In a tense match of the Water polo World league between the two National teams, Serbia manages to beat Spain with a last minute goal by Strahinja Rašović, to the assist of Andrija Prlainović.

The Serbian Dolphins have won an important match of the Round two on home grounds in Novi Sad, without a few of the standard team members. A mostly young group of players lead by coach Dejan Savić was facing a very strong rival, that was  defeated during the final 45 seconds of the game. An encounter definitely worth watching.

As the competition goes on, team Serbia is continuing well in their defense of the World league crown.

Danas su određene grupe u muškoj i ženskoj konkurenciji predstojećeg Evropskog prvenstva u vaterpolu, čiji će domaćin biti Beograd. Reprezentacija Srbije brani zlato, a čitava ekipa je zadovoljna rezultatima žreba. Čelnici LEN-a, složni u stavu da je Srbija najbolji izbor za organizatora turnira.

Zna se već decenijama unazad, da je Srbija vaterpolo sila. Zna se i da su smene generacija protekle gotovo neopaženo. One koji odlaze u zasluženu penziju, nasleđuju novi, mlađi igrači, gladni pobeda i medalja. Sloga koja odlikuje srpsku vaterpolo reprezentaciju je za poželeti. Gotovo da nikada nije bilo skandala, u čijem su se središtu našli naši vaterpolisti. Ekipa o kojoj su opevane pesme, posvećivani nebrojeni dočeci, puni ponosnih i zahvalnih građana, na desetinama trofeja, čak i u najtežim vremenima.

Družina na sve spremna. Nakon fenomenalne pobede nad Hrvatskom, zlatni reprezentativci Srbije su se okupili da ukratko iskažu svoje utiske o novoj svetskoj tituli.

A short interview after winning the title.  Una pequeña entrevista después de haberse ganado el oro del Mundial.

An amazing game performed by the Serbian National team, after a strong victory against Italy, in the semifinals of the Waterpolo World Championship in Kazan.

The Serbian Dolphins have performed almost perfectly against a well known opponent, giving Italy very little room to breathe. Serbia has started strong from the very beginning, and has enforced its own pace to the other side, while scoring a steady amount of goals, from all of the angles imaginable. Even the Italian fouls were not enough to disrupt the game style of the Dolphins. A routine, but powerful finish in the second half was all that it took to make the difference in this semifinal, official.

A kind of dance in the cold pool that from afar looked so routine to the players of coach Dejan Savić, giving the crowd a chance to see truly beautiful moves and scores by Andrija Prlainović, who scored barely 2 minutes in, Živko Gocić, Duško Pijetlović, and many, many more.  It seemed that all of the game aspects have come together tonight in Kazan, allowing the Dolphins to truly show off their magic.

The next opponent is Croatia, after a penalty shoot of 13-10, against a pleasantly surprising Greece. The final will be played on Saturday, at 21:00 CET, in what is undoubtably going to be a spectacle worthy of a World Championship closing game.

The Serbian Water polo National Team is getting ready for their quarterfinal match, against the United States. The Dolphins have won all of their prior games, and have reached this next phase of the competition as first in their group. The awaited QF match will be played tomorrow, (Tuesday) at 20:30 CET, as the last match of the evening.

One of the biggest favorites for winning this year’s World championship in Kazan has played “a very good preparation match” against Croatia, before the big day.

The team members state that they won’t be falling under pressure after the statements made by the US coach, Dejan Udovičić, as well as the fact that victories aren’t guaranteed.  “We are the favorites, but that means nothing now. There can be no underestimating of the opponent. (…) Nobody will say much to them if they lose against Serbia, while our goal is the medal.”
