is playing the opposite position. I might be right Sammuelvo will pick 3 OPP 3 OH 3MB for Tokyo 😂

Too many errors from Kliuka. So clumsy 🙄

NIMIR you are truly phenomenal. Such a wonderful player to watch. 🙌

What a comeback from Slovenia. Mozic is such a revelation. Russia will surely have a tough opponent tomorrow.

Iran is showing an impressive run two weeks in a row. Might also be a contender for final 4.

Quote from inc0gnito

Russia needs to beat Serbia, Slovenia, and Brazil to make it to Top 4, Brazil especially will be a hard nut to crack.

Serbia most probably gets the 4th spot if Russia loses one more game. Serbia's remaining opponents are easier to beat than those of Russia's.

Thrilling games so far. I wonder if Russia can still defeat all their remaining games especially the Brazillians or else they won't be able to defend their title.

The service errors of Russia just too much 🙄

Grebennikov doing wonders for France.

I didn't expect that comeback though. Still not enough 😔

Might be the time to put Kobzar and Poletaev.

This is more like a battle of service errors 🤭

Very effective ball distributions from Pankov

Musersky playing the opposite position

That was a great showing from Volkov. I hope he will be part of the starting line up tomorrow with Kliuka.

Quote from jt1267

Poor Poletaev...

I have a feeling that Sammelvuo might pick 3 opposites (including Musersky) 3MBs 3OHs 2 setters and a libero.

Quote from inc0gnito

Agree. I don't think Muserskiy is Russia's #1 MB, him and Iakovlev will fight for that 3rd MB spot.

But I think he will surely get a spot in Tokyo for a reason that he can become a substitute for Mikhaylov in crucial cases like in London.

Volvich is not that good to be picked for Tokyo. I hope Iakovlev will recover soon. I want him, Vlasov and Kurkaev get the positions for MB.

Quote from Rains

I don't think Kurek is safe. Symbolically, yes because of his WCH performance but currently, I prefer other opposites over him.

He will surely be the primary opposite. His experience gives him that lock.
