25-21, 25-21, 25-14, what a match

Good match for Peru yesterday, I was rooting for their qualification, but this time simply is not possible. I think they are improving and maybe can qualify in 2020. If only they were taking part in the other qualifier...

 

Top 4 pretty much decided unless Thailand does extremely well in the remaining two matches (and Japan doesn't).

South Korea lost to Thailand, but is the first nation from the tournament to confirm a spot in Rio.

What an INSANE win by thailand, and they put Japan in a bad predicament.

 

Thailand's last game is against Peru who will probably be out at that point, Japan still have to play against 2 european teams, but even if japan loses twice it's enough for them to lose 2-3 one time. Italy and Netherlands also sure seems to qualify so really seems like Japan or Thailand for the last spot (and what a miss by thailand after the previous loss to japan)

Damn, I should have been awake for some live bet on Thailand when Korea was 2-0 up...that was a little predictable..

Netherlands won the first set, they're going to the Olympics after 20 years

Yes, finally! Fucking finally they did it

The best thing is they only started celebrating after the 2nd set (it was already sure after the 1st)
