i think it's the other way. i would want thailand to win so they can avoid the relegation shenanigans, and also, I'm not too fond of the japan matchup against the usa. thailand is a core team, they can’t get relegated omg i forget it's another south korea. oh well, good for them. the odds weren't in their favor this tournament. |

In this VNL, the Italian team has shown quite a few difficulties: problems in reception, many "tips" falling in the middle of the court, Nwakalor ineffective from the second line, great difficulty in winning "rallyies" that last a long time and many, many errors in attack and serving. The game against Japan was won with the 23rd and 25th points, the only two times a long "rally" was won. Squarcini had been brought in for her serves but accumulated only errors. D'Odorico for defense and she too did not improve the situation much. I hope Mazzanti took note. (Or that he saw deeper).

(Or that he saw deeper). to go 8-4 without Egonu, Nicoletti, and a few other of his best options was not bad at all. A lot like Serbia last year, these role players really improved throughout VNL and now they really look primed for a run at the Euros |

However, it seems that in the final phase it will be POL - GER USA - JAP TUR - ITA BRA - CHN |

POL - GER
BRA - CHN
USA - JPN
TUR - ITA
This is of course assuming brazil will win against thailand.
