With two defeats, without having played any of the three top teams yet, this should mean the end of any hope.

To be fair, the Belgian team did not expect to qualify here, but hoped to gain a lot of points. With losses against PR and Argentinia, this target will also be missed. Hard to see them qualifying through the ranking.

I really expected Belgium had a chance to upset the favourites in this group, but I was completely wrong. Sad for Belgium to miss Britt Herbots when it matters most.

Belgium are currently more than 80 points behind both NL and DR. I can’t really see how they can make up that many points, let alone that both GER and CAN would also stand a chance if and when NL and DR would stumble dramatically enough.

Especially not because this summer Belgium failed to qualify for next years VNL. So basically this tournament is their last chance to grab some points for the ranking.
