    Not really about this tournament,however there's no thread for 2023 tournament yet.


    According to our media North Macedonia will be one of the hosts of 2023 men Eurovolley.

    I hope turkey would be one of the hosts, we need a success story like female team. and 2023 could be a good year, exactly 20 years after the turning point for female volleyball in Turkey. Also our 2000+ youngsters are great, they will mature till then


    Here is the group. The top four teams in each pool will qualify for the final round.

    The knockout will start from 1/8.

    Which teams do you expect to qualify next round?

    The logic of recent results should be that POL/SRB/UKR/BEL qualify from pool A, ITA/SLO/BUL/CZE from B, RUS/NED/TUR/FIN from C and FRA/GER/EST/SVK from D.


    But euros usually has surprises so who knows. Would say pool A has the most potential for upsets (from 3rd place down).

    Agree for pool A and B. Maybe Macedonia might grab last ticket in pool C and Croatia in D. Definitely(hopefully) we will see some surprises.

    And hopefully Turkey will have a good tournament. Its time for us to make some jump:lol: I hope they wont f up

    Yeah Turkey looks like a good dark horse for the tournament, especially if the olympic teams don't take their main players.

    It's hard to predict the result based on team roster. We've already seen too many dramas in Tokyo 2021 Olympics.


    My prediction:

    A: Poland, Serbia, Belgium, Ukraine

    B: Italy, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic/Belarus

    C: Russia, Netherlands, Turkey, Finland

    D: France, Germany, Croatia, Estonia/Slovakia

    Team France


    Lifters: Benjamin Toniutti, Antoine Brizard and Kellian Motta Paes

    Opposites: Jean Patry, Théo Faure and Ibrahim Lawani

    Pointers: Earvin Ngapeth, Trevor Clevenot, Yacine Louati, Luka Basic and François Rebeyrol

    Central :Barthélémy Chinenyeze, Nicolas Le Goff, Daryl Bultor, Henry Méderic and Mousse Gueye

    Liberos: Jenia Grebennikov and Benjamin Diez

    Is the setter avoiding Adis or what? He has Adis in position 4 but goes for Yigit with back row attack. And there were other questionable choices as well. And Beytullah is just not up for this level. But those all are known issues and we know why those players are here.
