Czech MBs are weak and inexperienced. Trnkova who is only 20 years old is a good blocker, but a very weak hitter. Sajdova, vice versa. But German MBs without Chris wouldn't look so much better compared to the Czechs IMO.
Parisi said that he's content with the results of friendly matches, beating Belgium, playing much better than he had expected.
Havelkova-Mlejnkova duo is pretty much balanced and with Jasova (Kovarova) back, passing got a lot better as well, so why not? I want some surprises indeed.
