Will Italy ever start a match well from the biginning in this ECh? =.=
28% in reception and like 35% in attack O_O

Russia 2:0 vs Czech.

OMG how many post I missed!

BTW, Compliments to Bulgarian for the victory.
I'm surprised that Estonia won 3-0 over Portugal and Finland 3-0 over Belgium, I didn't expect that. I thought Belgium would have taken at least one point in this match.
And Slovenia almost risk to be third!


So, I checked that Belgium is probably out. Only if we will win 3-0 Belgium will have a chance to pass (with the point ratio), I guess (now france has 4 sets won and 4 lost, Belgium 4 sets won and 7 lost). And that will hardly happen. Poor Belgium, I apreciated that they won vs France...

Bye, Italian match is starting!

Italy won 3-0 vs Finland (that played well) and now is leading in the pool with 6 points? Good work guys! Mastro was great today!
Italy 6, Belgium and France 3, Finland 0

Czech won 3:0 vs Estonia... so now is Russia 6 Czech 5 Portugal 1 Estonia 0

Italy - even if leading 5:0 - won 27:25 the second set!
Savani 73% in attack and very important ball closed.
Mastro 11 points only in the second set!!!!!!!!!

BTW, our serve isn't working as well as it should...

Nice to see that Pol-Ita is 1:1

what an HORRIBLE start for Italy, and what a come back!!! we took the first point and then Finland always kept us 5-6 point down, till 16-21 (after 16-19), then Berruto put Birarelli in serve and it was 19-21, and eventually we was over Finland for the first time (after the first point) at 24-23, and we won 25-23. My God guys thanks for not giving up!!

Compliments Poland for the first set, now it's Bulgaria 7 Pol 4

it's a surprise to me too... but it's not bad for Italy, so I'll take it with no problem at all! Good job Belgio.
I hoped Slovenia could surprised us vs Serbia... exept in the first set (absurd result 25:9!) following through the live score the match seemed to be equal enough.
About Slovakia.... I have to admit I undervalue them, even if they won the European League I didn't expect they could handle well this tough pool but they are already qualificated for the next phase, good job!

Portugal-Russia 1:2

Serbia won the second set 25:23

Serbia won the first set vs Slovenia 25:9 O___O

Belgium-France 1:0 (31-29) and 33:34 now *___*
34:35..

France won 36-34, so now is 1:1.
Go Belgium!

yes! Belgium won the first set 31-29 ?

I don't know the whole bookmaker "rank", I read it on an article...

btw now:

France-Belgium 27-27 (go Belgioooo!!)
Portugal-Russia 15-25
Germany-Slovakia 23-25

btw for the bookmakers:
Russia 1,75
Serbia 7
Poland 8
Italy and Bulgaria 9
and at the end... Austria 250 !!! Poor guys!

if Germany will lose also today (also 2-3), winning only vs Germany (also 3-2) will be enough to be third ?
I'm sure you will pass the pool phase!! ?

@hanes, Zaytsev already shows what is capable of in serve ? 3 aces and half in a row in the 4th set? and one wasn't a killing serve, but a smart short one!

Serbia-Turkey 3-0

@kate, Russian genes never lies ;) But when I saw that photos I couldn't belive to my eyes!! Today he was the best italian player imo :)

Italy won 3-1 over Belgio!

That was an hard match, and even if of course I'm glad we won, I didn't like at all how we started the match and how we played the 3rd set, always letting them came back... they had like 4 set points!
And also in the third set we were leading 20-10 and let them score many points in a row... but it's ok, at the end we managed to won the 3rd set at that was really important, so we could won the match and took 3 points.
Best player: I'll say Zaytsev, because he was the most constant. The commentators said Savani, but at the biginning I didn't like him... while later he woke up?

About Belgium, many many compliments to Veerhes, it's seemed he was always on court, the other MB almost didn't exist and he was magically always there! Depestele did very nice sets, also to Verahnammen he play fast and short sets really effective. I liked so much also the libero, and Van der Dries that played well the first set. Later he was replaced by Van Walle that did good but nothing... out of order, if I can say that (wonderful ace on Zaytsev, tough!), at least I had this impression. Deroo contribuite very well when the coach let him join the court.
Best player: Veerhes. or Depestele

wow, compliments to Slovakia, it'sthe first of these 4 result I didn't expected.

Seems we can't undervalue the Europa League winner ?
