Brazil and Bulgaria got the same amount of points in the pool B, the similar situation is in the pool B where Serbia and Italy got the same chances to get promoted to the Final Six.
We still don’t have a clear situation in the pool A and we should expect the exciting finish of the competition. Brazil and Bulgaria are still fighting for the top spot. Both teams had no problems to win against their competitors and still are sharing the same score in the rank. However "canarinhos" are leaders of the pool due to the better set ratio. Bulgaria and Brazil will clash once again this week to fight for the pole position and in this way participation in the final tournament.

Also the situation in the pool B looks very interesting. After two convincing victories in straight sets over China Italy got promoted to the first rank and now is leading the pool with 24 points. However the same amount of points got second team, Serbia and in this pool everything is still possible. France stunned the audience in Belgrade and surprisingly won in the second game against Serbia. Serbia and Italy will play against each other again this week and the result of this rivalry will be decisive.
Finland caused the major sensation of the fifth weekend of World League by winning over previously unbeaten Russia. Guys of coach Mauro Berutto found a recipe against brilliant Russia in the second game in front of home audience and made their fans happy by winning 3-1. USA had serious problems against Egypt and the rivalry between both team ended up twice as a tie-break. Americans won in both games however they didn’t show a good performance and in this shape they will have serious problems against Russia. Only Sean Rooney was playing at his best all the time, even players like Clayton Stanley found it difficult to overcome Egypt’s defence. Anyway with gained 20 points reigning Olympic champions still got a chance to become the first in the pool but in order to achieve that they have to beat Russia twice which is rather unlikely to happen.
After the fifth weekend of this year’s World League everything is clear in pool D. Cuba was playing at the brilliant level against Poland and was a better team in every single way. Especially Cuban attack was marvelous and home side was visibly weaker than the visitors. This 6 points gained in Poland made Cuba almost sure their participation in the final tournament in Argentina. Germany still got some chances but it’s rather impossible for Argentina to win over excellent Cuba and in this way Cuba made their ticket to Cordoba.
