2014 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship

[O-ZoNe]

We play two games, one against Germany, and one against France. Top two teams advance to next round. If we become 3rd, we will play nr 3 from the other group to determine 5th and 6th place in the tournament. If we finish 2nd, we will play nr. 1 from the other group in the semifinal, to determine who will go to the final, and if we finish nr. 1 in our group, we will play nr. 2 from the other group in the semifinal for the same cause, to reach the final.

This is straight head to head now. No more of this points from previous opponents being carried over? So I know France well, but what's this German team like? Have we ever beaten them?

Iran vs germany in world league 2013. iran won 1 germany won 1. Iran is favourite to beat germany 3-1 in sets. Serbia is slightly better than germany. however germany has hit its form perfectly and is playing their very best right now...

Technically, yeah :P But let's not jinx it

[Sharkie]

We control our destiny. We've played very well throughout the tournament. Hopefully, TM can weather the storm and play to their game plan. If they do, we'll be very successful. I'm proud of their accomplishment so far but we can make history!

If we win this world cup, we go straight to the 2016 Olympics, otherwise it's qualification, through a Asian competition I think. This Asian Games you link to should be useless.

[FF187]

France Germany gonna be interesting... If Germany wins it the whole group will get new dynamics!

[Masoud_A]

Germany has won 42 straight sets if I'm not mistaken.

Germany has won 42 straight sets if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think that's right. I am pretty sure they lost 3-0 to Russia in the last round.
