Display MoreGER-NED 2:3 (25:23, 17:25, 21:25, 25:17, 13:15).
EDIT: result corrected
I watched only 5th set so I can't really comment anything, just that I'm a bit surprised positively that German team could make the match so close. Two of the last three Dutch points were serves rolling over the net by Sloetjes and Grothues
I think the 5th set was pretty representative of the match. NL generally better, but interspersed with a bad rotation or two that cost a lot of points. Buijs played well IMO.

Greetings from a sauna in Muenster that’s been cleverly disguised as a volleyball stadium 😂
Pretty even so far been DE and NL

Anyone have a full schedule? Now that Quinta retired I'm relying on you guys
I found this, but what about all of the minor tournaments?

Els Vandestene( Belgium nt player) and Vicky Pattison (Geordie Shore)
OK I know this is from 4 years ago, but for what it’s worth, Els thinks it’s crap 
(Also, since Els is not from Newcastle, her English is much better than Vicky’s ) -
My god, Nantes had their bananas today!

Next year's edition will take place from 4-9 September. Quite an unusual date for Montreux, but with the domestic and international calendars growing more and more it seems to be difficult to fit yet another tournament in for many teamsUnusual indeed. I hope they'll be able to fill the slate so close to the World Champs...

Appropriate that The Boss got the winning point. She really has been outstanding...
-
I hope one of Knip or Blagojevic will get the best libero award and honestly I don't see anybody else, perhaps V.Mammadova, but I prefer those two.
Now known as "Nip" and "Blagevic"

I think the worst case was by some brainless old man saying Smart chick for Smarzek, Schhhhtoltenborg for Stoltenborg some years ago. Also Lise Van Hooker for Van Hecke
I won't even mention about Buijs, this poor girl's name has been badly pronounced all the time It's not the the pronunciation. He also talks nonsense. He said several times that someone was "on flames". Playing well = "on fire", playing badly = "up in flames". "On flames" doesn't mean anything in English!

Don't every worry about pronouncing dutch names badly, he's not the first nor worst actually
I'm not watching the game on youtube but just checked it.
I have NEVER heard anyone saying Lonnek Slucci before...

On behalf of my country, I apologise for this STUPID Youtube commentator. Never heard anyone talk so much nonsense (or pronounce Dutch names SO badly).

Youtube stream is now on in the UK (not sure about other countries)...

I am watching it here:

Just look for vball and choose the final match.
Thanks!

Including countries where it isn't even on tv... Stupid own goal

Quinta Steenbergen gave birth to her son Valentine on Thursday
Pleased to report that Quinta and Valentijn are both doing well... Now I have to think what to get him. If he's anything like his mum I should probably get him a pint glass

Hi everyone, this is what's turning into my annual login during Montreux
I'm not there this time because I had to stay in London for the election. But great to see some talented young players and familiar faces. Hope all of you are doing well!

Agree 100% with Sander... If a team keeps losing sets 29-27 or at least 25-23, it suggests they have the level to win them but lose the crucial points.
Also, rotation 1 seemed to be rather expensive, especially against China. That match could have been VERY different without losing so many of those points.
BUT... The fact that they (and maybe we) are disappointed with 4th place, losing to China and the US in the final four, shows the level they're at, and they should be very proud of what they've achieved.
-
And what is this China? Problems in reception, but also that block during the point at 15-24... Was that the first actual Chinese block?
-
On the basis of the quarter finals so far, it seems like the level in group B was an awful lot higher than group A...
