Incredible game for Ukraine. We had a comfortable lead in the second set and it could have ended 3:0 in favour of our team.

But Darlan was the men who made it bottom up. Superb game from Brazilian star.

:IRI coach Behrouz Ataei resigned after their 3-1 loss to the Czech Republic (also suffering earlier losses to Ukraine in 3 and Germany in 4). Assistant coach Alireza Toloukian takes over for the remainder of the tournament.

Here are my predictions for the top three (and quotas) in each pool. 

 

Pool A: :ITA:BRA - :IRI

Pool B: :USA:SLO - :JPN

Pool C: :POL:ARG - :CAN

Update:

 

Pool A: Iran traveled with their A-squad to the Asian Games in China, and a couple of days later went to Rio for the OQT. They’re also missing a few key players (Ebadipour being one of them) don’t know why I had them placing within the top three (probably should’ve gone with Cuba then Germany then Iran)
 

Brazil has been an absolute mess as well, but I thought they would pull it together in time. Guess not… 

 

Germany is having a phenomenal run. Grozer, of course the star of the team with 105 points in 4 matches :yikes::bowdown:

 

Right now I’d go with :GER:ITA

 

Pool B: United States and Slovenia performing as expected. Turkey, despite their 1-3 record are playing really well too, with a win in 4 over Serbia. Definitely a team to watch for the future. Japan struggling against Finland (barely surviving in 5) and losing to Egypt (also in 5) was definitely not something I had on my bingo card, although after their first match against Finland, an upset for Egypt seemed very much possible. Fatigue must be setting in. 

 

Still going with :SLO:USA

 

Pool C: Belgium and Canada are the real surprises of this pool. Belgium, by sweeping Netherlands, and losing to Argentina and Poland in 5. Canada, by winning against Netherlands in 5, winning against Argentina in 4, and losing to Poland in 5. Don’t know what’s happened to Netherlands, must be the same situation with Japan. Nimir is playing well though. Poland has shown they are far from unbeatable but should place first in the pool. 
 

Going with :POL:CAN now

You were more optimistic than any brazilian. :d

Totally expected result, we unfortunately expected that only Italy would be a decent team here, so we could at least win the second quota.
