On Monday, the third phase of the World Cup started with the Polish national team arcyważnego triumph over the Americans. The Poles won the clash undefeated teams so far 3: 1 (17:25, 25:19, 25:23, 25:15) and became the leader of the struggle. For two rounds before the end of the competition White-Reds have comfort, play still with Japan (Tuesday, hours. 7:15) and Italy (Wednesday, hours. 3:30), but it depends on them, which will take place in the competition and whether ensure their place at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Both targets are very close. First of all, it must be recalled that the promotion for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will have the two best teams of the World Cup. We still have two series games:

10. round (Tuesday, September 22)

• A group, Tokyo: Italy – Argentina (hr. 3:30)

• A group, Tokyo: Japan – Russia (hr. 7:15)

 
     

• A group, Tokyo: USA – Argentina (hr. 10:10)

 
 

A headlamp World Cup table after 9 rounds is as follows (the order is determined by: the number of sustained wins, number of points, the ratio sets the ratio of small dots, direct data match teams):

1. Poland – 9 wins 0 defeats – 26 points

5. Argentina – 7 wins 2 defeats – 20 points

 
     

6. Japan – 4 wins 5 losses – 15 points

 
 

What this implies for the forces of the White and Red? There are three basic scenarios, and everything is in our hands. On the rivals do not have to watch, but matches between them can we make it much easier task.

Scenario I – two victories Poles

White-Reds are dispersed on Tuesday measure will be with Japan, which on Monday lost in three sets against Argentina and not playing quite as well as the beginning of the World Cup. Win over world champions samurai seems to duty, far too will approach our team for the first deposit and basically give us passports Games. Then the end of the World Cup remains one series of games, the Poles will face Italy and every victory with Italy will give them triumph in the World Cup and promotion to the IO.

Scenario II – victory and defeat Poles

If we can win one game, the best would be a victory over Italy on Wednesday, which is a direct rival for promotion to the Olympics. Then we will definitely be in the table by Italiano, and having made one defeat, we will certainly also against Russia and Argentina, which will give our staff an Olympic promotion. The defeat of the Italians can deprive us of victory in the World Cup, but only if the Americans win the two remaining matches to earning maximum points. The win against Japan, but defeat against Italy in five sets give our staff (assuming that the Italians on Tuesday ograją Argentina) not only promoted the games, but also triumph in the World Cup. The defeat 0: 3 or 1: 3 in such a system will make it the Azzurri reach the title, but together with Polish advancing to the Olympics in Rio.

Scenario III – two defeats Poles

It may also happen that our volleyball players lose twice, which may even result in a decrease in third place in the World Cup and the Olympic lack of promotion. A lot will depend on the results of the other games, but certainly before us will be the Italians. Perhaps the Americans. But this is the least likely scenario, seeing the motivation and play our volleyball hard to expect to have destiny in their own hands, the distance field rivals.

One thing is certain, very important for the balance of power at the end of the tournament will be the results of which will reach on Tuesday and Wednesday our rivals. Slip Italians and Americans on Tuesday – Italy will face Argentina, Julio Velasco, the Yankees irritated the Russians – will greatly facilitate us the way to promotion. It may happen, it’s a dream scenario for us – that Argentina beat Italy, the Russians win with the Americans, and our team will win with Japan and on Tuesday White-Reds will be winners like the World Cup. Then the match with Italy on Wednesday will have only a prestigious character.

Polish team has never won a Cup World twice gained the silver medal of these murderous competition – in 1965 and 2011. Now our volleyball players are faced with a historic opportunity to triumph in the World Cup and to finish the tournament unbeaten. World Cup, played under current rules, without defeat ended only two teams in history. In 1995 the art that made the Italians, and in 2003 Brazil. Now, this feat can be repeated the Polish national team.
