Poland disappointed me today. Reception was decent, but spike efficiency should have been much better. Unfortunately after glimpses yesterday, today game wasn’t look so good. Also first libero Paulina Maj didn’t amaze me as Dorota Medyńska did it against China. Team leader again was opposite Katarzyna Skowrońska-Dolata with 16 points. Best scorer from Argentina is Lucia Fresco with 18 points. Poland ends 15th with 6 points and Argentina 16th with 5 points.
