definitely an accommodation and I’m glad they allowed this for Iran Curious why you’re glad? I only ask because if this effected who ended up relegated I might be more bothered. I don’t think that’ll happen but also haven’t looked at the potential outcomes after this week that closely. well for one thing it's not a situation that USAV, the Iranian volleyball federation, or FIVB can control; it's a decision that was made for them by overarching political bodies regarding the point made above ^ about Iran not reaching deeper into their 30 person roster I'd have to think they couldn't for some reason and could only bring 10 with no head coach...which is a very tough position to be in

Why is Scanferla not at least the backup lib of choice for Italy? His floor defense isn't as good as Balaso, but his service reception feels better than at least Picinelli. I know he's young, but I do also wish Laurenzano got some play time this VNL, especially considering what's going on with Fiodorov in Russia.

First Set: Italy lost on errors with 6 of their 7 errors coming from serves.
Second Set: Italy continued putting pressure on the serve and it worked. Lucarelli was targeted and didn't handle it well.
Third Set: Roque started as opposite. Flavio and Judson started as middles. Looks like it worked. 9-9 now.
Roque is sooooo tall 😆 Honorato is the team's best scorer.

CRAZY!
The 15,000-capacity Mall of Asia Arena is almost full for the Japan-China match. Apparently, Ran Takahashi has a big fanbase in the Philippines. It's a non-holiday weekday there.

China's blocking and serving working well. Ran was taken out, Otsuka in.

Wow China and Japan going 5?!?! Didn't have that on my bingo card. Can't wait to watch that replay.
Gaining an additional point means China is fairly close to being safe, right?? Still want to see them beat Canada to solidify themselves.
