Poland looks very good offensively, taking set one 25-22. Japan was actually keeping up, but not enough scoring on serve.

Poland's physicality was just too much for Japan. For a second there I thought Japan was going to push it to more sets, but Poland stepped it up thanks to some great serving.
As I expected, the Iran-Japan matchup is going to be huge. I won't watch Italy-Iran live this morning, but I think Japan has a good chance against Iran. Japan's serving looked less error prone compared to the Canada game, which is good. Block + D could use some fine tuning, but there's only so much you can do against Poland. I think Japan needs more contribution from the players not named Ishikawa and Nishida, and that X-factor in the Iran matchup may end up being Takahashi (assuming they start him, which they should IMO).

Iran is down 2-1 to Italy right now. If they can’t win the 4th set, Canada (and Italy) qualifies for the Knockouts.
The Japan-Iran winner would go through.

Thank you Italy! Now Japan and Iran have to fight it out for the last QF spot, which is funny because they’ll be fighting for third in the pool unless Canada upsets Poland

Also, moving forward Italy should just be starting Vettori. Zaytzev has yet to have a great game (he really only played well against Japan) and i don’t think he’s in a condition to bring what an opposite should be bringing.
