Man, tell me about that. 4 tournaments, each with 6 teams and only winner of each tournament makes it? That is gonna be god damn tough. But in my opinion, based on the WCH 2019 result, Czechs might be in Seed Basket 1 altogether with the strongest teams. So if they go to the tournament from Basket 1, should be potentionally strongest to qualify. But honestly, if they gonna play again against Serbia or Turkey? Well, you never know. But I trust them. Hopefully Jan Veselý will be back on stage :-) 

 

well, if you get Serbia, then it´s game over. we "team sports" mortals can beat them only in hockey :d I have no real clue about Turkey, but I guess they are stronger in team sports as well

Literally 1 week ago they were heroes, but after losing against :CZE and :USA our boys already get hated on by some people, that`s just sad :( I still think they achieved something great, especially considering how big this sport is. I hope they won`t care about the haters and keep being awesome :d

 

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

I think the seeding will be according to FIBA rankings, so not only FIBA WC will be important. I can't see Czechs getting into that first pot. But it was a great result for you at the WC. And without Vesely in the lineup. Huge.

Spain is much more focused in defense. I don't see a way to come back in the 2nd half :dunno:

It's only getting worse in the 2nd half :( 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! :champion::champion:

 

I think nobody here in Spain expected this a few weeks ago, but it is incredible to win this title 13 years after the first time. The only thing I am sad is not having Pau Gasol in the roster, because he deserved this more than anyone else. :bounce:

I am sure Spanish players played for Pau also. Incredible performance for Spain without Abrines, Mirotic and S. Rodriguez! It seems this team has fantastic chemistry and this also should attributed to coach Scariolo as well. 

 

Congratulations to Argentina also who continue to play in high level for years after gold generation players almost all except Scola retired. I am sure that campazzo, Laprovitolla, vildoza and deck will go on to carry the team at world elite in following years

Gasol was simply unplayable today, Scola and Delia couldn't defend him nor get around him in defense unlike what happened with Jokic or Gobert in the previous games. 

 

Also our team's 3pt% was completely absent today and when that happens  Argentina can't compete with the big size teams.

 

All in all a great tournament. Probably this bad final will make the average sport fan and the media here forget about the team by tomorrow but they did something completely unexpected.

    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname     
    • Hurricane helene is coming , let's hide behind Nitraria  Only smart one will understand what i mean
