Poule A - Japan, Netherlands, Dominican Rep, Germany, Cameroon, Cuba

Poule B - China, Italy, Korea, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico

Poule C - USA, Russia, Argentina, Thailand, Kazachstan, Kenya

Poule D - Serbia, Brazil, Turkey, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Trinidad

 

According to the Russian Volleyball Federation.

Poule A, B and C quite similar, poule D group of death!

 

I don't think it is group of dead. Serbia and Brazil are too strong for Azerbaijan, Turkey and Bulgaria.  Maybe it is group of dead for Trinidad

Imo group A is very interesting. Dominican Republic will be really good next year. They have great players. Germany was bad this year, but no way that they will be bad like this next year. Cuba has very talented team. We will see next year.

 

C is weakest. Argentina with nice chance for next round

FORMULA:

The 24 teams have been divided into four pools of six teams playing in a Round Robin system with the top four teams in each pool advancing to the second round. The 16 teams will be split into two pools of eight (Pool A and D four best teams in one group, and  Pool C and B four best teams in the other one).

The top three teams in each of the two second round pools will advance to the third round. The four winners will be placed in the two pools with the second and third-placed teams drawn. The round will consist of a Round Robin system with the top two teams in each pool advancing to the semifinals. A 5thrank match will take place on the same day as semifinals. The 103rd and last match of the tournament will be the final.

Well, Group C is definitely the weakest. The rest are pretty balanced.

I think that A is weakest

Easy group for us. Fight for the first place with Serbia.

Maja Ognjenovic on the player's list for WC. We are now at least 30% stronger. Serbia really had problems with setters this year.
