dcro 10,172 Posted August 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Historic win against Germany. Excellent chance to make the quarterfinals and then fight for 6th or 7th place. Even the loss against the Netherlands was not that bad (6:22). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted August 28, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Btw, how many qualify for the World Championships out of here? FINA is not very known for their transparent qualification systems, but I'm guessing Top 6 is likely enough. It will be a challenge, but who knows, it is possible. It will all come down to that certain 5th-8th place playoff match. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,177 Posted August 28, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Oh, boy, it's not looking good for us. I sure was right when I said that this Hungarian team won't be strong this time. I hope that at the very least we will get the 3rd place in our group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzha 512 Posted August 28, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Wow 13 - 4 is a surprising result to read in waterpolo. I believe we've got some young talented girls with Simone van der Kraats (21) and Lola Moolhuijzen (17). PS why is it that strong waterpolo countries on the men's side are barely present on the women's side, like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, i don't think so......women's wp just started with competitions in mid 80s but became Olympic sport just in 2000.......we competed in one Ec in 90s but there were always 3-4 clubs in the biggest cities.....just in latest years women's wp started with more serious work (also Ec had only 8 teams, it was not easy to catch up with the best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was: the last world league Top 2 (what are they going to do with it this year? I don't know) qualify, then 4 from this year's wch, then 3 more from the ECh So a top 6 here is surely enough given that at least HUN, NED, ITA are qualified, but a 7th place should be enough too. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,177 Posted August 28, 2022 #18 Share Posted August 28, 2022 And it just got worse for us. beat which means that we will most likely play against Spain in the QFs. And we NEVER beat Spain in women's water polo. It's going to be a 5th place for us at these Euros, at best. If everything goes as expected, the semi-finals will be... v v (I assume that the Dutch will beat Greece this time in our group.) Honestly, at this point it might be better for us to lose against Croatia, just so we can play against Italy in the QF instead of Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
