Despite the efforts of the referee, China managed to prevail. Italy deserved to be eliminated. Italy made the starting squad play too long against Russia and they are already too old;so fresh China crushed them in the beginning. Then, Italy gambled and played with two opposites, risking the reception with two players. This was just desperation. At this level, you can not play with a very low blocking setter and you can not receive with two players. China had no problems in attacking at all.
Yeah. Playing 3 games Friday/Saturday semi-final/Sunday final, really? I can not believe how naive Brazil and Italy was.
Imagine if Dominican Republic if winning in 3-2 vs Brazil could reach the semi-finals, that would be 4 straight games. And who can do that? Besides being not fair is really dumb.
