By: Rene Navarro. After falling in its two most recent performances against the teams of Holland and Brazil, Cuba's team will have to fight hard against the Czech Republic and Italy to aspire to a position between 9 and 12 in women's volleyball World Cup taking  place in Japan.

Only two dates away to end the second round of games, the teams of Russia and Japan, in group E, as well as Brazil and the United States in group H, are showing up as strong candidates to advance to the medal stand discussion.

Based on the current situation, South Korea, Serbia, Germany and Italy would be discussing the positions of 5 to 8, while Poland, Turkey, Holland and Cuba tend to the dispute over parts of 9 to 12.

Cuba lost in four sets on Sunday commitment against the Olympic champions Brazil. It went ahead 25-23, but then relented 20-25, 13-25, 18-25. The high command of the South Americans was evident in its wide offensive actions, always accompanied by a defense that ranked among the most outstanding of the universe.

Brazil's team with Sheila Castro (17 points), Fabiana Claudino (15) and Thaisa Menezes (14) led to the formation of Brazil, while Kenya Carcaces (19), Ana Yilian Cleg (9), greatly reduced the Yoana Palacios and Rachel Sanchez, 8 goals each, were the highest contribution to the Caribbean squad.
