Cuba vs. Brazil was intense! 3-2 and 27-25 in tie-break :bounce:

Another good day for Africa.

Hosts :TUN won 3-2 over :BLR , and some good news for @thepharoah as :EGY defeated :ARG 3-1 and is now surely qualified to the next round!

In group D, shockingly :KOR won 3-1 over :USA

Czech Republic beat Iran 3-0 and qualified to the next round. That's actually pretty surprising, I thought they would win only against Colombia :yikes:I also continue to be impressed by Egypt, hopefully their recent successes in junior competitions mean we will finally have a strong African side in volleyball.

Not a lot happened today, the only highlight I can think of is Czech victory over Bulgaria (3-0). It's also worth noticing Egypt won against Mexico also 3-0 and therefore won group C. We can also safely say the top 3 of each group are qualified to next round. Pool A is an exception, because we already know all qualifying teams.

POOL A: :CUB  :BRA  :TPE  :BLR

POOL B: :CZE  :IRI  :ITA
POOL C: :EGY  :JPN  :GER
POOL D: :RUS  :USA  :KOR

Sadly, the hosts :TUN are the only team confirmed so far that won't play next round, because they played all of their group stage games and still have less points than :BLR which currently is placed 4th and still has one more match to play.

In Pool B, the last remaining spot will be decided tommorow between :BUL and :COL

In Pool C and D, there's still a small chance for :MEX and :DOM to advance instead of :ARG and :NGR respectively, however both teams would have to win the matches in three sets. :MEX would also have to hope that :JPN can defeat :ARG heavily.

We now know that the 3 remaining qualifiers are :BUL:ARG and :NGR


Final Group Standings:


Pool A) :BRA:CUB:BLR:TPE :TUN
Pool B) :ITA:CZE:IRI:BUL :COL
Pool C) :EGY:JPN:ARG:GER:MEX

Pool D) :RUS:USA:KOR:NGR:DOM

So, :TUN:COL:MEX and :DOM will form one more group and fight for 17th-20th places.

 

Meanwhile, eightfinals are as follows:
:ITA vs :TPE
:JPN vs :KOR

:CZE vs :BLR
:EGY vs :NGR

:RUSvs :GER

:CUB vs :IRI
:USA vs :ARG

:BRA vs :BUL

Personally, I'm surprised that only 6 of theste 16 teams are European. Also, either :CZE or :BLR and :NGR or :EGY are going to play quarterfinals:yikes:

It seems Czech's mission here was only to beat Iran and ruin Iran's chance of a medal :d they lost to Belarus today while other Group B teams managed to win the eight finals, even Bulgaria beat Brazil.

 

Russia vs Italy in the final looks very possible now.

 

Quarterfinals

 

:ITA vs :JPN

:BLR vs :EGY

:RUS vs :IRI
:ARG vs :BUL

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
