This is lame and I’ll only say this once and never mention it again, but the entire Iran team is astonishingly and distractingly good looking. I’ve never seen a more collectively handsome group of people. In my life, I'd say that Iranians in the 17-26 year old bracket have been astonishingly good looking. The ol' metaphor of the flower blossoming in its prime is apt. My old boss (an Iranian) was one of them. In his 40s and even way past his prime, all the women in the office used to drool over him. His facebook photo is from his early 20s days and he looked like a cross between John F. Kennedy Jr (the son who died in the plane crash) and George Clooney. And then there were all the Iranian women I used to have crushes on. Oy vey and holy ####! But after age 26, they nose dive pretty rapidly, much like White people.

I'm excited for USA vs Brazil. I was kind of surprised that the Russians beat the Brazilians 3-0. This gives me some hope that the USA can take at least one set.

Canada wins set two 25-22 😬 got pretty close as the Canadians went like 3/4 of the set without getting many block touches on the Venezuelans

Canada scores the sweep. They held Venezuela to 47 points so that might come into play depending on how the rest of the pool shapes out. Onto Poland, I hope the Canadians will bring their very best against them. They’ll need to serve tough and not allow Leon to get on any runs

If anyone wants Maximum Chaos™
The following results will mean that 5-way tie occurs in Pool A with an overall record of 3-2:
Iran beats Italy Canada beats Poland Italy beats Venezuela Poland beats Japan Japan beats Iran
I mean, none of those results are completely unrealistic.

I definitely wouldn’t put money on my Canadians to beat Poland 😳. Any way the Maple Volleys make it to quarter-finals if they lose badly against them?

By my math, if both Iran and Japan get swept tonight, Canada will have already clinched a Quarterfinal spot regardless of what happens with Poland. Another situation, if Japan/Iran don't take any points, but both lose 1-3, the only way Canada wouldn't qualify is if Canada gets swept, Iran beats Japan 3-2 and wins a sets/points ratio tiebreaker with Canada.
