I think it's mistake to miss Kurek, he is the best polish player. Poland will have problems at 4 zone. However their power in defense now.

@RevanExtasis: He should play as opposite, because in korean league only 1 foreign player possible. But I cannot imagine Simon as oppossite, also it will not be good for his knees.

How many people here working on bets?

@przemek16: Thank you for organazing this game! It was interesting to play.
Congradulations to vtnklmdc and MrMxyzptlk, he was first almostly whole game.
Finally I got top5 ?

Finals
Iran - Italy > 2-3
USA - Brazil > 3-2

Brazil was happy to lose against Iran, so they stoped Russia to final. Iran made a lot of errors, but Brazil made more.
Poor Russia team, bad schedule, just some mistakes decided game against Brazil, because players were tired.

Spiridonov again on the scene ?
Zaytsev too early got strong serve - next match he will has difficulties, USA done wisely to save emotions.

Russia still the best for the game level, however I think Usa could win title, they should have good spirit after hard game against Serbia.
Also Brazil still favorite, they may improve their game in finals.

@raylight: He was trying to set fast, but always the same balls: in 4 zone always on the antenna, second play always on Sokolov in 2 zone. If 1 set it was worked, but 2 set blockers read it very easy.

@raylight: I've heard that Bratoev on rest before WCH. Current setter doing always the same, this is easy to read for blockers

Anyone knows:
- Has been Brazil staying in Europe the time after game against Poland?
- Also will Zaytsev play for Italy against Brasil?

Nimir - 7 points, quite well for setter and he even didn't play whole game.
