Host country: Japan
Kind of surprised that no one has posted Asian Men's Volleyball Championship.
Final is tomorrow between Japan and Iran. Both of these teams are qualified for 2022 World Volleyball Championship.
China and Taipei will play for third place.

Iran 3 Japan 0

We are back to Asia's number one.

Japan 2nd and China 3rd.

We beat Japan at their home with their crowds. That felt great.

Great job to our team. What a young team so we have a great future after our golden players are retiring, the young are making us proud. [emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]

Very impressive performances. Apart from Ebadipour the rest of the team are 21-23 years old. This 2nd golden generation will be the backbone of TM for the next 10 years.

Nice, payback for the olympics. Revenge in sports always feel good.

What drives me crazy is that during big tournaments we lose easily to teams like Japan, in olympic we did as well as world league. Why is it when it matters we tank?

Nevertheless congrats to the championship.

Saber Kazemi, what a player, only 22 and he is already a star.

We let the older players dominate the squad and they couldn't deliver when it matters. I love guys like Maaroof, but he proved that he does not have the leadership and capacity to captain a team when they're struggling.
Otherwise in terms of development and scouting we have a consistent system now that churns out really good players.
