How did they lose that set?  

 

Too bad. At least we saved energy for tomorrow.

 

Our substitute libero is just TERRIBLE, I think the poor kid hasn't defended a single ball in all championship. Don't know he gets to play so many points. 

Argentina has the best coach in the world. What they lack i think are young talent players so as coach to develop them

ARG won u23 wch last year and made final of u19 and u21 in 2015.

 

I think the problem is rather the lack of a reliable attacker. Someone you give the ball and know he will score almost all times.

 Netherlands beat Finland 3:1. Good job!
Now we "only" have to win against  tomorrow and we will qualify for the Final Six

well if Russia beat Italy tonight, you can't finish higher than 3rd place (assuming Russia will beat Finland)  and even beating Italy won't be enough for you.

Poland with second squad..

I hoped the US would play with some reserves, but sadly they are going full force..

If USA beats Bulgaria, and Canada beats Bulgaria, does Canada have a chance to go the final 6?

You also need Russia to lose both matches (unlikely given they play Finland tomorrow) + Netherlands losing to Italy (not that unlikely) + Slovenia losing to both Brazil and Australia (unlikely) + Belgium losing to Brazil (not unlikely).

 

So, 4 conditions out of which 2 are really difficult.

If all that happens, its like winning the lottery, ie not happening

Yeah, things are over for us.. The US are the strongest team i have seen this tournament. I knew that damn loss to Iran would cost us top 6..
