So Poland is 90% qualified, right? I can't see them losing to Germany.

Well, you can't take anything for granted. We can still qualify if we lose but Canada beats Dominicana IIRC.

So USA is just not caring about these second round matches anymore, right?

Even if Brazil loses in the quarterfinals, I'm already surprised by this team.

 

After 2016 there was a concern, because we had practically no players to replace that Olympic champion team (our under 18 and under 20 teams are mostly a joke). The result was several defeats for teams like Germany and Colombia. And now the team is playing solid again, and most importantly with new players.

 

And of course, all this thanks to our spectacular coach.

beat 3-2 so Poland has qualified to the quarter-finals (for the first time since 1962).

 

If they beat Germany 3-0 or 3-1 they will play again. 3-2 win or any loss means will be the QF rival.

Why on earth teams from Group E and F will play against each other again? Why it couldnt be 1E with 4F, 2E with 3F and so on?

To avoid travelling between Netherlands and Poland. Teams that would travel for QF would be clearly disadvantaged. This is still unavoidable for the final & 3rd place match so the Gliwice SF will be played one day before the Apeldoorn SF.

 

First two QF are done:

 

beat 3-1

beat 3-0

Brazil returned (2-2) from 0-2. Lets see in tie-break

I almost feel bad for Japan. Some of the most intense defenses I've seen in my life. Fukudome is a fighter, no question about it. But I'm happy for this Brazilian team, of course. I can't see they beating Italy again, but you never know.
