    Wow. What a sport this is. First Tournament I’ve followed outside Olympics. I really wish our Olympic Federation put more money into different team sports Volleyball, Handball etc. Instead we keep investing into our “Once Golden-Era” sport Rowing, whom in which we continually underperform and disappoint.

    Today, we just played very, very bad, especially Leon and Kubiak. Our commentators of course tried to search for various reasons, like referee being one sided (really? when? ) or the sudden change of stadiums (which we did three times already in this tournament), but the truth is this was probably our worst match in this entire season.
     
    I couldn't for the life of me understand Heynen's decisions.. why did he not make basically any substitutions? we have a young, talented "B" team which earlier this year won bronze medal of the Nations League, why wasn't any of those boys given a chance ?
     
    Slovenia now eliminated us from the EuroVolley for the 3rd time in a row but wow, the way they play is amazing, I really wouldn't be surprised if they managed to win the European Championship. I think no matter the outcome of the second semifinal, I will cheer for them in the final, it's time for a new country to win the Euro again

    In turn, it seems to me that Poles will not have it as easily as on the way to the semi-final. Slovenians are also on the wave and the whole audience will be behind them (in all matches of Poles there were quite a few fans from the country on the Vistula). In addition, if Slovenia will have such a dangerous service as in the match with Russia, and the Poles will not have a party then it can be different. I also remember that two years ago we were on the wave during the European championships at home, so we neglected Slovenes in the play-off and lost 0: 3 to them smoothly.But in the second match I think that the French who are on the wave and with their audience will defeat the Serbs. However, knowing the feisty Kovačia so easily do not let you win with three-colored.

    This is how Google's Search Engine Metrics calculate the popularity of some of the Olympic Team Sports for the last 5 years, the results seem pretty realistic, but I wonder what Totallympics users think of their accuracy

    Some quick side notes:
     
    1) I decided not to include football, because it would surely take the 1st place in 99% of countries
    2) This is a list mostly of summer sports, but I also included Ice Hockey, because other not included summer team sports like field hockey turned out to be barely noticable on the graph.
    3) For the "Breakdown by sport" part I decided not to included data from smaller countries, because it was more difficult to tell different shades of colors apart.

    If you're interested, you can check the interactive version here: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?cat=20&date=today 5-y&q=%2Fm%2F018w8,%2Fm%2F03tmr,%2Fm%2F07_53,%2Fm%2F03krj,%2Fm%2F0crlz You can customize time range, check out the results from your own country or any other country (and even from small regions in each nation)  Overall pretty interesting tool

    Info:


    Time graph - here is a overwiew of how the popularity changed through time. You can easily tell when important competitions took place for each sport, and how it boosted its popularity. To the right is the average popularity each sport enjoyed during the last 5 years. Basketball is easily the most popular sport, then volleyball, then Ice Hockey.


    Breakdown by region - This shows what sport was the most popular in what country in the last 5 years. Color depth represents advantage of interest over 2nd most popular sport. (I recommend visiting the Google Trends page, because some countries are barely visible on the map. Also, it provides deeper insight - if you hover your mouse over a country, you can get data about all the other sports.)



    Breakdown by sports - finally here is a series of maps that provides information on how popular the sport is in a given country. Color depth represents popularity - the more deep the color, the more popular is the sport. As I said before, I did not include smaller countries, with low ammount of search info, because it would make it more difficult to view the map. The details on some maps are already hard to notice... Once again, I suggest clicking the link to get more in-depth information.

    BASKETBALL

    ICE HOCKEY

    VOLLEYBALL

    HANDBALL

    WATER POLO

    Most of the winners can be predicted quite easily, but I think vs and vs will be the matches to watch
     
    Any of these teams could get far into the tournament, even though had no big successes in men's volleyball lately and underperforms so far I think both teams are very talented and present a good level of skills. vs will, in turn, eliminate one of the teams that were heavy pre-competition favorites for at least quarterfinals.
     
    Personally, I also think may not make it to the quarterfinals this year, showed some good volley and I wouldn't be surprised if they caused a sensation.

    Another group, another dramatic conclusion... lacked a total of 2 sets in the whole tournament to qualify for the eightfinals, such a shame, because this previously unknown  team proved it's dangerous and able to play on a high level.
     
    At the other hand, I'm happy for especially since their fans are amongst the best ones in European volleyball
    Overall, Group C turned out to be easily the most interesting one.

    I feel bad for , they love volleyball and their amazing fans were the highlight of the championships... they are usually much stronger than this They will now most likely end the Euro as the 24th ranked team, the only one that didn't get at least one point in the group stage. Even Austria managed to accomplish this
     
    Still, today they played like they don't care... maybe they just wanted this European Championship to end, but really, that's unfair to such a awesome group of fans. I think Gheorghe Cretu will get fired, too, so we'll see what happens to this team. Overall they are easily the biggest disappointment of the competition.

    Big congratulations to ... they knew they already don't have basically any chance of qualifying, but still they played their hearts out and because of it they eliminated
    Such a dramatic turn of events for all teams, as , and had the same amount of matches won, points,. AND identical set ratio That doesn't happen very often.
     
    Congratulations to , which turned out to have the best small point ratio and therefore qualified to the next round.
