(unless they changed the rules) The rules were you can't face a team from your pool (USA and Canada were both A) unless it was the third seed (which was Puerto Rico) |

Mexico loses the first set to the Boricuas 22-25. Come on Bricio! You deserve another World Championship appearance  |

A 3-2 loss will keep Puerto Rico in the World Championships via World Ranking. If Mexico loses, they're out regardless. If Mexico beats PR and Canada, Canada would be borderline. |

With the new ranking system would PR losing to Canada and Mexico drop their world rankings (and possible affect their chances of getting into WC)? I am not sure who I want Canada to play? I think it makes more sense to play PR again? Bricio scares me. 😟 I think I want Mexico to win this set though! Doesn’t anyone want to see Canada at WC?😁 |

Canada COULD make it with a loss in their next match, Mexico must win. Remember, PR did beat USA. That kept their World ranking up enough even with taking two losses. |

Is that the Evansville Head Coach for Puerto Rico? I guess Evansville doesn't mind since he's bringing all the Puerto Rican talent to the team.

Honestly, the Pan Am cup is going to screw over whichever team doesn't make the AQ spot (unless its Mexico)
Mexico can't get a ranking spot.
Puerto Rico looks pretty good for a spot... honestly Canada might too. The three Euro squads getting AQs (Serbia, Dutch, Poland) help. If turkey and Italy can claim the AQs... that's even better

Currently, Puerto Rico is 16, Canada is 18, and Mexico 25. As long as Canada makes it in, I’m happy if all 5 of these NORCECA teams make it in. What‘a the best scenario for this to happen? |

If turkey and Italy can claim the AQs... that's even better Italy would have to get past Russia and tbh I think that's a tossup, even though it was a sweep for Italy at the Olympics I wonder if Mexico qualifying for the World Championships would have any implication on wether or not Parra would make this her last year at Texas? I know there were rumors of this being her last season |
