The victory of the Blues against Serbia had left intact the chances of qualifying for the Final 8 of the League of Nations but the hopes could have flown away Sunday in the early morning French time: beaten by the United States (25-23 , 27-25, 27-25), the French team no longer had its destiny in hand.
If the Netherlands had beaten Slovenia a little later, they would have taken the last jump seat for the quarter-finals. Their wide defeat ultimately means Andrea Giani’s men will qualify if they win against Germany on Monday morning.
Overall tight, the meeting escaped the French because of their less good money-time management. Long in contact in the first set without being able to pass, they were unable to convert two second set balls and cracked in the money-time of the third.
