Which other federation organizes tournaments with 4 groups but in which the top 2 of a group will meet each other again in the quarterfinals? All because of this stupid obsession of having 4 hosts. 

 

And in NED they used a hall in Rotterdam (16000 seats according to Wikipedia) for the first part of the group phase but they will play eight and quarterfinals in Apeldoorn (2000 seats)

Yeah they could have switched Rotterdam (which as a capacity of around 11.000 instead of 16.000 for the volleyball) and Apeldoorn around, but then again, Apeldoorn is much nicer than Rotterdam so Rotterdam can suck it  

 

The numbers aren't entirely correct though, maybe the 2000 for Apeldoorn is when they don't open the velodrome stands. They were opened at the Nation's League this year and last year and there were over 5200 people at the match against Brazil a few months ago. Last year I was there, it definitely wasn't completely full (the velodrome stands were opened) and the counter was at 4600 apparently.

 

Still less than in Rotterdam of course, but not a difference of 14.000

incredible...Romania-Portugal 3-1, both of them are eliminated and Greece advance to the next round thanks to a better points ratio for one single point:

Greece 386 / 432

Portugal 386 / 433

Group Stage day 7 - results so far

 

POOL A

Romania 3-1 Portugal ( 21-25 / 19-25 / 25-18 / 25-23)

[VolleyRuller96 264]

Big congratulations to ... they knew they already don't have basically any chance of qualifying, but still they played their hearts out and because of it they eliminated

Such a dramatic turn of events for all teams, as , and had the same amount of matches won, points,. AND identical set ratio That doesn't happen very often.

 

Congratulations to , which turned out to have the best small point ratio and therefore qualified to the next round.

 

[VolleyRuller96 264]

Wow, unbevielable... apparently 1 small point decided that it's Greece who qualifies... If Portugal would, for example, lose the 1st set today 22-25 instead od 21-25, THEY would be the ones to play the eightfinals What a crazy, crazy situation.
