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.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
