Do you know the reason why Tunisian team underperformed yesterday against Chile? I thought they were going to win the tournament easily.

May be they underestimated Chile I was also waiting for them to win but I was shocked to see them lose. Even with the victory the chances are low to qualify .
It could happen in case of 3 conditions are met:
- First hope for 3-1 or 3-2 in the  v  !
- Beat at home   which won't be easy at all !
- Wait for a gift from   v   which is really complicated

Well, Chile won a set against Brazil A team last year and I have seen both Chile and Tunisia play vs Argentina recently and to me Chile was stronger. They have two good attacking players (Gevert and Bonacic) that neither Tunisia or Mexico seem to have. Still, Mexico is favorite at home.

 

Edit: Though Gevert seems to be injured for this tournament.

Tunisia's best chance is probably hope for a Mexico win today, and beat them tomorrow 3-0. Chile won't lose to Algeria, I think.

Based on what I saw in yesterday's matches, I think Chile will win today - but, of course, Mexico counts with the crowd, and this can help them to achieve a victory.

In the end, I think the local factor helped Mexico overcome an amazing Chilean side... I'm impressed, I think Chile is growing a lot while Mexico is going once again down, unless they do some serious work from youth level.

Mexico won 3-1.

 

Now with 2 sets vs Tunisia they go to olympics.

25-16 Canada in the first set against China. Very impressive first set from the Canadian team, they seem determined to put as much presure as possible on Australia.
