Without their own intervention, German volleyball players around Berlin’s Ruben Schott and Johannes Till shivered in the round of 16 at the World Cup. Poland coach Michal Winiarski’s devastated team benefited from the competition’s results on Wednesday and advanced to the knockout rounds as one of the four best-placed third-placed teams.
against Slovenia again
Ranked 15th in the combined table after the group stage, the Germans now meet vice European champions Slovenia in a confusing manner, as they did at the end of the group. So they have a chance to avenge a violent 0:3 smack.
This defeat against the World Cup co-hosts ensured that Germany finished third in Group D with just one win and therefore relied on help from other groups. Only the top two teams in each group and the four best third-placed teams advance to the Round of 16.
