VolleyRuller96 264 Posted August 26, 2019 #52 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) It's day 4 of group stage, so we are halfway through, and this is how the group tables look like now. Overall, the competition is way more balanced than I thought, with the exception of Pool B where the difference of level between teams is as big as I thought it would be in the whole tournament. Many teams unexpectingly show really good level, what can do in defence and especially serving is incredible Until now, only 3 teams haven't won even a set: , and , although Switzerland was very close to achieving it in yesterday's match against Russia, as they lost the first set 26-28. is also the only team that honestly feels like it doesn't belong here. Yesteday, we got another surprise as beat 3-1 and still can fight for a place in eightfinals, and today I believe we can expects more surprising results. If they continue playing like they do, should have no problem beating , which on paper is a better team but plays horrible tournament so far. (I wouldn't be surprised if they play good match against later this week, too, showed the Germans aren't untouchable.) at the other hand will play a rather difficult game against , however the Azerbaijan team doesn't show any brilliance this year, and Hungary have a bit better match history. They will also have home advantage, so nothiong's impossible. Edited August 26, 2019 by VolleyRuller96 My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted August 26, 2019 #55 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Well, at least we have the first interesting match in group B My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted August 26, 2019 #56 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Congrats Slovakia, I think at least 3rd place in the group is very possible now. Poland survived against Ukraine, but it was a very chalenging match and we really need to improve soon. hckošice 1 My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

Vektor 3,195 Posted August 26, 2019 #57 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Meanwhile I think we are pretty much done with this ECh. Maaaybe there's a chance that we can beat Croatia and save ourselves, but I doubt that we can win another match at this tournament. Hungarian volleyball continues to be an afterthought compared to the other team sports here and this ECh certainly isn't helping the sport or the Hungarian team's reputation.

hckošice 13,258 Posted August 27, 2019 #59 Share Posted August 27, 2019 So 3 matches, 3 wins, never in my life I would believe this is possible in this sport. But what a character and incredible TEAM-fighting spirit the girls showed yesterday from 0-2 to winning 3-2 ! Bravo babes for rewriting (once again in the last couple of days) the nations history of this sport, first time ever qualification for the second round Regardless of the expecting losses in the all now our next matches today against Germany, Russia and the second round match, The Goal (only few days ago almost unimaginable Secret Dream) of the team is already done and even surpassed, so no wonder the celebrations lasted a while tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
