    29th - Prediction Game - Women's European Championship 2011

    Congratulations once again to the Serbs, they really deserved to win. On Miljkovic's not-the-best-day (he's been often nor the 1st nor the 2nd offensive option) they've showed they're a real team.
    Probably we've lost from the mental PoV in 1st place: too much arguing, and you should know that - even if you're right (take the action that led Savani to discuss with the ref, getting the yellow card) - this kind of attitude harms you. Very bad to see, once the match is over, Berruto saying to someone "Uomo di merda" ("Shitty man")... I wonder who he was addressing to and why...

    Exactly. The behaviour of Italian team and staff during and after the match was :down: :down:


    Dutch referees - in general Dutch people - hate that behaviour.

    Had you deleted your previous message 'cos you were waiting for some Italian to point out the issue? :roll:

    Yes I deleted my previous message, because there went something wrong with quoting.


    And indeed, being a Dutch citizen, I hate acting, simulating, keep protesting etc. It's luckily not in our culture.

    there really should have been a challange system. It is so obvious with the power and speed this sport has, this is a real need.
    Such unpleasant situiation as yeasterday's match point in tiebrek should have non exists.

    You mean some technoligical device, like tennis' hawkeye?

    Quote from Ömer

    Best Spiker and Best Scorer- Maxim Mikhaylov
    Best server- Bartek Kurek
    Best Blocker- Marko Podrascanin
    Best Libero- Andrea Bari
    Best Reciever- Nikola Kovacević

    Thank you. :flower: Happy for Mikhaylov, Kurek, Podrascanin, Kovacevic and Miljkovic. ^^

    Btw... In Italian, to describe a situation (usually a bad one) you can do nothing about, we say "Non ci sono santi" ("There's no saints"). And this has been precisely our situation today: Serbs have S. Sava, we... just Sava. :whistle:

    A change in tournament rules is much more important and must be made after this Olympic cycle

    Quote from nadejda

    could be interesting for example if we have pools with only 1st and 2nd advance. Then there's got to be a draw and 1st teams get some form the second teams in direct QF eliminations.


    Fair play is always interesting :win:
