For 7th Position -
IND l BRA 1-3 (17-25 22-25 25-16 16-25)

So with that Indian boys ended their campaign on 8th position ... Iran defeated China 3-2 (21-25 25-22 26-24 29-31 15-7) to win 2007 World Youth Volleyball Championship ... Good to see Asian teams finished in top 2 positions, but it was lost opportunity for us to not finish on the podium ... Our find of the tournament is Mandeep Singh, he will definetly get call from our senior side.
