You’re all going to get through to the quarterfinals either way though, because you have  in your group 

 

Now, I wouldn’t underestimate them (played really well at the Olympic Qualifiers), but they’re by far the weakest team in the tournament. 
 

As far as  goes, glad we didn’t get but unfortunately we drew the second toughest teams (from my/Canada’s perspective) in all groups, so not much of an improvement

 

I would’ve been fine any one of Japan, Brazil, US, Argentina, or Egypt, but instead we get none.

Egypt always sucks at Olympics in Volleyball , we are always the weakest team except one in Rio where we defeated Cuba , they will make us a shish kabab for sure

this is not basketball where you can qualify by 1 very big win, in volleyball you can't win more than 3 sets 

 

no guarantee any of those 3 teams can qualify with just 3 pts (from a 3-0 win against Egypt) They need at least 1 pt (2 sets) in one of those two matches.

Honestly, Serbia is worse than all the teams you mentioned (except Egypt) and I still think Slovenia will fail, as they don't have a B team and they will probably arrive at the Olympics exhausted. 

 

Considering how well Canada is doing I think your chances are good.

Most of us don't care any more about groups. We just care if....this time...we will win 1/4. So maybe this group is good for us in this perspective. If we don't have to face Slovenia 🙂🙂 of course in 1/4
