2016 Olympics Volleyball Qualification Tournament

[Narse]

holy crap that commentator was bad. He literally said 'unfortunately' Japan lost...

these anglosaxons are always against iran!

[AIrani]

This is the Iranian assistant who was in the stands with the Japanese team.
He spent several years next to Velasco and was a past Iranian national vball player.

He def gave them a lot of inside info which is why Iran was sort of troubled but won anyways.

good to know. Japan is an honorable but tarsoo country.

[AIrani]

China is playing simple but efficient volleyball. Watching their games, they are playing better than Iran.

If one Asian team will go to Olympic which is bias written in the order of teams, then Iran China game is Do or Die for either team. If four top teams can go to Olympics, then Iran will qualify. The rules were written vague and Iran has already complained but other Asian teams have not said anything.

Iran did not play well against Japan. Players made simple mistakes which will be costly against China.

The game with China will be close and can go either way. It might go to set five.

As of right now both China and Iran will qualify for Olympics.

we can beat china, i believe it, plus our last 2 game beside china , is easier Poland and Valenzuela. we have to win today

[Bessos]

Just one more game, and we have made history.

A 3-2 win against China should be enough to put us 99% (in case I'm missing something) into the olympics for the first time in history.

Yes. Any win over China, Iran will qualify.

I did not know top four regardless of Asian teams can qualify, in that case, even Iran loses to China has a chance to be # 4.

[Bijans]

Our game today is the most important game. If we win against China I believe we are qualified to the Olympics as the best Asian Team

[persian-eagle-13]

Yes, regardless of what happens in other games or the standing we have beat 2 of the 3 Asian teams. if we beat china we are through to Rio

France 3-1 Australia

(25-22; 25-18; 16-25; 44-42)

Damn that last set must have been thrilling.

[Ab-Gosht]

France 3-1 Australia

(25-22; 25-18; 16-25; 44-42)

Damn that last set must have been thrilling.

i watched it. never seen volleyball played so fast. they started the next ball before 1st ball was finished basically. no rallies either just serve and then spike and next ball again same.

good to know. Japan is an honorable but tarsoo country.

Why tarsoo??

[babak_iran]

We didn't play well against Japan. We made too many simple mistakes. We need to play much better against China. If we beat China we will go through. We will beat Venezuela but probably lose to Poland. Today's game vs. China is our most important.

[04041374]

It comes down to the amount of victories, then the amount of points.

If we win against China and get 3 points (3:0 or 3:1) we will be 4 points ahead of them and could advance with a 3-2 victory against Venezuela.
