We already passed you in the rankings earlier today when you got swept by Poland (by a couple of points), but if Thailand can beat Canada that might change. Not taking any games against them lightly, they swept us at last years VNL.

I am not hopeful at all about our chances, but I hope it stays this close throughout the VNL. Let's at least make it exciting!

 lost the 1st set vs  despite a 24-20 lead 

 

but then they made up for that and destroyed the Hosts, winning 3-1 in the end

 

for  monster match by Vargas, but it wasn't enough against a good collective effort of our girls

 

this win (added to those against and ) should seal the deal in terms of the Olympic qualification for us

I decided to take a deeper look on the  v  race for the final quota.

 

Schedule wise the Netherlands has a tougher remaining schedule. Between the non-overlapped teams they have  while Canada has  plus they have a head to head match against each other. This could also be to the Netherlands' benefit as they could score some extra points should they pull off an upset (particularly against the Dominican Republic). On the flip side, Canada's match against Germany could be quite dangerous as they are quite capable of beating us which would inflict some damage.

 

Obviously the head to head match will be very important and given it is the penultimate match it could very well determine who gets to go to the Olympics.

From a fairness standpoint I think it would be ideal if that's the case.

Thank you for the analysis! From a neutral standpoint a deciding head to head match would be amazing. As a worried Dutch fan I hope we are still close by then...

Do we have any ideas on draw potential groups for the Olympics?
