Although Kobzar for sure isn't a bad setter you can see the difference now. Compared to marouf he looks really wooden.
Yes "wooden" is the exact term! His muscles seem a bit too big somehow, which is - surprisingly - not always a good thing to have. And immediately a very readable game, no middle attack and a good chance for the host team... that the host team has politely declined :).
Great game by Lube! Podrascanin what a player

Could be for nothing, if Antwerpen still somehow manages to turn the match around vs. Innsbruck. 0:2 and 16:11.....

Yeah I know
It looks like both will happen. Then we will have both friedrichshafen and Lube with 10 points and 3:3 wins. set ratio is probably better for Lube??

The Belgian Flemish side is still fighting and definitely may grab a set (or two?)... Or three and then there may be no need to calculate all ratios. Well, at least Antwerp's business doesn't look as hopeless as that of Fener's and (dare I say?) Fridriechshafen's.
Anyway, Treia seems to be out as Fridriechshafen has a better set ratio. This is a stronger criterion that the point ratio (where Treia is doing better). A great chance for a great team to... concentrate on the domestic league.
On their facebook-site, Friedrichshafen already announced that they entered play-offs

There 's a chance that Laola streams with a delay. I guess they wrote smth like "we won the play-off spot in a tough encounter with Zenit"

Anyway, Innsbruck won against Antwerp......
A friend of mine from Macerata has just told me that Treia has qualified for the playoff due to the defeat of Antwerp. Anyway, he can be wrong

He's right coz Treia has 10 points and Antwerp only 9.
Yes, now gazzetta.it has wrote that Treia has officially qualified and besides it's going to submit the application in order to host the F4
Yes, there should be only one loser team from the second spot, and it is Antwerp. I guess, one host team and the rest twelve play two ko rounds.
Tomis, Novosibirsk, Asseco, Zenit,Belgorod, Belchatow and Perugia are qualified the playoffs as a 1st placed teams. Halkbank, Berlin, Piacenza, Wegiel and Friedrichshafen are qualified the playoffs as a 2nd placed teams. Lube will be qualify to playoffs after the DOL's instead of hosting team of Final Four.
Second scenario is as follows: Tomis, Novosibirsk, Asseco, Zenit,Belgorod, Belchatow and Perugia are qualified the playoffs as a 1st placed teams. Halkbank, Berlin, Piacenza, Wegiel and Friedrichshafen are qualified the playoffs as a 2nd placed teams and Lube will go into the CEV Cup as the last 2nd placed team but I'm not sure about that.

All the italian news say the contrary. Anyway, here's a video from Treia's arena at the moment in which Innsbruck scores the last point against Antwerp. You can see the coach and the players who are celebrating

The Italian champions indeed routed Turkey’s Fenerbahce SK. ISTANBUL to avenge their loss from the first round of action in Pool E cruising to a 3:0 victory (25-14, 25-15, 25-21) and remain in contention for a spot in the Playoffs 12 of the 2015 CEV DenizBank Volleyball Champions League – Men.
Here is a recap of what happened among the teams on the bubble, who got into the playoffs, and who is in the CEV Cup.
It is a common practice in the Champions League for a team among those 13 to host the F4, with the F4 in Prague being the only recent exception in 2009, so it was 100% certain before last night that only the weakest runner-up would not go further. Precura Antwerpen got the short straw and they have absolutely no one else to blame. Overall, Friedrichshafen and surely Treia will have more to offer than Antwerpen in the Playoffs 12 round.
Also, after losing at home against Tomis and then in Piacenza, Roeselare knew their main goal should be the Challenge Round of the CEV Cup. They got it. Alongside the unlucky Precura Antwerpen, Fenerbahce and CAI Teruel.
According to several rumors Berlin will be the host.
Can the Cubans play for Resovia?
