Men's Volleyball FIVB World Championship 2025


Recommended Posts

My FIVB/FIFA bracket (see above - post #171).

 

:USA - :JPN --- :USA 

:ESP - :MAR --- :ESP 

 

:CRO - :FRA —- :FRA 

:SUI - :SEN —- :SUI 

 

:URU - :PAN --- :URU 

:BRA - :NED --- :BRA 

 

:SCO - :IRI --- :IRI 

:GER - :COL --- :COL 

 

1/8 went on with no major surprises until match 8 when Germans went out

 

QFs:

 

:USA - :ESP

:FRA - :SUI

:URU - :BRA

:IRI - :COL 

 

This is just pure fun - putting FIFA rankings teams instead of FIVB ranking teams into the bracket.

 

But it shows very well how surprising these volleyball WCH are.
 

And I must admit I would love to see such an entertaining football World Cup as well, full of surprises.

So, on paper we have two clear favorites tomorrow: Italy and Poland and two very close matches on Thursday: 50/50%. Although I'm very worried about tomorrow's match against Belgium – the pressure will be intense for us, becouse second consecutive defeat to Belgium at the World Championship would be embarrassing. However, if we win, we can play without any pression, as no one in Italy expects us to beat Poland after our recent matches against them.

Belgium are super underrated and a great team, come on. Obviously it’ll be disappointing, and will feel like a missed opportunity, but having watched them here and at the Olympic Qualifiers they deserve a higher ranking.

Why do I have the feeling that this World Champ will end the same way as always, that is, on the podium with Poland, the USA and Italy? :p

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
    • If you have time would love to see a sport by sport overview of the changes/new sports
    • Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.
    • How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
