VolleyRuller96 264 Posted June 15, 2019 #311 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The level of competetiveness is unfortunately much lower than at the male World Cup. I think 24 teams are too many, should be 16 at most. thepharoah 1 My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

heywoodu 13,499 Posted June 15, 2019 #312 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Vivianne Miedema, only 22 years old, has just scored her 59th goal for the Netherlands and is now tied for the position of all-time top goalscorer (with Manon Melis) Monzanator 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 15, 2019 #313 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Miedema with her second and it's 3-1. Dutch still commit too many defensive mistakes to have a real shot at the medal round IMO but maybe the offensive power carries them through?

Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 15, 2019 #315 Share Posted June 15, 2019 New Zealand beat England a week before the World Cup. They're unable to do anything on offense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepharoah 2,264 Posted June 15, 2019 #316 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Friendlies don't always matter , btw England isn't in their best shape , they had some tough times against Scotland and Argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 15, 2019 #317 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yeah, but they beat Norway in April too. However they've been absolutely toothless here. Canada wins 2-0. First time they score 2 goals in a single finals game since 2007. I wouldn't be surprised much if Cameroon beats New Zealand too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that a 16 team World Cup likely means Europe will be squeezed even more, the reduction would probably be 3 Europeans, 2 Asians and 1 Africa, South America and CONCACAF.

Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 15, 2019 #319 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The level is going up, let's be honest North Korea will be back in four years once they became seeded in Asia again and I have no idea how Jamaica outqualified Mexico in first place? The big issue is CONMEBOL because Brazil is getting way too old and there's nobody coming through from that continent. Argentina seems to have improved but other than that it's pretty dire down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted June 15, 2019 #320 Share Posted June 15, 2019 That's true, Thailand is only here because North Korea is still recovering from its aftermath from its suspension while Mexico (and even Costa Rica) is a lot better than Jamaica, but in qualification anything can happen. Africa is also a weak link, not sure why they got three spots while South America only has 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
