Men's Volleyball CEV European Championship 2017


Recommended Posts

Konstantinov announced our roster today. Only 2 changes from the League, one of which is the return of captain Todor Aleksiev, though for me, it is going to be largely for support and experience, rather than form. We have all the current best available, so going for a medal should be the goal, but i think it is time that a final is reached, no matter how hard it may seem. We lost the golden chance 2 years ago, so it is time for a correction! :bones:

 

Setters -> Georgi Bratoev,  Georgi Seganov

Receivers -> Todor Skrimov, Todor Aleksiev, Nikolay Penchev, Rozalin Penchev

Spikers -> Tsvetan Sokolov, Velizar Chernokozhev

Middle Blockers -> Viktor Yosifov, Nikolay Nikolov, Teodor Todorov, Svetoslav Gotsev

Liberos -> Teodor Salparov, Vladislav Ivanov

France-Italy are the favorites

 

Italy won't play their best team here, I don't see them challenging any top position.

 

Winner will be France or Serbia, maybe Russia could win too if they have a good week. Poland I feel will dissapoint. Germany with Grozer comeback is a nice bet for dark horse.

Yeah, our team is a disaster :p And Zaytsev doesn't deserve the national team.. you can't whitdraw for a sponsorship reason... It's the national team, not your club!

So serbia officially without Marko Ivović :( that is certainly an upset for the competition level... at the other hand, Gyorgy Grozer announced his return to German NT :clap:

Historic night for European Volleyball coming up in Warsaw!

 

National%20Stadium%20Warsaw%20Poland.jpgWarsaw, Poland, August 22, 2017. It is going to be the experience of a lifetime – the Opening Ceremony and Opening Match of LOTTO EUROVOLLEY POLAND 2017 coming up on Thursday night, August 24 at 20:00 CET featuring hosts Poland and Serbia at PGE National Stadium in Warsaw will gather 65,000 fans to set an all-time record of attendance in European Volleyball! On top of this, Volleyball fans from across the world will be able to watch the highlights of the Opening Ceremony and this historic match on TV – and via the official CEV YouTube channel and CEV EuroVolley Facebook page for those countries where no broadcasting is planned. Make sure you spread the word and you will follow the ‘ultimate Volleyball experience’!

 

 


The Opening Match of this year’s EuroVolley will be a ‘remake’ of the match Poland and Serbia played in 2014 – on another historic night for Volleyball, when the Red-and-Whites beat Serbia 3-0 to start their triumphal march towards conquering the gold medal of the 2014 FIVB Volleyball World Championship.

Poland’s roster has undergone quite many changes since that night but it is actually more about the experience of a lifetime than about the Volleyball match in itself, which fans have to look forward to and prepare to witness!

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
