    simple answer, if the ball is above the net, it has to be with one hand on the third contact. You cannot use a tip with an open hand with that one hand, which looks like a hold/catch/throw. So you have the option of knuckle pokies.

    But that's not true either or at least not defined like that. Some two handed players over the net were allowed when they were clearly like a setting motion, but others that were nearly identical were called. It's a mess :gone:

    As posted by Joyajoelle in another topic, there is a new video (by Dutch federation? by CEV?) to explain how to apply the lift call rules. IMO it doesn't really make things clearer :whistle: What I hate most is how some two handed plays are legal and others are not, for example why is that ball by Sylves played far into the opponent's corner not legal? It's a short contact and even with some parabola :down: I still think the criteria should be the length of ball contact, not how many hands are used or anything like that.


    What does this post even mean? I hardly see you mean Türkiye is superior to the other teams.

    We will see tomorrow. Turkey played very well today overall, no doubt about that, but Serbia played just a little too terribly for my taste.

    Kinda sad how everyone has to resort to toxicity when Turkiye wins, idk where this xenophobia stems from anyway, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Turkiye has been having such a force in volleyball besides Vargas because of their heavy middle game. No other team is so MB based and it leaves a lot of room for creativity and loose opponent blocks. Mind you one of the MBs is a 39 year old woman too. Let's praise our opponents when it's time to do so imo and have some class. Serbia was already showing cracks in their game during VNL the past years, it's been coming, Turkiye is just better rn.

    Nobody denies Turkey plays very well, but scenes like Mirkovic serving 5m out or Gocanin receiving a simple float serve with her face have nothing to do with Turkey playing well.

    Serbia plays like they received death threats in case they win. Some of those errors are hard to believe for a team their level.


    They might as well hand Turkey the gold medals right now because probably whoever meets them in the final will play the same way tomorrow.

    I'm gonna say something that Serbians will crucify me for but it's just a joke ok ? ;(


    Turkiye Germany was the real semi final


    (I wouldn't mind a reverse jinx so we can see a tb at least tho)

    No, Turkey-Poland was the real semifinal :whistle:

    There was a touch but isn't it kinda going out of bounds anyway, no way they flew to reach to that ball

    It doesn't matter, referee said 4 touches and challenge showed it was wrong, so the point had to be replayed! It doesn't matter what would have happened after the referee whistled.

    well in an absolutely SHOCKING turn of events. The final four of the euros is Serbia Italy Turkey Poland. Who could have possibly predicted that

    How rude of you not to believe in Germany's victory over Turkey :hit: I think I should discuss this with Ci Michel and ask her to post another eight stories about it :wavy:
