Men's Volleyball FIVB Olympic Qualification Tournaments 2023 Road to Paris 2024

[hoversaBR 281]

 2-2  

 

Japan what are you doing?

[Federer91 2,140]

Whoa, is it Christmas already  Did a just see our team have a great practical match, without dumb errors and effective play, like how the top teams perform.. Granted it was against a smaller team, but it's not like we didn't have 2-3 straight loses against China and similar teams the past few years. 

 

I still absolutely don't see us making top 2, but maybe we won't be the punching bag like in the past few tournaments. Thing is, if we keep a good form next week, we could play spoiler for someone else's chances for the Olympics.

I can't stand seeing this libero Thales on the court anymore. He's not our best libero, when will this coach accept that?

When he's fired 

 

The fact that we almost lost a set to Qatar shows that we'll have a hard time here.
