@CCB well we’re down 1-0, you’re right back into it:facepalm:

First unexpected loss for Canada this VNL. This brings back the chances for the Dutch team. But honestly, our team plays so inconsistently. One moment they play incredibly well, the next moment it's not worth watching. They are missing a real top player, who finishes the points.

 

We'll see what happens in the last five matches. I wish both teams the best :CAN:NED

The big difference between the 2016/2018 successful Dutch team and the current one is the absence of an opposite like Lonneke Sloetjes.  Celeste Plak does not deliver the same consistency and number of points and I’m still not convinced that Damberink has what it takes.
 

So we’ve fallen back from being number 4 to 6 of the world (with 4th places at both the Rio Olympics and 2018 Worlds) to around 10 to 12. Good enough to scare a better team on our day and to make to the final 4 at the Europeans but not good enough to be competitive for prices at the World stage.

The fight between NED and CAN will come down to their direct match. Whoever gets the win most likely gets also the quota. 

 

They have 4 more matches with both playing France & Korea, which they should win, and 2 other matches they should lose (on paper). So the direct match will be the key.

Maybe if we ask nicely someone like @ChandlerMne or @NikolaB wants to spend 2 minutes searching in Serbian if Boskovic will play the last week of the Nations League :d 

Nope. You are safe 😂😂😂

Given their 3-0 victory against France this morning, and the limited number of points Canada can gain against South Korea this evening (our time), the Dutch tem has leapfrogged Canada. Still too close to call.

By the end of week 2. :NED leads :CAN by 2.21 points. Canada has a tougher set in week 3 (:ITA :JPN :FRA  vs. :USA :SRB :KOR), but the match between the two nations will go a long way to determine who goes to the Olympics.

 

Every set matters

:CAN defeat :KOR 3-0 ;)

 

Struggled a bit in the closing stages of the 3rd set, but otherwise South Korea got demolished. 
 

Not sure how this is a “core team” …

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
