Olympic Games - Brazil 2016 (qualification process)

    Oh Del Core! You are out of shape, but sometimes you delight us with these high class plays!

    Italians, indeed, like the dram so much.


    Congratulations to Russia, Netherlands, Turkey and Italy!!!

    Nothing because there isn't a prediction game on the blog for this tournament :rolll:
    Fortunately for me 'cause I would be in the tail of the classification

    and now waiting for Brenda Castillo :super:
    ...
    Any link ?

    Sansonna was useless tonight, I hope Bonitta will go with De Gennaro tomorrow. I feel really bad seeing Del Core playing like this, just a little more than one year ago she played an amazing WCH and now she's not herself anymore; she made the right decision by ending her career at the end of this season.

    DOM x PUR will be an interesting match. The one who loses has more chances to go to Rio than the winner :whistle:

    And I don't understand why today De Gennaro was playing as regular OH and not libero. In the first match she was regular libero. As far as I am concerned in CEV competitions you can't change libero to regular player and regular player to libero because this is convinient for you.

    I don't really think anyone in CEV knows that :white:

    Italy was talked with a load of negative comments like having its the worst team but they still made it to semi final. Congrats to them,


    I feel so sorry for Germany, I know they worked so hard :( I keep my fingers crossed for Russia, Netherlands and Italy :D

    Actually you can do it, you can decide it before every match, you just cannot change during the match. At least, this is the rule I used to know, I'm not aware if somenthing changed.

    Best players so far, at least for me :


    Setter : Dijkema
    OPP : Slöetjes
    OH : Kosheleva-Egonu
    MB : Guiggi-Erdem
    L : Malova


    Any opinions? :D

    Not quite true. I like her very much too but their last games in WCH were already difficult. Time (at last !) to let the new generation playing.

    Well, I knew about the rule that you can't. For example Guidetti used to take for every tournament 3 liberos when he was a coach of GER and now with NED, simply because he needed defence specialist to come and replace one of the OH or he used. If such a change of libero for every match would be possible then he could use one of MB or OH as libero.

    rather agree
    Naz and Orro were quite efficient despite all the problems of their team
