    I can't beleieve, that Resovia has been eliminated by such a weak team like Metalurg. I'm wordless :roll: They showed how good they can play volleyball yesterday, but if you lose 3-0 abroad you have only alittle chance to qualify. Resovia won 3-0, but lost the most important "golden set". Last year they were in Final Four, now they have been eliminated by Belarusians :thumbdown:

    How is it possible to outplay a team for a 3-0 win in a very convincing way and then to lose the "golden" set? ..... that's why Metallurg will play in the next round, not Resovia, though no one expected that they can make it...

    Well... Jastrzębie lost the first match at home 3-2 and will be probably eleminated, or maybe in Italy they will win... Who knows. However, they definitely caused Italians more troubles than AZS Olsztyn :thumbdown:
