Today it starts. After the good matches against Australia I have a tiny bit of hope that our team will qualify. Though it will be very difficult.

We have to become third in our group to avoid Hungary. On a good day we can beat Romania, France or Russia, but we are missing 3 important players.

Do you have any news about the russian doping cases in mens volleyball? I still have hope that we can go to Rio. I would clearly prefer our mens volleyball team over our mens water polo team in Rio. Even our mens basketball team might still have a tiny chance, if FIBA decides to "ban" the italian federation any time soon, although its very unlikely and wouldnt be fair for the italian national team.

No, I don't have any news. I think the decision should be made around the middle of April. And yes, if I had to choose between our Volleyball and our Water Polo team, I would have chosen Volleyball, too.

I have also hope for the German team, but it will be very difficult! 

 

Is there a livestream for the tournament? I can't find any informations about that.

Actually Australia was very weak in this tour in Europe. Serbia beat them 19:6

Big win for Canada, it keeps second place in the group open.

Canada should beat both France/Slovakia. 

 

Then a battle vs Romania for second.
