Good point for Canada to counter the one we lost against the Netherlands.

 

Looks like the second quota is going to come down to Belgium vs. Canada. Who would have guessed that going into the tournament?

Belgium also lost 3-2 to Poland, but won 3-0 against Netherlands.

Either Canada or Belgium is going to have to lose to each other. I guess if Argentina beats Belgium and Belgium beats Canada they would both have two losses.

Yeah, the Belgium v Argentina and the Belgium v Canada games will decide the second team in the group.  It'll be more clear after we see who wins in the former game tonight. Of course that assumes Poland beats Argentina, which is not a given.

There's still the Nation's League next year before the rankings are finalized. Assuming Brazil maintains their ranking they should easily qualify. Even if not, Brazil has quite the point buffer, they'd have to lose most of their VNL games to be in danger.

 1-3 

 

This result will probably give the second quota to Germany.

Of course we still have to wait for the rest of the tournament, but honestly Brazil won't beat Italy.

Leal will not compete in the tournament due to health problems. Now we only have Lucarelli in the OH position, as the others are useless. 

 

Honestly, it's a great opportunity for Iran, Germany or Cuba to win the second quota.

Now I realized, Honorato and Adriano finished the match with 0 points each in a 4 set match!!  I still hoped I was wrong about the above comment.

I'm guessing that in this group Italy and unexpected Cuba will qualify.
