OlympicsFan 776 Posted September 26, 2018 #491 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Still amazed that Germany wasnt able to qualify for this considering how many garbage teams managed to qualify. With a decent format this world cup would last 2 weeks at most and the teams could even get some rest in between games. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't qualify because Grozer didn't play the qualifiers vs Belgium and Germany is very weak whenever he doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because this system doesn't fit women's volleyball like men , people won't be really interested to see all these no. of matches in women side like men and it will be really tiring for female teams to play 12 matches in almost 20 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that in the 2nd round there will be 2 pools of 8 teams instead of 4 pools of 4. Top teams will play 13 matches. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
