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

 

Very likely like this, but it's not official yet.

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

 

Only if they are really sure to be stronger...otherwise they can end up like France in Rio.

Yes, IMO only Brazil, Poland or USA can think like that.

The rest have to take it game by game, even Italy or Russia who are normally considered big teams.

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 they changed the rule about how to award points

 

finishing 9th won't be a disaster like it was 4 years ago, we will have 2 pts more than France and Iran can't go lower than 9th. so 8th place in the ranking is 100% guaranteed for Iran.  (we can be 7th among the qualified teams if Canada fails to qualify, still Iran goes to Group A, no need to say if Iran qualifies which is a big if considering the current level)

 

check this. I assume you guys you have to re calculate things if you counted everything based on the previous system

Iran cant drop indeed.

 

The situation for Italy and Canada remains as we said. They can fall behind Russia and Argentina respectively.

 

Also, I wonder when we get rid of those silly World league points. Canada and France have huge points from that.

And Canada lost, so the World Ranking will be:

 

1 Brazil

2 USA

3 Poland

4 Italy

5 Russia

6 Argentina

7 Canada

8 Iran

9 France

10 Japan

11 Serbia

12 Egypt

13 Belgium

 

and the rest unchanged from the previous ranking: http://www.fivb.org/en/volleyball/VB_Ranking_M_2018-10.asp

 

which would lead to these groups if the serpentine system is used:

 

A) Japan, Poland, Italy

B) Brazil, USA, Russia, Argentina

with Canada and Iran sure to be in A) if they qualify.

We are not the greatest example of renewal, but little by little our future is emerging.
