The internet volleyball community can sometimes be a wonderful place. During this year’s WCH, it has had the opportunity to really shine, but maybe its biggest hour so far has been the viral hashtag created prior to Poland’s game against Serbia, in which the Poles would have to go all out in order to guarantee a spot in the tournament’s Final 6, which it did.
A background: Poland is the current World Champions and won all of its Round 1 games. However, its Round 2 was nothing short of a disaster, after it lost games to Argentina and France. That meant that for Poland to advance, it would have to beat the mighty Serbian squad. The official Polish Volleyball Federation posted a tweet prior to the game that the team’s coach, Vital Heynen, had a “cunning plan” to do so, and so the #chytryplanVitala was born.
Polish fans tried to guess just what this “cunning” plan would be. Would Heynen surprisingly have Team USA’s Matt Anderson in the starting line up? Would he bring out the 2014 World Champion team, mainly Mariusz Wlazły and Paweł Zagumny, to play? Better yet, would he surprise fans with Wilfredo Leon ready to play for the team? Some fans even wrote songs with the hashtag. We show you the best memes:
