iran did not show up for france and it probably would not have
mattered if they showed up.the boys were saving themselves for
the next 2 matches that are the semi-final and the final for them.
beat japan in the semis and china in the final and they qualify for rio.
that's the sum of it.
iran wins the semi-final against the host with authority even though
they did not have a great day offensively.but their blocking of the short
japan team saved the day and the 3 points are in the bag.
next up in the final is china.much more height than japan and a better
team overall.they are coming off a tough 2-3 loss to poland which means
they are as tired if not more tired than the the iranian boys.iran needs to
find it's offensive rhythm back and they need #10 for this match to put
pressure on chinese blockers.it's not going to be easy but iran should win
it since they got the better coaching.
