[PSGman#19]

It is about time we beat some top teams more often. We lost against them 9 times out of 10.

[Irannn]

it was very disappointing losing against Russia reserve team.

it was a very long summer and we played with our main team from start to finish. no long term plan. and now our players are tired, injured. not-motivated.

World Cup has no prestige anymore but it has valuable ranking points, even if we can't medal (which we can't) we have to collect wins as much as possible. even a 6th-7th place will help our ranking.

[Irannn]

new low for our volleyball. as we lost to Egypt

that's hard to believe but this is the worst Iran in past 10 years. they are tired, injured. not motivated.
I think we better not follow the rest of the competition.

I find it hard to believe that Iran is taking this tournament seriously.

And I understand it, because this team has been very busy the past few months playing in tournament after tournament.

But if they are doing their best and still losing, then that's a problem.

[_Navid_]

This is exactly what happens when you send the same 7 or 8 players to tournament after tournament. They lose motivation and get tired and fatigued. Look at a team like Russia and how they have sent 3 different squads to the past 3 tournaments!

Our volleyball deserves a better coach than this guy.

[GoIran]

Does this World Cup double as the qualification for the Olympics?

[_Navid_]

Does this World Cup double as the qualification for the Olympics?

No. It is only important for rankings.

[tmfan]

Iran beat Canada 3-1.

[Irannn]

Iran beat Canada 3-1.

and did that while playing with bench players. very surprising.

[_Navid_]

Iran 3-1 Australia

Good that the coach finally learnt to play the younger guys with motivation.

[DR Strangemoosh]

I got a ticket for the Iran vs USA game in Hiroshima on Wednesday. am in japan anyway (go there tomorrow) so i thought why not.

Anyone else gonna be there? would be nice to meet up. Never seen volleyball live before. I haven't brought my wig and face paints this time

[DR Strangemoosh]

Am on my way to Hiroshima guys, will try to get some photos if I can

[Nokhodi]

Iran lost 3-1 to the USA.
