Argentina was losing by 8 point difference in 4th set (produced almost entirely by a single great serve turn from Zaytsev) but almost won the set :yikes: even had 2 set points!

 

 

Too sad for this loss and that we don't take any points from this match. It's weird to say this in sports like tennis or volleyball where you only can win by scoring a fixed amount of points, but I really think our team played great and "deserved" more. They were only beaten by very specific circumstances like two good italian serve streaks on the 2nd and 4th sets and a questionable call in the 3rd one.

Brazil's defeat was mother of all surprises ! but Russia losing to USA was also a big surprise. specially because USA wasn't impressive so far.

 

There is a big chance Brazil finishing 3rd in Group B and Russia 2nd in Group C. which means whoever wins Group D will make life just harder for itself ! add Argentina (specially with the way they played tonight not the disastrous first match vs Belgium) to this group and then this will be the toughest possible group in 2nd round ! OK Poland you can take the group :p

What a huge win for USA! especially after that barely win against Australia, now with only Tunisia and Cameroon remaining we should be able to get to round 2 with 2 teams with Group D and 4th in group B (though with brazil's loss who know who it can be now)
