Do you think the polish team has chances to reach the semis?What are the expectations around this team?

Yes, we have a chance. Recently won the match with Russia.

Jan Nowakowski, brother from... ?? has he got the same skills as Nowakowksi?

no..

But Russia seems weak this year...We will see...;-)

I think that Serbia won last championship, I am not sure. But, this time maybe Poland is favorite. Anyway for me it is interesting to follow younger championships, to see future of the European vball?

In Poland Wachnik, Orczyk and Grzecznik are good.

Uros is going to own

Opposites:Ivan Ivanov(Victoria Volley),Mihael Mandzhukov(Marek Union Ivkoni)
MB:Vasil Atanasov(Victoria Volley),Krasimir Georgiev,Petar Nenkov(Pirin Balkanstroy)
Receivers?imitar Marinkov(Levski Volley),Radoslav Popov(Pirin Balkanstroy),Rozalin Penchev(Pirin Balkanstroy),Stanislav Velichkov(Marek Union Ivkoni)
Libero:Zlatko Kyosev(Levski Volley)

Chino, which players are most talented in Bulgarian squad?

Yeah but last juniors champs are not important because it was another generation, it's better to look at the youth results and Serbia is european and world champion so BIG favorite to win the gold medal again, russia was weak and didn't show anything special in friendlies, for me Spain and Bulgaria should complete the podium, outsiders are Greece,Belgium,Turkey and Poland.

vatreni for me Petar Nenkov(Pirin Balkanstroy),both setters,Ivan Ivanov(Victoria Volley)

Serbia will win this for sure, with Uros Kovacevic in team no one cant beat them!

Don't forget Krasimir Georgiev, the next Teodor Todorov

Kovacevic played the whole match, he was only substitued in the end of the third set because he wasn't playing at his best. Anyway we just crushed the european and world champion =) Very good day for us, we have one foot in the semi-finals =)

Congrats for young Belgians?

How did Belgium beat Serbia?

Wilfredo_is_Marshall In fact we were better in all aspects of the game =)
Here you can see it by yourself: http://www.cev.lu/Competition-Area/MatchStatistics.aspx?ID=24629
By the way today we celebrated our second victory, this time against Poland 3-2 =)

Belgium, in youth categories, even in senior NT, has very good and talented players, and very soon they will be candidate for medal at biggest competitions. Obviously, they work very well and produce players.

Thank you for those nice words ;-)
I also think we have a bright future ahead =)

Joachim, I only said facts and true?

But did Serbia win the Junior Championships last year! I thought they were going to win again ?

Belgium won against Russia with 3-0.. they still going for the medals ?

I hope we can reach the final! ;-) probably against Spain.

Poland - Italy 3-2 ? what a game. it was already 0-2 for Italy, but we won. tie-break 15:6!

I think the polish team is much better than the italian one but polish guys were sleeping the first two sets (maybe tired after yesterday's battle?).When they started playing at their normal level Italy couldn't come back into the game.Now with six points Poland is well placed to take the second place of the group but it won't be easy since they have to play Russia and Serbia.

joachim, can you watch the games? or just livescore?? if you could watch them, I would like to have a link ?

I could watch the games with Poland (against Belgium and Italy) and Denmark (against Turkey and Greece)
Here is the link for Poland: http://www.siatkarskaligatv.pl/
Here is the link for Denmark: http://kanalsport.dk/
I also hope Laola1 will show the semi-finals and finals! =)

Beautiful and extremely tense match between Turkey and Bulgaria 2-3 (25-22,25-22,26-28,25-27,15-17)
Two powerfull teams with Gungor and Sahin particularly impressive for Turkey and Velichkov for Bulgaria ;-)
I saw only the last three sets but I must say Bulgaria won because of better blocking and a strong side-out (good distribution of the setter).Turkey was resisting thanks to Gungor's one man show in 4th set and unstoppable Sahin in the middle. Bulgaria's weak point is their reception imo...
Congrats Bulgaria!
Final day will be extremely interesting! I don't want to explain all scenarios but Spain can still be first or second,Bulgaria too and Turkey can qualify instead of Bulgaria so tomorrow's matches will be real battles! =)

great rules Bulgaria dropped with 4:1.Turkey 3:2

Bulgaria deserved to go to semifinals...They are stronger than Turkey...Maybe Belgium won't be in semis too (with 4-1 record) so I understand your disappointement Chino...
Edit: We are in the semis! =) I'm really happy and I think it's well deserved,now we have a very difficult match against Spain in front of us...

Is serbia out or do they still have a chance for first place?

They are out since the second day of competition xD
Serbia lost four out of their five matches by 0-3 so they take 5th place of the group and have finished their ECH...

But I do not understand HOW??!!! What is Uros doing, he is suppose to be leading us to a victory!!! >: O

The rest of the team play very bad,Uros seems tired and don't play at his best too, morever serbs gave up after their inaugural defeat and they didn't want to play anymore...it seems like they didn't want to fight for victory...They lost most of the matches by themselves doing stupid errors or even letting the ball fall on the floor in reception especially...

ok thanks ?

3:1 Poland - Germany, fighting for the 5th place. Not what I had hoped for but there are better teams on this tournament. Altough there are some talents that have potential to play for the senior NT like Janusz, Muzaj, Nowakowski, maybe Lapszynski

Final: Italy- Spain Bronze medal game: Turkey- Belgium.

Do you know any site to watch it online?
