2014 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship

Iran will advance BUT they need to advance in style!


The results and the points of the matches between the same teams that were already played during the First Round shall be taken into account for the Second Round.
The top three teams in each pool will qualify for the Third Round.


so irans last 2 games could be pretty meaningsless no matter result, kovac might use more players

wow france is playing good again. if usa lose 3-1 they will be in deep trouble and prob not reach semi

[Ab-Gosht]

france win 3-1. iran will need italy to beat france or else france is set to take 1of the 3 spots, poland is also set for 1. which means iran, usa,italy, serbia, arg with velasco, all have 1 spot left to fight for

Can you give more explanation about the second round? How do the the results of the first round count?
Thanks.

^ And shouldn't Iran be in a good spot if we win the remaining matches? I mean, only one loss, that gotta be good, right?

If iran win belgium and crika, those wins will count 0p in next round.

only matches vs teams that advance will count. so iran got 0p from france and only 2p vs usa so iran has lost 4p already. france so far has only lost 2p. usa has lost 5p! Italy has lost 4p

volleyball gives 3p if you win 3-0 or 3-2, but only 2p if you win 3-2, and 1p if u lose 2-3

^^ Comparing with other teams, it doesn't sound like the worst scenario ever though they threw away 1 moft point against USA!
