USA really needs to win this match. Not only because of VNL finals, but to make sure they’re in the 3-5 ranking group for the Paris draw so that they can completely avoid Italy and (likely) Poland in their pool.

Any of you just a tad nervous about this match and US chances of getting into the finals?

Unless Korea sweeps the Netherlands, USA will likely need to win in 4. i just checked, i think any win by the USA takes them to at least 7 wins, 21 points, and 27/19 set ratio, which would be higher than anything the Netherlands can get (7 wins, 21 points, 24/18 set ratio).
that being said, it would be kind of funny if both USA and Netherlands lose, sending Canada to the VNL finals.

Any of you just a tad nervous about this match and US chances of getting into the finals? Posted this above, but more nervous about the Paris draw than the finals. So long as the US wins, they’ll stay above China in the rankings regardless of the China-Poland outcome. The US definitely had their struggles last night, but I don’t think Japan is as indomitable of an opponent as Italy. If the US can pass as consistently as they did last night, they should be able to take advantage of Japan's smaller block. My presumptive starters: Cook-Skinner Chiaka-Rettke Carlini-Drews JWO |

That would be such a bittersweet “reward” for Canada 😭 |

World rankings at the end of th preminlary phase of VNL will be used for Paris draw. The finals doesn't matter.
Paris Draw:
A: France, WR#5, WR#6, Kenya
B: WR#1, WR#4, WR#7, DOM
C: WR#2, WR#3, #8, #9
Is the above info correct? Or are they dropping the serpentine system?

It’s a serpentine draw, so think of it more like: Group 1: France, 1, 2 Group 2: 3, 4, 5 Group 3: 6, 7, 8 Group 4: 9, 10, Kenya France is A1, and they’ll be drawing in reverse serpentine order based on group. If I’m correct, they should draw for A4, then B4, then C4, then move on to go placing group 3. The placement isn’t based on exact position, it’s just which group you have your lot drawn with. The US staying at 5 means they can be any of the Pools, but they just won’t have to worry about either Italy or Poland in their pool. Ultimately, the US could end up with France, Netherlands, and Kenya in their group, or they could end up with Turkey, China, and Serbia. The grouping just gives you assurance of who you won’t be seeing. |
