you know we needed something to bridge the gap until the VNL.
you're welcome.
there should be plenty of ex-NCAA players here.

Who are the teams to watch? This should be fun! I think it depends on the rosters (it's right after the CL & French season) I think Switzerland could be very good. Sweden could be exciting if both Haak's join.

Under normal circumstances this qualification would have happened last year correct?

The Czech and Slovenians are sending their A teams. (the Czechs are playing friendlies with Poland this week)
I hope to see other teams send strong lineups.

I'm just soooo unfamiliar with these teams that I don't feel comfy making a prediction. Should be fun to watch. Some of these teams have star players in big pro leagues which should help if they end up on the roster.

Sweden wins thanks to Haak dropping 40 every single match. Done.
EDIT: I guess they advance to the European Championships or something but she'll still need to drop 40 every match.

Getting to the Euro's would be a big accomplishment for them. They have a decent group as well. Portugal and Georgia are beatable.

I would think Belarus, Ukraine, Czech Rep, Slovenia, Spain, Greece and Hungary would easily qualify. The fun pools appear to be pools B and E where any of those teams could nab that second slot. Remember that FIVB ranking isn't the same as CEV ranking so that makes things even more fun IMO.

I saw on an IG post that the matches were going to be the 2nd and 4th week of May
but Sweden's site still says May 7-9 and May 14-16 so who knows
Sweden's release also says they're calling up Haak... and that's all that matters

I just remembered Anett Nemeth blew out her knee, that's bad news for Hungary... I'm pretty sure she was their starting opp in 2019.
also can we talk about CEV's website redesign... i hate it so much
