How is everything in China? Lol.
Because FIVB just care about money, they just pretend that they are advocating for volleyball
2020 Olympic Games - qualification

I'm sure we all care so deeply about the VNL, and that's why it's the most important tournament for everyone except Brazil and USA.

I am quite sure the olympics are a great priority for all the players and especially for the federation. I am quite sure the current economic problems in Turkey and Turkish liras being down against € (sorry, dont know about economics terms much ) had an effect on this. 1€=6.19 Turkish liras rigt now. On the other hand I think the Dutch federation wanted this so much after seeing their ECH performance against Turkey so this may have an effect also. I wonder how much money they offered.
Yeah, your explanation does make sense. Under financial/economic stress (btw the decreased exchange rate is called depreciation) shifting the priority In TUR's case vis-à-vis the increased appetite by Dutch to host that event to jack up its odds.
I wonder whether CEV
FIVBeventually makes it transparent or not the bidding conditions of the winner, at least by disclosing the amount of money offered and so forth... just curious
-
I think TUR still does have a fair chance to qualify! Of course it will be a tight match.
Why Apeldoorn?
It is like in the middle of nowhere

Why Apeldoorn?
It is like in the middle of nowhereI think it's the best venue to organise this tournament! It's not to big (such as Ahoy), but it's not a sports hall, so more possibilities to place some stands.
Apeldoorn is in the middle of the country and the Netherlands isn't that big, so everybody can come easily to Apeldoorn
-
No way in hell will Gio allow himself to be absent in OG. Turkey has this.

Apeldoorn is a good well known venue, even if I'd prefer Ahoy in Rotterdam. Netherlands doesn't mean only Holland. De Randstad always gets all the attention anyways, let the rest enjoy some fun too
I'll try to be in Apeldoorn -

I love his antics 😂

It's a longshot, but after this this years OQT and ECh, I will be supporting Bulgaria in this tournament. Think they are more likely to upset than the likes of Germany and Poland.
-
i think TUR is favorite over NED.
-
Netherlands hosting gives them a chance to go to Tokyo, but with Guidetti coaching it is a big advantage for Turkey. Not to say at times that watching him coach Turkey is entertaining, when they are losing and his is just exasperated as to “why are you not playing better?”
-
I want Turkey over NED! But poor lonneke
-
Netherlands looks at the end of its cycle, the home advantage can help only to a certain degree and we have no doubts the coach will not be able to fix this team in a few months out of nowhere. Turkey should make it, assuming it doesn't go to another tiebreak which they would probably lose up 10-1.

Colombia has been awarded the hosting of the south american qualifier.
I think that with this decision they become the clear favorite to qualify.

They were considered favourites before that, now even more. Let's go Colombia, I believe in you!

Morrison has been dismissed. He should have been fired a long time ago.
However, it is quite difficult to find a good replacement in such a short time and it also takes time for the team to adjust to a new system.

The Turkish and Polish teams as the strongest contenders should reap benefits from this sudden head coach departure, with the Dutch team is ridden with some problems at present. Their replacement coach may not have enough time to work on the team for the Olympic qualifying tournament in January 2020 hosted there, the last chance to get the sole ticket to the 2020 OG.
Jamie Morrison is no longer the coach of Dutch volleyball players. The Dutch Volleyball Federation announced this on Saturday (05 Oct). Support for Morrison in the player group disappeared last year.
...
Morrison reacts disappointedly to the Nevobo Volleyball Federation:
"For the last three years, I have been fully dedicated to the Dutch volleyball team, we have not achieved our goals in 2019 and I am responsible for that, I would have liked to finish the assignment that I started in 2017 towards Tokyo, but that is no longer possible."

I think that it was the right time for change. This is so close to something big (medals of some color), but still so far away. Sadly, there will be little time to put it together as the national team season is over. Maybe Zwerver coaches them in qualifier?
