I wanted to know the same info. The usual host don't seem to have the rights. Use Google Chrome and get the hola extension, then go to laola1.tv, click on the little fire button in the right upper corner and choose browse from Germany. Then you can access all games. The German games will be with German commentary, just turn the sound off or listen to it  |

And to the championship itself, it will be very fun the next days! Quarterfinals the day after tomorrow (14th) will include Russia-Italy and France-Serbia. Also pretty sure Germany will beat Bulgaria in their second matchup of the tournament, the Germans were smart and lost to The Netherlands after their loss to Bulgaria in the first game, to avoid Poland in the quarterfinal. France is looking good, but lost to Serbia in an exhibition tournament 2 weeks ago, but will be a serious title contender. Italy also able to play big volleyball, especially with juantorena on the outside and gianelli is probably getting better every game he plays haha, I think they might probably beat Russia. Poland won't have any trouble vs Slovenia. Let's talk about semifinals when they are ahead  |

Upsets all around in the quarters! Host Bulgaria shows they can raise their level of play behind their fans. Who moves on? It seems that predicting these games is similar to predicting college basketball in March....but I'll guess Italy & Bulgaria moving on....with Italy taking the final W.

Shocked by Slovenia pulling it off in 5 against Poland. Gasparini is having a great tournament and Giani is coming into his own as a coach.

Gonna be a great final four. Bulgaria has the home advantage, but I think France is just playing too well right now. Their average age is pretty much 24-25 with the exception of rouzier who's 29, he's right up there with the best of the opposites in terms of consistency and efficiency, although one might not think of him as an elite right side in the mold of Anderson or zaytsev.
Slovenia and Italy will be great to watch! Italy are the big dogs with the star power, but slovenia's pin hitters of urnaut, cebujl, and gasparini all play in Italy and I don't think they will be afraid at all!
I still predict France - Italy final with France beating the Italians again.

I don't think Italy will have trouble against Slovenia, but France - Bulgaria might get interesting! My prediction is Italy wins the title vs France in 5!

Shocker from slovenia, and Gianni taking out his home country too!
France pulls it out in five after being down 0-2, crazy performance in front of the Bulgarian home crowd.
For those who has fallowed ncaa Vball the last few years, Kevin tillie was probably the mvp of the match after rouzier, Le roux, and especially ngapeth played below their level. Ngapeth converted something like less than 25% of his swings.

So France made it, but Slovenia surprised everyone. Gianelli got best setter .. only a matter of time until we are living in his world. Bulgaria had a great blocking but they are probably too old for Rio 16. Juantorena in Italy is giving them some major power, I'm looking forward to see them at the Olympics. Good tournament with a lot of new knowledge.
