it looks that the Dutch born spiker Dick Kooy could play for Italy in the next future...

he got married with an Italian woman and now he just completed all the burocratic tasks to get the Italian citizenship...

he also said he would be happy to be part of the Italian team (he's currently playing in Russia, but he did play already in the Italian league -in Modena and Macerata, to be precise- for a few years between 2009 and 2013)...

That's almost three years old, I wonder what the 'new news' is? :p

It says Kooy won't play for the Dutch team anymore and he asked for an Italian passport to make it easier to compete in the Italian competition. Already in 2016 he was married with an Italian woman and had a house in Milan, which at that time he said is where he wanted to settle permanently.

3 years ago he said he would likely get the Italian citizenship and play for our NT...

the news is that now he finally completed the burocratic tasks and got his Italian passport, so from now he could play for Italy...:evil:

Trouble in the Dutch men's league :d 

 

Sunday, 5th and deciding match of the final between reigning champion Lycurgus of Groningen and challengers Orion of Doetinchem. Lycurgus won the first two sets and at 25-24 an ace gave them the title.....until the referee decided the ball was out :yikes: 

Not sure if the video works outside the Netherlands:

https://www.dvhn.nl/sport/Volleybalbond-erkent-foute-beslissing-arbitrage-in-kampioensduel-Lycurgus-tegen-Orion-24451346.html

 

Orion got the point, 25-25, and went on to hold on against 4 more match points in the same set, before turning it around and taking the win and the title in 14-16 final set. The Dutch federation has now said the referee's decision on match point was indeed wrong, but there is 0 chance of any replay.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.

    • Team Slovakia   Goaltenders:   Leonardo Roberto Henriquez (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Alan Lenďák (Fargo Force, )  Michal Prádel (Tri City Storm, )    Defencers:   Adam Beluško (Green Bay Gamblers, )  Michal Čapoš (Wenatchee Wild, )  Andrej Fabuš (HC Slovan Bratislava) Adam Goljer (HK Dukla Trenčín) Adam Kalman (HC Nové Zámky) Filip Kovalčík (Drummondville Voltiguers, )  Matúš Lisý (Red Deer Rebels, )  Luka Radivojevič (Boston College, )          Forwards:   Jakub Dubravík (Vlci Žilina - Juniors) Alex Gašo (Mountfield HK, ) Ján Chovan (Sudbury Wolves, )  Tomáš Chrenko (HK Nitra) Michal Liščinský (HC Košice) Alex Mišiak (Erie Otters, )  Samuel Murín (Tri City Storm, )  Adam Nemec (HK Nitra) Tobias Pitka (Northern Michigan University, )  Tomáš Pobežal (Kingston Frontenacs, )  Andreas Straka (Quebec Remparts, )  Michal Svrček (Brynäs IF Gävle, )  Tobias Tomík (Vancouver Giants, )  Lukáš Tomka (HC’05 Banská Bystrica)
    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy 
    • The doomongering made what I post on here seem positive. Everything possible to go wrong was predicted fo go wrong.
