Friendly NT Matches

    Cyprus and Greece are not the same, they are independent countries. It's more similar to Turkey and Azerbaijan or Russia and Belarus.


    It's not at all similar to Puerto Rico which isn't independent.

    It's like saying Ukrainians playing for Russia isn't naturalization :rolll: one could argue these people are even closer as well.


    I get that half of Cyprus and Greece feel extremely related due to similarities in language but Cyprus is a sovereign nation with its own history and even pre-Greek/Ottoman history. Bureaucratically its definitely naturalization which is all that matters at the end of the day.

    2 friendly matches between Belgium and Slovakia this weekend:

    1.match BEL-SVK 3:1 (-23, 12 ,22,17)

    2.match BEL-SVK 0:3 (-23,-18,-22), 4. set -19

    Quote from Matthias

    Herbots scored 57 pts from 110 swings in the first match and was rested in the 2nd? :whistle:

    I know only SVK squads but I predict you are right :lol:

    Would be funny if they won without Britt and lost having her on the court.

    I don't see radosova in slovakia since some time

    What happened with her? She was their best player

    Quote from volleykovic

    She had knee injury, so probably she is not ready yet.

    Ah, thanks for the information. I did a little research on the Slovakian team and Nikola isn't in the squad for the European Championship. But unfortunately I couldn't find the information that she is/was injured. That of course explains her absence. But I still think it's good that she's with the team, even if not as a player.

    she has some injury on her left knee and is treating it also in Belgium in Antwerp

    The Dutch team would have 2 days off, then they will fly to Japan for a friendly tournament. Is there any information about a friendly tournament in Japan?
