What is the point of having same teams playing in QF as they played in main round? :wacko: Can't FIVB for once make a reasonable format? At this rate I am gonna miss the third round final six lol

Because it's played in 2 countries a thousand km apart all the way to semis and they want to minimize the number of teams traveling in the final stages.

naaaa...it's because Italy so far have been less than convincing (still, we won all the games, especially the hard fight against Belgium) and because of the stupid rules of the championship (the fact that the quarterfinals won't be a crossover with the opposite pool, but teams will have to play again the same already seen in the main round)...

this makes it a lot more "tactical" and it might be better losing the main round match before the replay in the knockout stage...

 

by the way, good luck and enjoy the afternoon...;)

so thats why maybe USA didnt use 2 key players against serbia (without this meaning that serbia's win is devalued)

Not only QF, but also SF I think, meaning we'll only have different matches in final/3rd place.

These second pool rounds make the tournaments feel like a slow grind instead of an exciting all-or-nothing moment, like say a football or athletics world championship.

 

Anyway, happy to see another win for the Dutch and especially happy that our coach finally let Dambrink play multiple full sets. Dambrink is younger, better and more varied than Plak. All Plak has over her is experience and past performances, but right now Dambrink is simply the better option tbh.
