Pool A Serbia vs Brazil 07/31 2:25 AM CST

I don't know if this match really matters. No way at this point to predict who is going to be #4 Pool B, it's very realistic it could be Turkey, Russia, OR USA! (Mathematically, it could even be Italy, but that is THE most unlikely scenario).

Turkey is the most likely only because they are guaranteed to be #4 with a loss tomorrow.

Oof I just thought about it, but the US struggled to pass Voronkova’s serve today, just imagine how Bosko’s will do against them. I really hope this match is good lol

Why do you think Turkey's loss is guaranteed tomorrow? It hasn't happened yet.

That's not what it says. It says guaranteed to be #4 *with* a loss. That means, if they lose, they will guaranteed be #4. You can't say that for Russia or USA.

That's why it's the most likely, as I said. But still, it's wide open for who could be #4 Pool B. But mathematically, not speaking to the level of anyone's play, Turkey is the most likely to be #4.

No Macris, but Tandara is back on the floor.

I think this is a smart lineup for Terzic. I wouldn't mind seeing Brankica/Blagojevic split time if necessary as well. Give them balls and chances, don't just abuse Boskovic.

Oh gotcha, thanks! 
It looks like it's Tandara vs Boskovic now in the game lol

So they've called throws all tournament and aren't going to call that from Fe Garay? wowza

Lol Serbia looks kinda nonchalant. I wonder if they’re tossing, Terzic isn’t even yelling or looks that annoyed

So if they toss means they're avoiding Turkey, since they'll most likely to be the 4th. Why would Serbia avoid Turkey?

Slept through the first set and just woke up. Looks like I didn’t miss much

Welllllll Serbia looks bad. Brazil looks good. Brazil on there way to go u0”p 2-0

Absolutely nothing going Serbia’s way. They can’t serve in. Rasic has missed on 2 overpasses, unlucky tape bounces, and Roberta is locating her hitters excellently

[Deleted]

Serve the damn ball in Serbia Jesus

I’m sorry maja that’s unacceptable that you didn’t dig that ball. Tied at 19s
