First go at creating an event thread, so I figured I'd bring out my ratchet skills with an event that not many people will care about. hahaha

So glad someone made a thread for this!
Devastated Korea's missed this tournament, especially since it's the last one before they change the VNL format 😭

Also it's bullsh*t that China is here because they're hosting AND they get the lowest ranked team for the opening round.

Does anyone know if Plotnitskyi retired from national team duties or if he's just taking the summer away from it?

I like Belgian’s chances in this tourney. Maybe Ukraine if Plotnitskyi is with the team. Here goes the king Reggers!

I am still so heart broken for them in the Olympic Qualifer. They were so so close to be in Paris. |

Mexico started strong and lead as much as 5 but lost the 1st set.

This Belgium 🇧🇪 setter is not good. Is he the same setter that almost got them to Paris?

Why is this a replay? The ball didn't touch the antenna and was very clearly in?
It should be point Croatia.
