How the f did we lose last set at 20-17 up ?😂

As noted before, 3 of Iran’s players won’t be allowed to attend the VNL round 3 games in the US.

The us coach specifically apologized about it, even though it’s not his fault.

[Nokhodi]

Should also add our youth team is playing senior men’s teams in the central Asian volleyball league and doing very well.

I guess we're not having high hopes for this team in the current tournament? Haven't been following, that's why I'm asking.

No. Intent of this tournament has been preparing a young team for the Olympic qualifiers.

We have to get better than Japan. End of story.

Japan is currently leader of VNL, they are on a beast mode.

I don’t know how often it has to be said this team is rebuilding and that everything is being planned such that TM hopefully qualifies for the Olympics.

Ataei is an excellent coach. He has a world championship at youth level.

That doesn’t sound good at all. What do you mean with hopefully? The goal needs to be a top 4 finish at olympics, not ”hopefully qualifying”.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said that last year was the rebuilding. Players like Amin,Jelveh, Esfandiar etc had their first VNL last year and we still managed to beat USA 3-0, Poland (in Poland) 3-2, Serbia 3-0 & Slovenia 3-0.

You expect us to not expect more this year when those players i mentioned have even more experience?

Ataei is slowling killing this team. Unless we qualify for QF in this years VNL, he needs to get out.

How have we lost ffs ? We crumbled so easy this game

[dcfcfan1]

We should have beaten this Netherlands team

[peiman92]

This team is an absolute embarrasment. Just fly straight to USA for the 3rd week and don’t come back to Iran.

doesnt two asian teams qualify?

Only one guaranteed.

There will be three pools where the winner and runner up qualify directly.
then the highest ranked teams with emphasis on continents that don’t have a qualified team yet.

Japan is in an easy pool and will likely finish 2nd behind the US.

Iran is in a tough group and will fight for the 2nd spot.

all sorts of permutations will come into play but they’ve basically made a system to allow as many European teams as possible.

What are the groups?

[dcfcfan1]

Im reading about the qualification and Im confused as fuck, no idea what happens if we come 3rd behind germany or 4th behind italy?

As mentioned before 3 of Iran’s players were not granted visas by the states, along with one coach.

FIVB is trying to force the states to let the excluded players and staff join, but if not, none of Iran’s marches in the final stage will count for anything in terms of points.
