    No big surprises tonight. The most interesting game was Cannes - Tours as both team are running for the title this year. But both teams had also a very short preparation with a lot of players involved in national teams. Paris's difficulties to win in Narbonne are intriguing but french international opposite Ludovic Castard wasn't able to play due to an injury.
    Impressive victory from Poitiers against Sète. Both team having also injuries and preparation matters because of international players.

    Great matches tonight with only one straight sets victory.
    Most interesting game was Paris vs Cannes. That was a second defeat for Cannes after the game against Tours tuesday.
    Tours-Beauvais was also very interesting and Tours had to let 1 point go to Beauvais.
    The only real surprise was Toulouse's defeat in Rennes.

  • Aaaargh ! :cry2:


    Don't speak about broadcast. The two French satellites networks who were fighting against each other in the past to get different sports merged a few month ago. As a result the channel who was formerly broadcasting volleyball (sport+) is now also broadcasting basketball.
    Therefore the only games now programmed for broadcast are the finals ... :cry2:


    The Cup finals would most probably also being broadcast (probably on eurosport) . I'm not familiar with satellites TV, so I don't know what do you called "free channel". But in France you can't watch any volley game without paying for cable or satellite ... :?


    Now sport+ won't broadcast championship matches, but they will broadcast every French teams IECL games. (Mulhouse and RC Cannes for women , Paris and AS Cannes for men)

    I've never seen such a thrilling championship! Right now, there are 8 teams who could claim the champion title.
    After 14 playround there has been 7 leader changes and 6 different teams have been leading the championship! Ajaccio and Asnières, both team fighting to remain in pro A have won their two last games against teams like Cannes, Beauvais, Toulouse and Tourcoing ! It looks like every team is able to beat any given opponent at any time ! 8|

  • Although I 'm still shocked over Asnieres' victory over Cannes last week, I like the suspense of the French championship, unlike Greece for example where we always now that the first three teams will be Panathinaikos, Iraklis and Olympiakos.
    Armel, I know the French Eurosport (unfortunately I can only watch Eurosport International) will broadcast the Cup games tomorrow, could you by any chance record Cannes-Rennes?

  • I'm really sorry, I don't have any TV (and of course neither cable nor satellite) so I can't record it (not mentioning watching it by myself).
    By the way I think that only the saturday game in Poitiers is scheduled to be broadcast. (opposing the winners of tomorrow games Poitiers vs Ajaccio and Cannes vs Rennes)


    I'll be in Toulouse to visit friends this week-end (so I will miss the games in Tours where I wanted to go first) but maybe I'll get a chance to see the game in Toulouse saturday...
    If I hear of someone recording the game, I'll try to get a copy and upload it ... ;)


    The semi final will be broadcast on Eurosport 2 (march 8, 3:30 pm), so maybe you'll be able to watch it in Greece ?


    Since we're speaking about French cup, here is the scheduled:


    In Toulouse


    Paris - Bellaing (N2) 6:30 pm
    Toulouse - Montpellier 8:30 pm


    Group final saturday at 8:00 pm


    In St Brieuc

    Group final saturday at 8:00 pm


    The final 4 will be played in Paris (03/08 and 03/09)

  • Oh, I see, it's ok, thanks for the reply! Meanwhile I thought of checking Poitiers' site (cause they have a multimedia sector and all) and it seems they will broadcast online both matches which will be held there!!
    However, if you have a friend who could record the CL matches between Paris and Cannes I would be eternally grateful ;)

  • You're true, both match of Friday will be broadcast live on Poitiers's website.

  • Hey, I watched the matches on Poitier's site on Firday AND fortunately Eurosport France broadcasted the Poitiers-Cannes game also online! :thumbsup:
    So, Tours, Beauvais, Cannes and Montpellier are the four teams which will compete for Coupe de France :box:
