Cuba won over Chile. Cuba basically controlled the entire game.

Korea and Australia now playing.
Korea is using their first name as well in their jersey.

Korea finished the job off in 5 sets, 15-13 in the fifth! Is that considered an upset? And what does that mean to Australia? |

Korea finished the job off in 5 sets, 15-13 in the fifth! Is that considered an upset? And what does that mean to Australia? I’d say so. And now there’s no way for Australia to get back to the VNL for 2023. Korea moves onto the semis and has to win two more to get in. |

No Australia in next year's VNL. They should use this to make themselves better,

But I’m sure Australia has taken huge hits in the rankings due to all the losses at VNL in the past couple years |

Oh, Australia. I didn't think they'd win the Challenger Cup but hate to see them go out in the quarterfinals.
They have so much rebuilding to do. Too many pins have left over the years. They really need to build around Pope. No other OHs are stepping up. I like Senica, but he's not the answer. They need at least two more solid OHs (one who's a solid passer/defender; another who is great OOS) to go along with Pope. I like Heptinstall at OPP (great server, plays good defense); he'll grow into his offensive role, but Australia doesn't have an Edgar-like back-up for him. Someone who will just rip on the ball.
With Dosanjh + Perry + their middles, they could be a good mid-level team, but they need the consistent pin presence to compete.

Czech Republic won over Tunisia. I was kinda rooting for Tunisia but Czech Republic did really well. Not sure if they can beat Cuba.
