Livescore at the CEV site says it's going to be Golden set
Right, now it's there...so that new rule isn't applied yet.
-
...but the score hasn't updated since 20 minutes or so

-
Yes, still hasn't and when you open up stats sheet it says
Golden Set won by UKRAINE 0-0
so maybe new rule is already working and Ukraine got through? -
Golden set
France-Ukraine 15-11 -
France is qualifyed !
they won golden set 15/11 i think...but no live score and no scorebox , poor french volleyball!
amazing game by the young E.Fedele : she was the clutch player , maybe the best scorer ,for french team tonight and its good for the future (even if she's only 1m75 tall and weak on passing) at only 19 years old especially because the mvp last week was A.Souply (OH to, 19 years old to , but 1m91). thats make a long long time that french team didnt have to decent OH.
last good news, french team will play in the same pool than Italy, Belgium and Switzerland...nothing impossible to move to second round -
Golden set
France-Ukraine 15-11
Thank you for info! CEV site is just a disaster! You wouldn't manage to make something more useless if you try! -
Thank you for info! CEV site is just a disaster! You wouldn't manage to make something more useless if you try!Not sure if CEV can be blamed for this, the organizer of the match is responsible for live score etc I think...though overall I agree

Ukrainian volleyball is in complete shambles. They could have an excellent team and they're not even going to participate at ECh.

Did they eat poisoned/contaminated food or how did that happen???it was not mentioned but for 99 % yes ..

Luckily the match was in Slovakia, otherwise it could have lead to suspicions that it happened intentionally. I remember in ECH 2003 in Turkey, all teams from Turkey's pool had problems because of contaminated food except Turkey themselves who were in a different hotel than the other teams

finally , statistics are avalaible:

and i'm agree with mathias : dont blame CEV ...french organisation is so weak ! if you see the game , take care about the trouble with the scoring officials before the golden set , so funny ! -
Congrats France

I guess we will have to wait to see what FIVB decides regarding the number of teams that plays GP next year.
