They're definitely looking like the 3rd strongest team of the tournament that's for sure

Final Standing

France

[copravolley 657]

The Italian team has already achieved a better result than the Chinese team in 2022 at home. The Italian team has made enormous progress since 2023, when we were still losing to Korea and Poland. Of course, this is mainly due to naturalizations, but China did the same. It's one of the few sports that have made significant progress before these Olympics and this is how it should be in most disciplines at home games.

 looks like the better team vs  in the early going

[orangeman 2,877]

Canada looks terrible. They don't even know where the blue line is. 

[orangeman 2,877]

Ok, but that one wasn't actually offside.
