Lol remember how I joked that maybe our players didn't know that all results are carried to next round? Well, it seems they really didn't know! Someone had told them that it was only results against qualified teams!  

 

Even the press secretary of our federation (who also does commentary for the broadcast in our tv) didn't know, and he just realised when I tweeted him telling that (also he got angry because I called him a moron :d).

Would be interesting to see that conversation. :)

Poor Argentina...

 

I predict we lose 3-0 to FRA & POL and 3-1 to SRB  (because somehow we always get a set from them).

Your team will be without pressure now and the will be very tough opponent. Im sure that you will win one point at least :d

Argentina beat USA 4 years ago in the same situation and eliminated USA (and sent Iran to final six instead) so I'm not so sure :d. but this is a bad thing that some teams with 3 defeats are already eliminated even before 2nd round starts.

 

I know this format is no good but at least all teams had to take all matches seriously . and we had some very interesting matches only because of that.

I send you a PM.

 

It was really infuriating to watch the tv and hear this guy saying "well, we lost but it doesn't matter because it won't count and we qualified and it's all positive! lalalala".

I almost punched the screen right there (yes, I have problems when I watch this sport).

 

Anyway, one position more or less in the final ranking... it really doesn't matter, our team is very bad.

it seems we go for final Italy vs USA

I would wait for saying that Italy is going to final. We have faced mid level teams and in some cases we were distracted, so the real test starts now. Only Slovenia, whose level is rising up and up again was nearly a top team ( Giani :bowdown:). Italian team is definitely one with great talent, but what happened right now is just what should have happened. Usually when the ball becomes harder and hotter, Italian teams fail, (especially women’s volleyball team). However, I really hope you are right :champion:

https://www.oasport.it/2018/09/volley-mondiali-2018-cambia-il-regolamento-della-seconda-fase-novita-sulle-seconde-classificate-chi-si-qualifica-alla-final-six/

 

According to OASport, rules for qualifying for Final Six changed in part. In fact, it was previous decided that to qualify at final six were the winners of the four pools of the second phase, plus the best second placed in the Italian part AND the best second placed in Bulgarian part. Now, it looks like that the two best second teams will be qualified to final six, regardless of where they played in the second phase.

FIVB site always said: "The four pool-winning teams of the second stage will access the third stage, together with the top two of the second ranked teams." (http://italy-bulgaria2018.fivb.com/en/competition/formula,and in the picture you can read "1st place + two best 2nd advance"). For me the part that I quoted was media speculation.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
