Hopefully our boys will show what they  are capable of and qualify to RIO, after all Poland will be host of their tournament Plus I hope they'll silence some haters, as after last EC some really undeserved  hate was thrown down upon them.... seasonal fans some people are

Honnestly, they deserved it. Ok, maybe not the hate (if it really came to 'hate'), but at least to be mocked. That game against Croatia was the biggest choking I've ever witnessed

Well, OK I pretty much agree about the match vs. Croatia, but they played only this one match in such terrible style . They weren't in the best shape during the whole tournament, but what I am mostly upset is that many fans, and what's even worse, professional "journalists" & "Newspapers" , especially after match vs. France were full of love & praise for them, and the expectations were gettting even higher after every match. And then suddenly big sport newspapers are calling them "dumbasses" or stating that they have shamed. I think some people after Volleyball WC 2014 thought that now every time there will be a event like this in Poland we will  finish 1st and that's why they were so upset, but it's achieving results like these on every ocasion in every sport is simply impossible     .

Official stream in internet I don't know yet. But some matches will be broadcasted in TV, so probably we have "alternative" streams.
