EuroVolley 2021-Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria & Croatia

    Quote from hakin12

    Martha Anthouli, the 17-year old and 204 cm tall hyped-up talent representing Greece, delievered a quite stunning, mindblowing performance against Austria from a statistical standpoint. Being the game's topscorer by quite a stretch, she scored 19 pts in attack in only three sets while hitting with 59% efficiency rate. Perhaps even more impressively, she managed to escape a single attacking error or fault albeit loading the artillery 32 times. Here is full stats from the game: https://www-old.cev.eu/Competi…hStatistics.aspx?ID=40611


    According to a former Soviet NT legendary player, I don't remember her name atm, Anthouli is a genuine prospect, and it will be intriguing to follow her development in the upcoming years.

    OK atm she is a little bit slow and her hits are not powerful.But she can hit over the block :lol:. I hope she can be healthy mentally, too.Its not so easy in that age to be a girl of 2 meters.Imagine the bulling...

    As we already know "EuroVolley 2021" drawing of lots will be held tomorrow on May 20, at 20:00(CET) in building of City Assembly of Belgrade ('Old palace') with live broadcasting on National television of Serbian channel 2 (RTS 2), cable channel Arenasport 1 and official CEV Facebook page. Maja Ognjenović will participate at the draw as the tournament ambasador.

    Pool A : Serbia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Belgium, France, Bosnia & Herzegovina


    Pool B : Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, Greece


    Pool C : Croatia, Italy, Belarus, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland


    Pool D : Romania, Turkey, Netherlands, Ukraine, Finland, Sweden

    Pool B looks the most balanced, there is no "big" team but also (maybe except for Spain) no really weak one. OTOH I think Pool C is by far the weakest, Italy probably won't lose any set and I guess Croatia won't have any trouble either except maybe against Belarus.

    Pool A seems the toughest! I don't understand how Azerbeidzjan could be chosen as the first team?:/

    Pool B seems pretty balanced! I expect interesting matches^^

    Pool C will be the least competitive. Italy will dominate this pool easily...

    Pool D will be a battle between Turkey and the Netherlands. Hope Sweden will be able to pass the knockout phase!:saint:

    I didn't understand that entire "choosing opponent" thing to be honest :aww: But I guess AZE won't have a strong team this year...

    I like this draw for Sweden, it gives them a chance to make the knockout phase.

    Pool B: I think Grecee is able to beat Czech Republic

    Pool D: I'm not sure if Romania will qualify. Ukraine, Sweden and Finland are on similar level.
