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 I have no real clue about Turkey, but I guess they are stronger in team sports as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolleyRuller96 264 Posted September 14, 2019 #832 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Literally 1 week ago they were heroes, but after losing against and 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 Col_Frost 1 My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

Hopefully Jan Veselý will be back on stage :-) 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. George_D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG 2,199 Posted September 15, 2019 #836 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Spain is much more focused in defense. I don't see a way to come back in the 2nd half konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobi 947 Posted September 15, 2019 #838 Share Posted September 15, 2019 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! 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.

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 konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted September 15, 2019 #840 Share Posted September 15, 2019 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.
