This is the first time I am hearing Azerbaijan's national anthem and damn... it sounds like an epic film.
European Championship 2017 Azerbaijan&Georgia
-
-
looking at their line up Azerbaijan has a decent roster, with home crowd it is not inconceivable that they might even medal here. Remember euro games.
-
Also to add, the hall in Goygol (which is apparently a rather small town in the vicinity of Ganja) is not too big, but it was almost full and the atmosphere was quite nice. Bonus points for the hosts.

I know man, inspiring and ..home crowd. Seriously I have them go close to a medal -
Yep Azerbaijan is the Dark horse of the tournament. Actually for me they are not even neccesarily a dark horse but I guess some people would still underrate them. I actually can see them get a medal too.
-
The video check system better be working at all times. It's all I'm saying.
-
Azerbaijan is such a big team. They are considerably slower than Hungary. They have a good block but the defenders behind are two steps slower.
-
As expected, AZE's big liability is reception. As soon as the ball comes to the setter she can give it to one of the big guns, but right now more passes come right into the hands of Hungary's blockers.

Also Guidetti said they can even reach the semifinal (he named also Belgium and Germany among the 'outsider' contender, but I'f I'm not wrong Aze is the team he pointed out for the chance of reaching the semi).I also noticed the arena was quite full in Serbia-Czech Rep match!
-
Azerbaijan's only perceivable defense is their block and their ability to go over the top... If it doesn't work they are dead.
-
Once it comes down to Rahimova vs Szakmary, Hungary has no chance. They need to fight other battles like the did until 19:13.
-
Dora Horvath could of helped give this Hungarian team more explosiveness but sadly she retired after last season
-
Double block is not even working against Rahimova. Might as well shift to single blocker and just get everyone to defend.

I had Azeris to win 3-0 with a sizeable bet I am ashamed to admit(first bet in years), and first set utterly cack, gave me heart palpitations. They seem to have over come nerves now.
The crowd I am not impressed with at all, they are like watching a boring poetry recital at the library, also the announcer with the american accent does your head in, why? it's so off putting, you are in your own country have an announcer with a heavy azeri drawl ffs, let him butcher the english.
It is so pathetic with this american adoration some countries still seem to have. Azeris need to let in some unemployed under 25s for the next game for some noise, this ain't working. -
Polina is a goddess, I imagine her with a two handed broad sword swinging...
-
Croatia is for now showing good game. Fabris and Barun are main players in attack. Ikic is player what we need
How strong is Fabris hitting

Why would you even want all that? There is nothing wrong with admiring the most powerful, most popular country which basically rules pop culture in the world. Also English is the common language of the world, obviously speaking with a perfect accent is preferred by everyone.

Hungary needs to stop blocking Rahimova altogether. She is unstoppable.
-
Polina is impressive but she is even more overused than Goncharova lol She wouldn't last the whole tournament if AZE keeps overusing her like this.
-
Polina Can't wait to see her in FB
Belarus 8-21 Croatia meanwhile lol. Seems firing Antonijevic already worked positive.
