Isn’t a guarantee that we’d win the set of course, but now there’s always gonna be a “what if?” if we lose this match, because of this ref being a complete and utter moron.

They should’ve been relegated each of the last three years, but the stupid “core team” bullshit kept them in VNL. I’m glad  is staying rather than  

Thailand sometimes seems like an amateur team. I wasn't a big fan of them in this tournament.

 

But they definitely deserve a spot here more than Korea.

 defeat  in 5!! 
 

Hilary Johnson with 25 points, and Maglio with 19 points including 8 blocks!

 

We finish VNL with a 3-9 record, honestly pretty pleased with most of the matches considering the squad we’ve sent (no Gray, and KVR/Brie not playing weeks 2/3)

 

Hilary Johnson has to be the player of VNL for Canada, with 166 points. Emily Maglio also had a solid showing with 123 points. Hadn’t heard of Nyadholi Thokbuom (hope she’s okay, she took a ball to the face against China and hasn’t played since) before this VNL, but she had a senior NT debut to remember and I’m excited to see what she can do for us in the future. But I’ve been especially impressed with the youngsters, Abby Guezen, who’s only 19 years old and swinging rockets and Anna Smrek, who’s pretty much a wall at the net.

It's always hell playing against Germany, they don't make mistakes and are very fast.

Winning the round without taking any games and then catching the U.S. in the quarters... Something that can only happen to Italy

They shouldn’t be too much of an issue for  if they’re not fielding their entire A-squad… otherwise they could put up a fight but I still see Italy winning.

Quarterfinals start today!  (as long as I don’t wake up too late/don’t fall asleep)

 

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it I might watch the FISU Games volleyball instead, after all we only get it once every four years.

Universiades are every 2 years

I'm surprised at how consistent Poland has been in recent years, even with some very obvious weaknesses. 

However, for the world championship this could be a problem, just as it was at the Olympics.
