Iran just survived Finland. still thanks to Kolakovic they wasted 1 point here. Kolakovic didn't even put Mousavi and Marandi in the list underestimating Finland and our reserve libero was terrible in everything making it very hard for the setter . also our 17 years old MB (who has a bright future ahead) wasn't just ready for this level in such atmosphere and made so many mistakes. it was like playing in Helsinki ! at some point we had 4 Under-20 players in the court at the same time :facepalm: it's great to use young players but not all of them together and not in middle of a world championship !

 

I just hope wasting this one point doesn't hurt us at the end . one thing is for sure that we need at least 2 wins in next round to stand a chance. which will be very hard since we will get a very tough group.

Netherlands with very bad luck. Looks like they finish third in poule B, which means Poland, Russia and Argentina in the next round. No chance for us against all those three opponents.

Netherlands is going quite well, I think they will have some real chances, although difficult.

Nope. even if France wins in 3 sets, they won't surpass Netherlands in the table. remember the number of win is the first tiebreak and not the points. you will be 3rd only if Canada wins the next 3 sets which is unlikely after being 2 sets down.

Lost to Japan :facepalm:nobody told these idiots all the points are carried to the next round !!!????

No, only the points against the teams that go through to the next round. Argentina will start the second round with 1 win, 2 losses and 2 points.

Oh yes, you're right. Hopefully France will win the match against Canada. Besides that, they need to. Otherwise they take no wins to the second round.

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
