Belgium won Pool C by claiming seven victories. Of their five defeats, three came against Finland, the only European side they had faced in the World League so far. French coach Laurent Tillie said: "We served very well tonight. We were focused on the game and concentrated, and that is why we won tonight. We work a lot on our service and our reception, and tonight I think it came together. I think today it appears we were in better shape than Belgium, because we finished one week earlier."
