Take from Serbia Boskovic and you will see how great coach He is.
And He didn't make Boskovic or Mihajlovic...
Serbia was a top tier team before Bošković or Mihajlović tho. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Terzić, but you can't deny that he was very much involved in the development of those players.
Iirc, it's been said in a different thread here that Terzić is supposed to leave after 2021, because Serbia is expected to be one of the hosts of the ECh then.
😂😂😂😂😂 In Italy for olympics qualifications. And of course even in the world championship the audience was really interested even in non Italian matches. Yeah Lodz arena is really big but a really empty arena like this for and European Champions is objectively embarrassing
Yes, it is a sad sight to see, but it is reality.
I can't think of a country where thousands people would pay to go see a random women's volleyball match, other than as you say Italy and dunno maybe Turkey.
Display MoreThis is reported in the rules: " In case two host countries are positioned after the Preliminary Pools so that they should meet
up in the 1/8 Finals, the lowest standing host team of the concerned pool will switch the position
3rd and 4th inside its pool depending on the situation:Example: A1 (ORG.) vs C4 (ORG.) => C4 (ORG.) vs A2 and
A1 (ORG.) vs C3
A2 (ORG.) vs C3 (ORG.) => C3 (ORG.) vs A1 and
A2 (ORG.) vs C4"
Ah ok, it's weird, but it makes sense.
So in this case Poland will most likely play Spain and Slovakia will play Italy.
Damn, this totally changes where they are positioned in the draw as well. So complicated 
honestly the empty stadium in poland is awful. Polish audience seems interested only on his national team and this is trash 👎👎👎. In Italy at olympic qualification the Arena had a good response even when played kenya. And after all of this on this forum people are annoyed if the international competition are always in the same countries...😷😷😷 4 countries is already too much dispersive and why Hungary-Slovakia? Seriously?? I really don't understand Fivb and some on this forum who wants International conpetition in countries not interested in volleyball. Italy basically play in sahara desert 👎👎👎😷😷👎👎👎 Shame on you Polish audience
Sorry, but your post makes no sense. Why would you expect anything other than an empty arena in Poland when it's not Poland that is playing? The same would be whoever hosted. And if Poland played Kenya in Poland, the arena would also be full.
Having four countries hosting is the only way to improve attendance. The attendance in Slovakia and Hungary has been surprisingly big. Much bigger than how it would be if only one country hosted.
Honestly, this isn't even a FIVB organized event, it's CEV who is the governing body.
Looking at the draw now, Poland seems to have a really good shot at getting to the semis now (if they lose to Italy). They will probably be playing Slovakia in the round of 16, and then Germany in QF.
Germany's blocking is really bad today. It appears like Slovakian sets are hard to read, when in fact they really aren't
Finland got themselves a fan in me in this tournament, I'm so glad they won't end it without any wins.
It seemed like her arm sligthly touched it first followed by her hair after, thats what I saw. Hair touches still count btw afaik.
hmm, I was pretty sure hair touches don't count. I mean, most players would put their hair in a bun rather than a pony tail in that case
I think it was her hair that touched the net.
This is totally random, but how cool are those hanging balls in the arena in Bratislava 
Watching Germany-Russia makes me think Slovakia actually has a good shot at being top2 in this group. They can definitely match Germany, and perhaps even challenge Russia.
I'm glad the "smaller" teams are using their opportunities, so far this ECh has been almost as good as last year's WCh.
It's so hard to play Serbia when they have Boskovic and Mihajlovic blocking. Tbh, even China and USA would have problems winning a point in that rotation with no reception.
Sport Klub will not be showing the ECh.
The cable broadcaster for Serbia will be Arena Sport, which I don't have.
So now I'll only be able to watch Serbia's matches on national TV.
It's the other way around for me
The good thing is that Arena Sport (unlike SK and RTS) actually has commentators that know volleyball and follow it beyond the international season, so it's really refreshing to watch.

There was a moment at the medal ceremony, the lights were on Ognjenović, camera zoomed in on her, crying and smiling at the same time. Looked really cool.
I'm happy that this lady got to experience that moment. Women's volleyball basically didn't exist in Serbia before her, so it is awesome that she got to lead Serbia to this gold, now towards the end of her career.
Feel bad for Sylla tho, love her attitude and she played an awesome tournament, it's a shame that she ends it with an error.
Hope they give the Fair Play Award to the Japanese coach just to see how the Brazilian (and Thai) fans would react.
IMO Popović had a sick tournament and deserves it more than De Gennaro. And four individual awards for Italy would be excessive, especially if they lose the final.
Agree that Yan deserves it more than Yuan tho. But Yuan is just such a big presence in the Chinese team and is probably the more "well known" player, so I kinda think they just give it to her by default.
Yeah I thought about it, and I just don't think anyone from the Dutch team is deserving, other than Sloetjes. And there just isn't any room for her, because Bošković and Egonu are there (altho personally I prefer Sloetjes)
Serbia came 4th in the men's WCH and got no individual awards either.
Also, won't be surprised if a Japanese player turns up. Because Japan.
