    Marouf and Ghaffoor playing well, otherwise a pretty bad 2nd set from Iran. All tied at 1-1. I lost count of how many serves were hit straight into the net.

      Holy shit, playing amazing in the middle of the 3rd set. Some bad serves at the beginning again, but the boys are getting it together

                Woooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo! Iran win the 4th, 37-35. 2-2

                Ghafour definitely MVP of the game so far. Not impressed with Mousavi at all, but I hope he does better in the 5th set.

                  So what is this match for? What happens if Iran wins or loses?

                    TM threw away a 5-1 lead in the 5th set to lose the set 15-8, but overall a very well fought game and GREAT performance from TM. I think the boys got a little too cocky after that 4th set win and going up 5-1 in the 5th set, Russia got a few easy points in a row and it was really to come back from that.

                    Nonetheless, very proud of TM and looking forward to our game against Brazil and meeting Russia again in the Final.

                      Does the fact that we won 2 sets help us in the standing?

                        This is the final round with 2 groups of 3 Ozone jaan. The top 2 finishers in each group will criss cross the other group to play the semis and the rest is like the football WC with the final and 3rd placed team.

                        So, Russia will play Brazil tomorrow and we'll play Brazil the day after and we'll have to beat them to go through to the semis, which I almost have no doubt we will.

                        Yes, we get 1 point from the game and at the same time took 1 away from Russia - who get 2 points instead of 3. This of course helps our standing right now as 1 point is better than 0. But we still have to beat Brazil because if we lost to them 3-2 (and the lost to Russia 3-0 or 3-1) we'd be tied with two points each, but the next tie-breaker is matches won.

                              if Brazil beats Russia tomorrow 3-0 or 3-1 (not impossible Russia is probably tired for tomorrow) they may lose intentionally to Iran to eliminate Russia, things like that happen a lot in volleyball.
