Italy won 3-0 Iran gave young boys like Ghara , Ebdipour ,Tashakori a chance in 3th set and replaced Mahvadi with Marouf .

6 losses out of the last 7 games, only one win against Brasil which was probably staged anyway. Our coach worries me. Iran is playing so predictable, doing the same thing over and over and over.

Our boys lost their hunger for wins after Brazil win. They looked un-motivated. Hopefully they can achieve more next year.

We are proud of them.

this was exactly the stage we needed Valasco as the headcoach, i am sure if he was our coach we would have atleast has a bronze medal today.

kovac is good coach but still a young coach and he is still learning the game too

What goes around comes around. Iran tried to eliminate Brazil by loosing to Poland. Iran got last in final stage and Brazil advanced to final .Nevertheless, great job by Iranian national team. "Khasteh nabashid"

With Vlasco we finished 9th last year

Don't get we wrong we owe a lot to Vlasco but Kovac has achieved better results in such a short time

but this was Valasco's team, do you honestly think that Kovac was the x factor!! he took over this team that was hand picked and breeded by valasco for 3 years.

is it not this is kovac's first head coaching experience at national level?

This is Vlasco team . Kovac did some rookie coaching mistakes according to some international experts in volleyball that i was listening too .specially on his substitution and time out. Vlasco was very fast and quick on that . by the way this USA team looked strong really . no wonder they won it all

But Valasco after we finished last year said this is all you can expect from this team and the Iranian team reached its top level. How wrong was he. Kovac took us to next level and some more. Valasco did great job, but he did not believe our team can do better go hight, and I am glad he left.
