From what I can understand from our team, during the tournament someone (I assume some FIVB officer or FEVA officer) told them otherwise. As I told before, during the match the press officer from FEVA (who has direct communication with players) was doing commentary in our tv and he spoke as if the match didn't matter beyond winning 2 sets. Then I tweeted to this guy who in turn (after getting angry with me) messaged the players and said that they were in "bewilderment" about this. 
If this was all fake, then they are very good actors tbh.
 
Ps. Luciano de Cecco blocked me on  Twitter because of this loooool. I can't believe a player of his status would be so touchy about some random comments on social media.

Yes, i'm in.

I send you a PM.
 
It was really infuriating to watch the tv and hear this guy saying "well, we lost but it doesn't matter because it won't count and we qualified and it's all positive! lalalala".
I almost punched the screen right there (yes, I have problems when I watch this sport).
 
Anyway, one position more or less in the final ranking... it really doesn't matter, our team is very bad.
 
 

Lol remember how I joked that maybe our players didn't know that all results are carried to next round? Well, it seems they really didn't know! Someone had told them that it was only results against qualified teams!  
 
Even the press secretary of our federation (who also does commentary for the broadcast in our tv) didn't know, and he just realised when I tweeted him telling that (also he got angry because I called him a moron ).

Of course, this is the worst result for me  I wanted either ARG to win 3-0 or 3-1 so I would just be happy or SLO to win 3-2 because that was my prediction  we have a saying for these situations: "without bread and without the cake".

Argentina released the team list today (I won't post it cuz it's too long and nobody here is really interested in it ).
We'll have 141 athletes participating in all sports except for Acrobatic Gymnastics and Diving.
 
The flag bearer will be Dante Cittadini (sailing, Nacra 15). IMO a bit unfair that his girl partner with whom he has won many titles recently isn't also picked as "joint-flag bearer", but whatever, our NOC aren't the brightest minds...

Two questions:
What would have happened if there was rainy weather in Rome today? 
Why all the other teams must wait 3 days to play their first match??

Yes, we get it, India is good. We realised by the 24th post you made about it.

Botswana should have won. Of those 4 it's currently the most stable country.

Typical local right winger, wave argentinian flags in protests because they "defend the republic" but then are the first ones that want out of the country 

Well, if they didn't care there is nothing to do. The USA roster was a complete joke, I think it can not even be called their D team.

Fiji is out, only one team from Oceania advances. 
 
Anyway, Vanuatu will probably withdraw later due to lack of funds, as is tradition of pacific islands in hockey. 

Highest ranked team that finished 3rd in one of the tournaments. Likely an european team.

Following these games got me hyped for pan ams next year.
 
Then I remember we'll probably have even less streaming than this and I get sad again.
