Brazil will be the champions.

 

After winning their first 2 games Egypt lost 7 in a row  even lost to Tunisia.

 

Japan are great but it's not a surprise to me since they are taking the cup very seriously.

 

And in the middle there are 5 teams tied with record 4-5. I think our team will probably finish 5th, which is a lot better than I expected.

That rally from today's  vs game captures exactly why I love this sport Hands down one of the best defensive plays I have ever seen in volleyball

With today's win over Japan, Brazil wins the Gold Medal of the World Cup Poland and United States will most likely fight for the 2nd/3rd place, and Japan will take the  4th one.

@Dunadan Canada about to lose their 6th place in world ranking if they don't win the last match, right?

Yes, that's right...and they would send Argentina to group B at the Olympics.

 

(and hopefully Iran won't beat Poland 3-2, otherwise Italy could join that group as well)

I can bet my everything that's not going to happen. this Iran can't beat anybody , they just want to finish the tournament and go to their clubs. Iran only won few matches when they played with reserved players.

 

do we already know the Olympic groups ? still the serpantine system like this ?

 

Group A) H, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11

Group B) 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10

 

I assume 11 will be CHI/VEN

 

so far I can say the only sure thing is BRA=1, USA=2, POL=3

 

I think everybody wants Group A, right ? Iran (if qualifies) will be in Group A for sure.

Not 100% sure. If Iran finish this world cup 9th place, you'll lose 20 points and France can overtake that place in the ranking.

 

If that happens and Canada and France also qualify, then Iran goes to group B.

I think that stronger teams want to play in stronger group cause that means easier opponent in quarter final
