The Euro opens tonight with  Italia against  Romania under the night sky. Has someone checked the weather forecast for any potential rain?

as a proverb says: today's only raining down your back!

 

we're in the bright sunny 35°C range today in the planes in the north of Italy  

 

p.s. starting at 8 p.m., the game's likely over before we have a true night sky...I guess it would have been better to start at 9/9.15 p.m.

 

by the way, it's always a nice and prestigious landscape when you play at the Arena Scaligera in Verona, even if it's not an Opera

Let's hope Romania can win more than 15 points per set, so it's not a full blown-out.

I'm sure  Italia doesn't need to naturalize Russian players, but here we are

actually, Antropova is not a Russian "player"

 

she was born in Iceland from Russian parents and technically she's an Italian volleyball player, as she's been living here since she was 14

 

the problem is that she was called up by the Russian U-15 National team when she was eligible for that team (but she never played for them because she was already living in Italy) and therefore the FIVB and CEV were forced by the Russian protest to stop her from playing for  already 3/4 years ago

 

all that mess went on until a few months ago the CAS ruled that she was actually a true Italian volleyball grown player and could play for our NT

 

then, she also had to wait a few more months because of the Italian burocracy, which is normally very complicated, but nowadays it's even more frustrating when it has to do with people coming from Countries like Russia, Cuba and all the non "politically pro West of the World" places 

 

p.s. technically, we need a player like that more than oxygen, given that we don't have any power hitter (except for Egonu and all of her mental issues)

 

and I'm preparing the  after Mazzanti tonight made it clear that Antropova is the starting opposite and Egonu is just a reserve

 

if only we don't win this championship...

Italy love naturalize volleyball players 😉
