That's a little bit funny:

08/16 - official news that Proxima will play at friendly tournament in Rzeszow against Developres, Eczacibasi, Dresdner and Alba Blaj

08/17 - official news that Proxima withdrew from league and won't exist anymore

I guess Iceland got a spot because last year they won the championships of european small countries beating Cyprus etc.

Czech Republic - Sweden 1:1

Estonia - Finland 2:0

Austria - Switzerland 1:2

I did not expect this.

is Israeli team good enough currently? can they resist against Slovenia today ?

No Slovenia is quite a good team. I think they would beat for example Croatia or even Czech Republic.

Slovakia vs. Fin

Slovakia won't play in the qualification round. There are the host nation. Czech Republic replaced themin pool E.

Ola Trojan is rumored to play for PTPS Piła and Ada Muszyńska will be loaned from Budowlani.

Ukrainian MB Natalia Misuna renewed her contract with Pałac Bydgoszcz. Patrycja Polak might join the team as well.

The qualifications tournament starts today.

12 teams will advance to the 2019 CEV ECH.

I guess it might be:

pool A: Belgium and Slovenia

pool B: Croatia and Austria

pool C: Ukraine and Greece

pool D: France and Portugal

pool E: Czech Republic and Finland (I feel so sorry for Sweden. Probably they will lose against Finland but are stronger than e.g. Portugal).

pool F: Romania and Spain

Blagojević had knee surgery in Poland. She already joined the Developres team and will be ready to play on November.

Right. Lira is getting weaker and weaker every day.

And she was worse than horrible in Poland (season 16/17)

It's half of July and only 3 teams have closed their rosters. This is unusual.

Yes. Because the clubs waited for PLPS decision.

For example MKS Kalisz really wanted to merge with Impel or take a spot from KSZO. They had sponsorship deals etc. But they won't play in LSK so they lost the sponsors that wanted support the club in LSK... This is why Janicka and Dybek will probably join KSZO.

Impel waited so long. Roksana Brzoska almost signed a contract with Pałac but she got offer from Impel and will play for them.

Also Pałac found a sponsor, and it looks like they want to sign with better players. I feel so sad they didn't renewed their contract with Misiuna

but Agata Witkowska and Tamara Kaliszuk are going to sign with them.

ŁKS didn't announce their last OH. I guess it might be Maren Fromm or someone experienced who will replace Sielicka.

Proxima had to find a new Opp because of Martyna Łukasik

Because they have debts and nobody wants to play for them

Plus, they started talking to the players like 10 days ago. There's not many options left.

Edit: Trojan and Słonecka signed their contracts today (according to 'rumors' :D)

Trojan, Lewandowska, Szczygioł, Dybek, Bryda and Janicka are rumored to play for KSZO. Don't know if club will sign all of them or just few players.

Daria Khokich, Anastasia Bazyk, Anastasia Trach and Anastasia Shash will play in KSZO Ostrowiec.

Shash was supppsed to play for Suhl and some local media reported her as ex-player of Suhl.

Setter Pavla Šmídová (Vincourova) signed with Proxima Kraków.

I don't know where everyone got the idea that Brazil will win easily. It's Dominican Republic's top team vs Brazil's team...C? with Dani and Thaisa who are still recovering from prolonged absence with the NT.

So, who's in Brazil team B if it's team C?

Andrea Kossanyiova in Proxima Krakow.

Weronika Wołodko renewed her contract with Volleyball Wrocław.

Erica Salanciova will play in Gliwice (second division).
Piotr Khilko is the new head coach of Wisła Warszawa and Olena Novgorodchenko renewed her contract with this club (second division)

so far Kelsey is pretty bad in the first set, considering how great she has been since her transition to libero.

They need real libero not Kelsey. In last 4 years, US NT had good players like Banwarth, Davis, Miyashiro, Hagglund... and now what? Kelsey will be their starting libero in WCH?
