Volleyball at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

Despite the shock win over the USA, Canada will still likely need to win against both Mexico and Italy to make it to the quarters.  Tough road.  Tough group.  Maybe just a win against Mexico will be enough...strange results so far make it unsure.

The Netherlands still in the running for 2nd place in pool B, which is the pool with USA, China, Serbia and Italy.

Hope   and  will all be able to win tonight

Well, we were beaten 2-3 by Russia, however its nota big deal since we still played decent.

Now I hope France wins against USA and Canada wins against Mexico

With Poland's defeat, now if Argentina beats Egypt 3-0,  will top the group.

What a crazy situation in group A Who would've thought Canada will play so well, with Brazil and France on the edge of elimination after group tage ( honestly, I can't imagine whay feeling must Brazilan volley fans have, knowing that the next match can very well be their last at the OG ). In the group B both Argentina and Iran showed they can take on anyone, and although the results are not that unexpected, there were some nice surprises, and even Egypt won an olympic game

Overall I must admit I was feearing a rather weak tournament, but so far many matches were amazing,and the situation, especially in group A is unbevieleably exciting, I can not wait to see how it will resolve. Personally I am cheering for Canadas qualification, though

One thing for certain - I am not going to sleep tonight

It will be crazy night! I am cheering for Canadian team too. I think Canada may win. And the last match - Brazil vs. France - will be decide about the advance to quarterfinal. Wow!
