USA and Canada both beating Mexico is very possible/likely and then will set up the very possible (not likely) scenario:
US beats France.
Brazil beats Italy.
Canada beats Italy.
France beats Brazil.
All five end up 3-2.
Then those 5 set wins (none so far) are going to haunt you when it comes to Pool points.
If no 5 set matches... then games won/loss ratio (and losing sets to Mexico starts to haunt you).
And if the last 2 remaining of the 5 teams have identical game records.... points ratio (not head to head).
Can you imagine going 3-2 in the Olympics and not making it to the medal round.
