I am pretty sure they lost to Iran to kick the Russians out, you just need to read their manager's prematch talk when he predicted Iran was going to win! Nonetheless, it is a great achievement for Iran to be here. I think in a good day when we are also rested and have our full team, we are at the same level that the US team is. The good news is, there are plenty of matches ongoing in volleyball. Our team is young, and will only get better.
the more we play them the more we will have confidence
