CEV Cup 2009/2010

This seems to be the most interesting CEV Cup tournament ever! Most of the teams are very strong, maybe a few from the IECL will join in the latter stages depending on the schedule this year, but even like this the CEV Cup 2009-2010 promises to be a dramatic tournament The presence of Iskra, Iraklis, EA Patron, Cuneo and ZAKSA makes me optimistic about the matches to follow

AZS Domex Tytan Czestochowa (POL) - Generali Haching Unterhaching (GER) 3:1
Not bad. But do we have this "golden set" rule also in this season, or not?

anybody can tell me how Dukla Liberec (1st in Czech league) could loose EASY 0-3 at home to Selver Tallin (although Estonian champions but this year very bad in the local baltic league) ?

In this case golden set will be played only if AZS lose match 1:3

I've read they have health problems (flu). They also lost last match in Czech League.

Close match But why didn't MOK play? Is this because of these infamous problems in Croatian federation?

According to Spanish websites MOK Zagreb wanted postpone match due to flu several players.

Aha... So, something completely different. Thanks!

Cuneo should be able to win this. Perhaps the Russians or Greeks can surprise me, but probably not. If someone doens't murder Wijsmans thats is.

Cool I'm watching Cuneo right now! I thank you very much dear sir.

Haha, it's so funny to see how Cuneo doesn't really care about anything that happens in the match. Like the other dudes are playing really well, but they're like "wow......you guys are 'great'.. just accept that you're gonna lose in the end anyway, jeez" haha. Like Cuneo will get blocked and they're like "oh.. no.... how horrible...." like they don't give a shit It's not very exciting to watch, but it sure is funny

It is not true, they simply don't have money either don't wanna say to have money for plane tickets so they just decided to stay at home. If they played score wouldn't be much different, 1 or 2 sets would remain on single digit for Zagreb so its pretty much the same, but still disgrace for croatian volley continuing .

So, close to my first version...
