Weird, why didn't they schedule  -  as the last game instead of having it at 10am local time? 

 

because that's the only slot given by the Brazilian TV (I remember a lot of the old World League games BRA vs ITA played at the same hour -when here it was broadcasted by the glory days of the good old Telemontecarlo)...

 

later in the day, there's only place for football (soccer, I mean)...

China qualified with a comfortable win over Turkey. Russia, USA, Serbia are going to win later, as expected the only interesting match remaining is ITA-NED tonight.

You made a mistake - it won't be Serbia but Poland. At least that's what I believe in on my way to the hall.

Very brave performance by our team. I take back the words i said before the tournament. It truly could have been the upset of the year, but it wasn't.  Now if only Argentina can make a miracle, but i know it's only wishful thinking.

It's a disaster, we will have very few European teams

Big opportunity for Thailand/Kazakhstan to qualify to the Olympics.

 

It also makes the Italy/Netherlands match all the more important.

I just don't get it. FIVB is apparently incapable of making a reasonable qualification system.

Worse than FIVB giving few places to Europe is to see this team from Russia taking an easier group unfairly and still losing 3-0 to Korea.

 

Meanwhile Italy and Netherlands that are a thousand times better have to kill each other for a place
