Well even with that loss you still have a chance to qualify through the World Rankings. Two or more of Germany, Canada, and Belgium can’t qualify through the OQT though.

Basically Germany should not qualify, because probably Canada or Belgium will qualify, but not both. Then it will be tight again. Especially with these kinds of losses.

Canada takes the first set 25-21 against Poland 

 

Leon, Sliwka, and Fornal weren’t on… but still.

Well, if we would go through then Canada would be out. But it is risky business, Canada could just as well qualify with the sometimes randomness that the VNL is. It was hypothetically speaking. I would be gutted if both of our teams just miss the cut. I'm totally okay with just one team making it - just the media exposure at the Olympics alone is important. If they don't make it they will only show meh field hockey because we're good at it and waterpolo. Maybe football.

 

Covering sports where we don't participate is just too much for the NOS.

when it comes down to the Olympic Games, just take a month with Discovery+ and you have all the world, you won't miss a thing 

 

it's a dream come true after years of poor and (badly) selected coverage by the national TV networks all around the world

12-6 Poland lead in set two.

Poland respond, taking the second set 25-20.

Poland take the third set 25-20. 
 

I’m afraid this one is over for Canada.

5-1 Canada to 9-9 in set four.

Canada takes the fourth set 25-20, and we’re going to 5!
