Men's Volleyball FIVB World Championship 2018


Recommended Posts

The draw is tomorrow. Apparently two teams will be placed in each group using a serpentine system based on the world ranking, with Italy in Pool A and Bulgaria in Pool D. So we should have:

 

POOL A (in Italy): Italy, Argentina

POOL B (in Bulgaria): Brazil, Canada

POOL C (in Italy): USA, Russia

POOL D (in Bulgaria): Bulgaria, Poland

 

and then a draw with

POT 3: Iran, France, Serbia, Japan

POT 4: Egypt, Belgium, Cuba, Australia

POT 5: Finland, China, Slovenia, Tunisia

POT 6: Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Cameroon, Dominican Republic

 

And this is the formula

This system is so bad i don't know where to begin... The main flaw however is that it makes tomorrow's draw absolutely decisive for any team with pretentions to make the third round.

So the world champion will play 13 games in 20 days? I do not know if the FIVB believes that athletes are human. :pope: Anyway, I hope we face a difficult group this time.

Actually it's 12 games, one less than 2014.

I don't know how they will decide the 2nd round pools...probably 2 teams from pool A vs 2 teams from pool C in Italy and 2 teams from pool B vs 2 teams from pool D in Bulgaria, but which ones:mumble:?

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
