2014 FIVB World Championship - Italy - 9/23

    Quote from vyz

    what's first in CEV, sets ratio or win-loos ratio? if it's about sets than Serbia already finished first in the group.

    Points, then matches won-lost, then sets ratio, then ball points. So the winner of the match will definitely be 1st.


    Once again: the performance of the referees is one thing, but Serbia certainly performs worse than the referee and they have only themselves to blame if they lose this match :!: (unless something ugly happens at 13-13 in 5th set...)

    Its a big shame...


    even if Serbia wins..Azeri already got what they needed...two sets..so they can advance at least as second best. :down:


    Its a shame such important matches..still ahve these kind of things.

    If POL-BEL play 5 sets and Croatia beats Netherlands, both NED and the loser of POL-BEL will have better sets ratio than AZE...

    im against many naturalized players in a Nt!!


    Matthias, if am not wrong ,Mihaylovic is a christian..so she can be regarded as serbian...id like her to play for Bosnian nt of course.


    You are the definition of logical fallacy :wall: How can one's religious belief indicate race or ethnic root? I am atheist so does it mean that I am Swedish :aww:

    Azerbaijan deserved to win 2 sets they actually won, so I don't think something unfair is going on at the moment but ofcourse referees are horrible.


    I wonder how many blocks Gurbanova have made, she has 5 blocks till now at least...

    If both Pol-Bel and Cro-Ned will be a tie-break, Azeerbaidjan will be out...


    but, there is a very little chance that these results wil happen :S :S

    Religion is irrelevant in this context, yes you can regard her as Serbian in an ethno-religious sense but it is citizenship that matters… Otherwise I could be playing playing for about three different NTs :lol:

    no need to be ignorent.....serbians and bosnians have the same etnicity,the same language...the difference is one side is christian and the other side is muslim..got it?

    I don't like AZE team very much, but I agree. Serbia should have played better if they wanted to win clearer (or win at all, they're not there yet...)

    And here we go. Serbia loses the match after being 12-8 up. No help from the referee for AZE there, they earned it fair and square.


    Serbia with 7 pts and 8:3 sets, the best possible result you can get as 2nd ranked. The loser of POL-BEL can get the same if they play 5 sets. Croatia has to win because they lost a set against France. If Croatia wins 3:2, NED will have 7 pts and 8:3 sets as well...
