By my math is official. But the commentators and the Dutch team are acting like it’s not confirmed.

What would the world rankings look like if :CAN beats :FRA 3-0 and :NED loses to :KOR 0-3?


Wouldn’t Canada then still pass the Netherlands? The gap was small between both teams before this match and :FRA is much higher rated than :KOR.

  • The top 3 in Group A is very clear to me (:SRB:TUR :BUL), with :FIN :GRE and :FRA battling it out for the last spot in the Round of 16. That's really a toss-up for me, as I think they could all take that final spot.
     
  • Group B: :ITA and :POL are of course the biggest favorites. :BEL is a clear number 3 for me after their good performance this year in the Nations League. I don't think :POR stands any change, so :SLO and :UKR will battle it out for that fourth place.
     
  • Group C is obviously the weakest here, with :AZE not performing as well as they back in 2016 and 2017, although they should still finish 2nd. I don't see any serious threat for :NED in that group, they seem to be the clear group winners to me, whereas :EST is the clear number 6 here in my opinion. That means :CRO :ROU and :HUN will battle for third and fourth place.
     
  • :RUS and :GER are the clear favorites in Group D, but perhaps :BLR could surprise them here. They have shown good results against weaker teams, but I think they're ready to make the next step. Surprised to see that :SUI even qualified for this tournament. They should be happy with any win. I put :SVK over :ESP for 4th place in this group because of home advantage and the slightly better results in the past year.

I have to agree with your picks. What I predict:

 

Group A: 1. :SRB 2. :TUR 3. :BUL 4. :FIN 5. :GRE 6. :FRA 

Group B: 1. :ITA 2. :POL 3. :BEL 4. :SLO 5. :UKR 6. :POR 

Group C: 1. :NED 2. :AZE 3. :HUN 4. :ROU 5. :CRO 6. :EST 

Group D: 1. :RUS 2. :GER 3. :BLR 4. :SVK 5. :ESP 6. :SUI 

 

Semis: :SRB vs. :NED and :ITA vs. :RUS 

Final: :SRB vs. :ITA 

Winner: :ITA 

 

Notes:

 

  • I actually think :TUR deserves a medal here, but because of the draw, they will most likely meet :SRB in the quarter finals, and I think :SRB will win that matchup, although I believe they are currently stronger than both :NED and :RUS.
  • :POL will most likely meet :ITA in the quarter finals, that's why I don't predict them to make the semis either, although I believe they are stronger than :RUS at the moment.

Wasn't able to watch the match as I'm at work, but I gave up hope after I saw that they were trailing 0-2. The highlights of this match must be incredible. Can't wait to find a proper video tonight.

Amazing bronze medal for the Dutch women after beating China and Russia, both in five sets. Russia even had 4 match points in the third set.

 

The Dutch girls have made incredible progress in the past two years. I'm curious to see what they can do in Rio.
