it's not a surprise they lost but usa and france where big favorites
and lost.

It sucks, we collapsed, Iran beat same Argentina twice few months a go, but i guess ARG experience played in equation, also Lozano was using again some weird line up. Argentina was very much beatable!

I read this comment somewhere, this is so true. outside hitters is main weakness of Iran, neither of Ebadipour, Ghafour and Mahmoudi,zarrini are in decent shapes


ضعف مشهود تیم ملی در پست پشت خط زن
از مدتها قبل کارشناسان والیبال و حتی هواداران نگرانی خود را در مورد وضعیت مصدومیت و ناآمادگی پشت خط زنهای تیم ملی عنوان کرده بودند. شهرام محمودی در لیگ جهانی عملکرد خوبی نداشت و غفور هم که اصلا به دلیل مصدومیت بازی نکرد. پشت خط زن نقطه اتکای پاسور در شرایط دشواراست و ضعف در این پست یعنی مشکل در حمله و کسب امتیاز. این پست به ویژه در تیم ایران که در دریافت عملکرد خیلی خوبی ندارد، اهمیت بیشتری نیز پیدا می کند.

ARG beat Russia twice since last year also, so no surprise there.
maybe but the bookies had russia as the big favorite to beat argentina.
it the first match argentina was the favorite to beat iran.
today iran is a -1.5 set underdog vs poland.
