Belgium beat Croatia 3-1 and eliminated them in the process.
Next up is Azerbaijan vs. Bulgaria (Eliminated). If Bulgaria wins then Azerbaijan too is likely out.
If that happens then we could see Poland and Netherlands use their benches later today. Poland still have Azerbaijan to play tomorrow so they might not want to surrender to the Dutch so easily.

If Kenya wins vs. Nigeria (which I expect them to) they officially win the CAVB berth!
AVC Semi-Finals look like this:
Thailand vs. Kazakhstan Korea vs. Chinese Taipei
Colombia vs. Argentina today is for the CSV berth! Who you got? I honestly would love Colombia to win.

Bulgaria likely eliminated Azerbaijan earlier 3-1.
Poland vs. Netherlands starting now!
Both teams starting their strongest lineup.
Should be good!

Poland take set 1 25-20. Poland’s block taking over. I think they have one of the tallest blocks in the international game.
I’ll be back. I’m gonna skip over to the men’s CEV action to watch Bulgaria take on Germany in the semi’s!

Thanks for all the updates! I am looking forward to Canada vs Puerto Rico on Friday! Me too. Extremely unlikely that the Canada/PR loser will qualify for the Olympics, so we’ll know if it’s a heated DR/PR match for a bid to Tokyo or if the Canada/DR match will be a decider. Despite Canada’s recent surge — I think Santana will lead PR to a win. Santana will help strengthen PR. Her last match with Il Bisonte, I think, was one of her strongest to date (in recent times), and that will help her confidence. However, she hasn't been with the PR team for awhile, so it will be interesting to see if she will be the impact player she was against Canada a couple of years ago. Canada will still miss Bailey at OH2. I am hoping Mitrovic will have a chance to step up.They'll need to have strong matches utilizing the middles, and their newest setter, King, should be improved playing pro in Germany this season. I have to go with Canada over PR! : ) Edit: Looks like Santana is having no trouble getting back into the swing of things for Puerto Rico. fedpurvoli.com/2020/01/04/puerto-rico-vence-a-peru-en-el-cierre-de-la-serie-amistosa/gopurpleaces.com/news/2020/1/7/volleyball-fernando-morales-working-with-puerto-rico-national-team.aspxIt was smart to get a friendly in with Peru as a warm-up! I wish Canada could have done something similar. PR has been working together since Dec. 16, whereas the Canadians met in Georgia on the 26th/27th. PR with the advantage, I'd say. Canada will have a challenge on their hands.

Tickets are sold out for the final day of the NORCECA’s. Good stuff! This (to my knowledge) will be the most attended volleyball match in Dominican Republic’s history — because they are playing in the “Palace” which has an upper level and about double the capacity (10,000+) of where they normally host volleyball events.

Colombia / Argentina is live. Anyone have a better stream than what i’m getting on Facebook? It could be a poor WIFI issue though on my part
