Olympic Games - 2012 London (qualification process)

Quote from flyingdutchman

Diefenbach is an 23-years-old MB, 196cm, playing for Langhenkel Volley, in Dutch League.

I can imagine you don't know him

About Vlam: he has no club at the moment, so I think that could be a reason why he isn't in the roster.

About Overbeeke: He played some nice games with his club Lennik, but I presume Benne thinks he is too unexperienced yet, for such important tournament.

Yes, I know Vlam is without a club at the moment, and with Kooistra and Bontje there is hardly any place for anyone else, but he made some good games in the WCCH in Qatar, so could've been given a chance maybe.. Anyway, when the two starters in the middle are known, the rest is not that important, I guess.. About Overbeeke, well, it's true he lacks some experience, but to me even he and Krolis are way better options than van Dijk

Too bad for Kooy!

Totally agree. Van Dijk moves in slow motion.

Quote from flyingdutchman

Dick Kooy will not play because of an injury He already arrived from Modena with the injury, and today an investigation turned out the injury is more severely than expected..

Big blow for Holland..

Krolis played very bad in Nantes lately. Klapwijk is in great shape now, Benne must use him as a starter.

Sorry for the stupid question, but which country is "Rakúsko"?

Too bad that this doesn't refer to him

Austria

Quote from Justyna

Austria

Thanks, Justyna

Slovakia performed well on ECh and adding the "factor" hosts, they have pretty good chance to win the tournament.

Quote from mariuszj1939

Netherlands = Nizozemí in Czech language - it's so nice but we (Slavians) are able to understand much better comparing to Austria

Haha, yeah
Nizozemi is an easy one, but Rakúsko - I still can't understand where it comes from.
For example, for us, I know that we call the 'Germans' - Nemci (Немци), because we couldn't understand their speech .

He is the best scorer of A2

It's exactly the same thing with us! We call them almost just like you- Niemcy

Quote from raylight

So what? This statisitcs don't make him more useful for the NT, I mean the other two opposites are just better than him, IMO. I've been watching Van Dijk in the NT since 2007 I think, and I am pretty well aware of what he basically can.

@ Dutch members

What's the situation with Dutch setters?

Anyone knows Belgium roster for qualies in France?

Quote from Kaziyski

Anyone knows Belgium roster for qualies in France?

Depestele, Verschueren, Claes, Verhanneman, Deroo, Klinkenberg, Verhees, Coolman, Raymaekers, Van Walle, Van den Dries et Dejonckheere.

These are the players who played a friendly game against France last thursday. (France won 3-2 : 30-32, 25-19, 21-25, 25-22, 25-21). As you can see the last set was played in 25.

Van Harskamp rushed to the dentist and Abdelaziz had some little knee-troubles...so both setters were not available for 2nd friendly vs Germany --> match cancelled.

Roster for this week:

Setters: van Harskamp, Abdelaziz

Opp: Klapwijk, van Dijk

MB: Bontje, Kooistra, Lorsheijd

OH: Horstink, Maan, Trommel (Andringa)

L: Jorna (Andringa)

Without Kooy and Rauwerdink, OH-position has become a weak spot. It will be very hard to win the tournament.

Vadeleux is injured? I've read that MB will be Hardy, Trefle and Sol
