I missed the first set, btw France played better than the first match, but probably also italy worst, expecially in block I expected smth more... In the second set I didn't like Italy defence, France defended better and was often over Italy in the score but Italy managed to won the set with more focus in the topic moments and with the ability of scoring few breaks when France was over. In the third set we defended quite well but often we didn't turn it in a point with attack, there were good actions but probably in general not the best volleyball, at the end of the set for example 4 errors in serving in a row considering the two team togheter. btw, more suspence than the last time, and - most important things!!- another victory and other 3 points for Italy!!=)
MVP Hardy (MBs, he replaced Sol as titoular) with great blocks. I also liked France second libero, but I don't understand why Exiga didn't play (I don't know if he couldn't or if it was Blain choice). Good proof for Zaytsev in attack=). And Travica, again 3 aces!
Todorov - stunning blocks ... Nikolov - BOOM. I feel sorry for Kaziyski - he made 6 footfault mistakes from the serve for 2 mathes because his injury and he can't even jump - he was attacking with 35% of his jump and still making the important points.
Just amazing Portugal is the first in this group, vamos adiante Afonsocabral ?, Argentina paid back Serbia 3-0 Conte the kid conte amazing i will upload the game if any have it i record WebRip so the quality is medium to low but its ok Polsat Sport helps a lot thanks Portugal , Obrigado juan Diaz por ser cubano igual que eu XD , Congrats Argentina this WL if just a box of surprise. XD
I saw the match from the end of the second set, wonderful wonderful match!!! I really liked it, Facundo was simply AMAZING, almost everything he touched became gold, also (and expecially!) in the very important moments! And yes, Serbia committed too many errors at serve but don't think they didn't play well! Argentina was really tough!
How to describe this match? Block, block and block. Argentinean wall ? Great game of both MB's, Quiroga not so good in attack, but he kept reception, De Cecco except few balls in 3rd set good match, active in block, but Conte rocks! At the end of sets Serbia started to chase the score, but Conte didn't let him. Huge improvement during this season in Serie A.
I was not surprised by Portugal. They won the European League the last year. Every team who wins the European League, makes good tournament in the World League after that - Russia, Germany, Spain
yes Zyta, I agree! and about Quiroga, he said that he still needs to find is own rithm in attack.
Conte is a great great talent. I'm stil upset because Rome didn't even considered the idea of using him in diagonal with ZaytsevXD, I actually think he is the player we need.
JRios - Why You're disappointed Poland? This is a new team, America played the strongest team. I was even ready for the two losers Polish. Bartman play in the new position. A very important position. Bulgaria a little bit disappointed. You're right. They played the strongest team. Yesterday Nikolov won the match.

Well people i want predictions here for the match between cuba vs italy only predictions i already know thar cuba is nobody whitout simon,hierrezuelo and leal
When I speak about Italy I'm not able to make honest predictionXD
Guessing, I think that if we play well as in the first match in France we have the chance to win, but all the pressure is on our side, because is the first time that this NT will play in Italy. It's also true that the public will help us=)
I imagine it will be a good fight?
Btw, as raylight said, remember that Italy is completly changed too. Cuba misses 3/7 titoular players (setter, OH, MB); Italy misses 5/7 titoular player (setter, OH, MB, opposite and libero, but I don't know why Berruto didn't consider marra at all, he is not a veteran and he isn't injuried).
Personally I am glad that Bari gets the recognition he deserves in NT. Berruto chose him and Birrareli, because as part of Trentino they are with the right mentality of winners and they can lead the team
I am uploading a lot of games in my channel, not everyone appears here after adding, so those of you who want to watch the other games, welcome to my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/raylight234?feature=mhee
YEAAA!!! =)=)
we still didn't play perfect (we rearely blocked/defence Cuba MBs and we had problem to make our triple block work sometimes, for example), but I'm so happy, this generation change stared in the best way possible!!=)*.*
Bell impressed me, even not being tall he jump a lot and scored also vs italian triple block, unfortunally for Cuba he wasn't so intense in the third set. Leon did something great and something really stupid, I know, he is so young, but I expected smth more (not technically but psicologically), I'm not so sure that being the K helps him, I think he feels to much responsability... the setter was really predictable (Lollo Bernardi's words. He critisized him a lot because he've never try to set twice to a spiker that commetted a mistake. He didn't like him at all). Miranda never got where he had to block, he seems really lost. (Again, Lollo Bernardi almost laugh at him..). And Cuba block is really high, but lack of technique.
@luck191: I really hope, but we will see when we will face stronger teams!
@oioi: Sabbi
btw, also listening to Lollo Bernardi that showed thing that I wouldn't notice on my own, they lacked of tactical skills, and is true that in a different match you can consistly reduce, for example, the serve errors, but a tactical improve is harder...
the game was very poor for the cubans players, first of all 27 errors¡¡¡ for cuba and only 18 for italy, the italians makes good defence and good counter-attack, as Kk15 albo its only a kid he is not so faster like Simon and nobody can do the job of simon because he still the best, and for that its need many years, Second cuba in the 3rd 23-22 keibel make shi....t in the reception and Italy reaches Cuba then the game was for the italians. in general many services mistakes and sorry i am from cuba and i love my team but in this moment they are only a piece of shi.... -.- , Italy have the best Professional league and the cubans dont have the oportunities to grow abroad, i listen the polish transmition and o i dont know but they mentioned in the begining around 20 cuban players full of talented and expulse by the cuban federation and for said only, Juantorena, Marshall and Dennis and now simon its a nightmare and for raylight i dont think cuba win over italy that only is a fairy tail.
23-22 in the third set--> Don't blame your guys about that, Savani can hit the ball really really hard, probably even Henno wouldn't be able to keep that serve=)
Btw, about Miranda unfortunally for Cuba wasn't just a question of speedy itself, he was always an action after Travica.
raylight, Serbia can and have to win vs Finland also without Grbic and Milikovic in my opinion!
And it's normal, soon or later the team have to change, and the fact that an excellent player is missing can't be an excuse anymore. Usa won a match without Ball, Poland without Wlazy or Winiarski, Brazil without Dante and Murilo (ok, against Portorico...), Italy without Vermiglio, Fei, Mastro, Parodi... France lost but not because of the absence of Henno and Antiga etc.
Kk15 i think the lose of serbia is not justify, because they have the same team with the win the bronze medal in the last year over cuba (whit simon and the subchampion team) so i think they are low in concentration and they need to find new leaders inside de team, i think the setter vlado Petkovic a cold guy and Starovic( i this match good) he need to grow up more he only have 22 and like hernandez(Cuba) he are a score machine, Second Italy won over cuba because cuba dont have team to play against them and i think this new version of italy whit more concentration and whishes to play good vollleyball, Brazil againts Puerto rico well with Murilo and Dante and without they brazil always win because they have the best team in this tournament his best players always wants represent brazil because they love his country, Andrea Anastasi in a globo interview says that this love doesn happen in poland he try to talk whit other players like plinski, zagumny and winiarski and one says he have to rest and others they want time, that is one of the reason because cuba dont have player legal in other league, for they the Nt is the first priority for any player thats is because brazil always win this tournament. (Its only my opinion)
Well, obviously you think that Serbia is great team even without them, while I have my doubts. Last year they were second after Italy in the group and went only because Italy let them. At the finals they won against Argentina (A team without victory was 6th in the ranking, while Bulgaria was 7th), lost 0:3 against Russia and won 3:2 against Cuba, which was their great victory. Still don't think they are the same team without Milijkovic. They have great MB's but the second opposite although good is not Milijkovic and they don't have great receivers. I like Nikic the most, but the rest...
Korea-Frace 3:1 !! France 0 point in the tournament! while Korea took the 2nd place.
@raylight: Grbic and Milijkovic are almost impossible to replace, but they didn't won the bronze medal in world championship by themself. I don't expect this Serbia to won the WL, but I think they can gain the finals
yes I remember Matti for playing in Yoga Forlì, but I have to admit that - because I didn't know there is another Oivanen! - the first time I read Mikko O. scored 32 I thought "OMG, it's really impressive that a MB scores 32! may be the used him as opposite". then I notice there was also a "Matti"XD
As usual ... Poland could win two sets and finished with the result 0:3. I can not look at the Polish middle blockers. They attack like a girl. Especially Mozdzonek. Great match Kurek. He scores points with incredible action.
Phenomenal match Sergio and Ignaczak. Especially Sergio. I am generally happy and better game middle blockers and Bartman and Poland can to win the game.
Yes! Incredible long rally in 3rd set! I'll try to upload it.
We played a nice match, but it wasn't Bartman's day (unfortunately). If one of our players would had a better performance we could win. Anastasi did a great job. We haven't got too much good middle blockers. There was a chance to win, but Brazil is just a great team so we can't complaining.
I also think that it was quite good match by Poland. Kurek played great, he finished so many difficult actions. What a pity that he was out of game in the ends of 1st and 2nd set. Maybe he could finished these the most important balls. Fantastic match by both liberos Sergio and Igła. We need someone who would help Kurek in attack. I agree with someone: it was not Bartman's day. Attack by Polish middle blockers- no comment. We will try to win tomorrow but it would be very hard ?
@JRios
We were playing without MB because Żygadło was a setter, unfortunately he playing only right-left, i didnt saw any pipe or anything harder to set. Our MB score only 10 points in 3 sets (Kosok 4, Możdżonek 5, Nowakowski 1) and at least half was blocks;/ I didn't saw power in Możdżonek, and imo he playing terrible;/ Igła played great, but Sergio.... unbelieveable.
Japan captain Daisuke Usami: "We played nice in the first set. After that we lost our advantage and let Bulgaria win even though they did not gave us great arguments. They had neither good serve nor smooth reception. We will try our best tomorrow."
I think Bulgaria can play a lot better. Today was a lot of balls to Bratoew. He played nicely. I think Bulgaria should play more Bratoev and Penchev. Aleksiev will no longer play better.
Japan has not played badly. I think that the referee cheated in the 4th set. I have long not seen such a situation.
Russia easily won the two matches. I expected more from Germany. I see pause Grozer because Schöps game average.
Last year Aleksiev played very strong in the WL, he owned Korea and Netherlands, played good game against Brazil. He had strong season in Turkey, I hope he will get back in form soon, he is more athletic than Bratoev and he plays well against Russia usually
About Poland, I am disappointed they didn't win couple of sets, they deserved point or two in this game. Brazil should thank Visotto for driving them out of trouble ?
Great Nikolov in attack ... I'm surprised of Bratoev too, he played fantastic in every element and finally - big TODOROV again . This can block everyone, it's pity that Zhekov doesn't play with him in attack.
Zhekov didn't use MB's very much, but they used to be very efficient together. When Yosifov was best blocker in ECH 2009, he was with 67% in attack for the tournament. Tsvetanov used to make like 7/8 or so with Zhekov in spiking. Last year wasn't very successful in WCH for the MB's spikes and since then we have problems. First of all, the setting to the MB got predictable, also the MB's forgot how to play against single block. When this improves, the team will play much calmer in the important matches
great games for the poland player, they could win the 1 set but they still lose the focus and against brazil that its not an option. well they will more chances, as we know they are already qualify for the finals very good games in this Wl eveout even whitout stars Korea,Poland even filand when they lose yesterday my hope still in the ressurrection of Leon and the boys today -.-
"hope still in the ressurrection of Leon and the boys today -.- " I disagreeXDXD
I'm kidding?, of course I want italy to win but if it will be a tough match I will prefer=)
Unfortunally the only live streaming that i found of Brazil-Poland didn't work well, so I didn't see the match, but according to the result I imagine it was great... I'll download it as soon as I find it=)
I think it was our another good match. Today details were the most important. Kurek the best again. Kubiak- very good sustitution. These matches with Brazil showed that it is a long way for Bartman to become a real and good opposite. He makes too many simple mistakes during the game. Very big level of emotions during the whole match.
Our players should think about these ends of the sets, because we lost 5 very close sets this week. I think Brazil's experience was the main reason why they had won.
Generally I think that Anastasi is a good choice for Polish volleyball. We will see what would happen in Ergo Arena, but we must remember that then Brazil will be in the better shape than this week.
Poland-Brazil was the best match of this week.I agree with zaki83. Great play of Kurek.Kubiak-very good substitution.Brazil and Poland will be better shape than this week.It's truth.
that is the direct link for dowload the match i will download later i record bulgaria vs japan whit quality but the trasmition of BNT is a shi..... well not always you can find fast and quality transmision but well i record all i will upload all my matches in this days i have more time
Russians won't save such balls as the Japanese, and they don't have good reception too, since Verbov, Tetyukhin and Berezhko are missing. We have chances to take one victory away, if the players are fit. Most important is not to give points to the Germans
Yes Rachel, it was two fantastic games on high level and with great emotions! Sergio and Ignaczak were incredible, i would say, it was a really defence-fight. i wish i could see more such good games ?
cuba its oficccially out of the final round in the week 2 they will lose at least one vs france today could be our day and not happen that savani, travica and lasko in his last ball ace what a shame.
lett me see our possibilities, now italy will travel to korea cuba have to win all the matches and get at least more than 12 points a trylly odissea, the italians have to win twice againts korea and france a again, but my almost dangerous is in the pool A with USA they will win vs Brasil believe in that well its all if cuba lose other game well its all for him, its a shame will be this year the number 1 or 2 or 3 and again this.
Revan I think that if Cuba will play as today they will beat France. Hernandez, Bell, Leon played very well in attack (I really like Bell*_*), Leon also did 2 very good serve runs in tie break; albo closed 2-3 good attack, but in block he still didn't understand nothing at all... exept savani's pipe at the end of 2nd set!! usually is hard blocking savani's pipe, imagine how hard it can be if you aren't a good blocker, if the opponents have a free ball and if the player you wanna block is serving very well ( =he is in a good agonistic moment). My God, I hated himXD, he chose the worst moment for Italy to understand Travica's set! Diaz improved a lot,was more charismatic
Good match in attack for Zaytsev, unfortunally he wasn't so efficient in blocking, and in serve. Savani played quite great expept in part of the 2nd set, it was really a pity that he didn't close that pipe on 23-24 of the second set after serving with such courage!!Lasko was missing smtime but in tie break he did great, also with 2 very smart aces (while he didn't play well in service the rest of the match, expecially during 2nd set)! Travica wasn't enough precise, but he played with a lot of heart and wonderful enthusiasm. Birarelli didn't play very well, he committed few free mistakes, also that serve on 20-23 in third set, but he always "come back"=). Buti good match but that's it. Very good serve run of Baranowicz, while I didn't understand Berruto's choice to send Sabbi on serve when we were like 22-24 in 4th set, I don't like when you give to a player that wasn't fighting on the court the responsability of serve (if it's jumping serve. it's ok with jump-float)
If USA will take second place in our group on of the second teams from other groups with less points will be out of F8. I have to check group, because I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprise if only Italy will get to the final form this group.
@ Zyta I tought the same, but now the most equilibrated is the one with Arg, Por, Fin, Srb, the only one where nobody won or lose 4/4.
But, assuming that Russia and Brazil will get the first place, even this is not such easy for them, I think that Bulgaria, Usa (if Poland don't get the second place) and Italy (if we don't get the first place) will manage to reach the final8.
@Jrios I though the same. But honestly Leal his replaced well, the real problem is the huuuuuuuuge different Simon-Albo. really, it seems almost a joke trying to comparise themO.o
you are right kk15 simon is the best who have been cuba in many time since Ihosvany Hernandez the ex-captain of cuba and at the time was considered the best player for cuba of all times in his position, but well cuba will be considered now the option cuba=professional leagues. they have to do it its the only option to come back to the best team in the world. i dont worried about usa or bulgaria, bulgaria the next week will lose one of the games with russia and usa will lose the two( i hope so they dont have ball for fight whit brazil) and cuba have to win the 2 games and reach 10 points
so usa get in 9 and bulgaria in 9 or 12 whateever usa its the most without possibilties againts brasil and cuba its have to win all the matches they left for have any chances for reach the imposible final eight.
Btw Kk15 i should count whit you tv game of this last match???
Kk15 true, Argentina have big advantage with 9 points, after them is Serbia with 6, but everything can change. But I think Argentina will get to the F8, they play better match by match.
I hope Argentina will, I like them=)
btw, it's hard making pronostics after only 2 weeks, may be after the third weeks the situation will be more defined...
Ale, I agree=) Korea was a great surprise to me, I thought they didn't had chance to get the final8. But i like it, it's make the things more interesting (but i won't like it anymoreif they will beat Italy!!)
my philosophy is to trust always in your team, even when you know that it will be un impossible mission! btw, in this case I wont' bet they WILL win, but I definitly think they at least CAN, if they play with this enthusiasm=)
the cuba media make a point for this week. they said as i know that this will be the definining week for cuba if they lose is over, even when italia wins over korea usa its seems dificoult to for brasil even wihout ball the americans wants to win at least one game and this could be hard but not impossible
Cubaaaaaaaaaaaaa still believe in the Finals 3-1 Take that France and We see the Resurection of WIlfredo Leon 28 points just amazing i record the game and i will upload in inside volley love and peace everybody and go Italy 3-0 for korea.
Ops Rachel I was about to give you a "minus" to mean "noo, I'm sorry about that, I don't like it"XDXD
"go Italy 3-0 for korea." --> I wish=)=) This time we will follow the same team?
France, 5 match, 0 points O.o
I checked the result, 27-29, 27-25, 23-25, 31-33, I have to imagine it was a fight match!!
Samica on the tribun! Tuia still in the starting six.. Rouzier is back (was it a choice of Blain to don't let himgoing to Korea or he had some problem?); Exigà still on the bench.
Stoychev failed the match. Nikolov and Kaziyski should have rested and Sokolov and Ananiev should have played, not to mention the silly dropings of the ball instead of hitting the fingers of the block
And you think we could have won without Kaziyski and Nikolov?Come on...With Aleksiev failing every reception we can't win anything.This time Zhekov played much with the MB's but the balls weren't good enough.It was sad for me to watch Kaziyski jumping 10% because of his injury but he can't be replaced...All the troubles were in reception and we must work on that.Hope tomorrow we will do better.
Of course we should have played much better without Kaziyski and Nikolov. Prandi won in Khabarovsk with Metodi Ananiev. If we have played with him, Gadzhanov and Sokolov, we could have won at least 1 point today
I expected this result. Bulgaria now playing poorly. I wait for the highest form of Bulgaria. I am wondering if Stoychev actually improve the game Bulgaria. Prandi nicely composed team. We'll see how it will do Stoychev. Obviously, this is only the beginning of the season but I think Bulgaria with Stoychev can play worse than with Prandi.
Bulgaria in full squad will be better than previous years, because we have Todorov, but now we are missing three vital players and is very tough. Only 6% in reception!
I can't understand which retard has negotiated our dates and places for the matches. We started with Germany, we had less time for Russia, Russia is playing 4 times in a row as a host - WTF?!!
NitghFox we said the same last year "we will judge after WC - this is our main goal" and we all remember how it ended for my NT ?
Ananiev wouldn't beat alone Russia if he would be in shape. Nikolov and Kaziyski would do this MAYBE both together. Russia is to strong now to be crashed by Ananiev and let me rmeind you they played without half of first squad - Musersky, Grankin and Spiridonov.
before start the world league all the people know the problems of bulgaria 4 players in the final of scudeetto 2 of them essencialls for the team include the DT after comes the new of salparov injury sorry but the actual libero of bulgaria doesnt compare whit the great guy named salparov , Second the problems of shape and the good shape of the russians they end his league 2 weeks before the finals in italy BTW russia have a team more complete than the bulgarians, anyways bulgaria have a objective qualified for the final round and they need still focus for that . because team like cuba and usa cant be more 2nd place than bulgaria but i think bulgaria will pass this task his best MB its so young nothing compare wiht apalikov and i dont uderstand why muserski dont play this matches, i know apalikov is member of zenit but musersky is a starter member of the Rusia NT he deserve play and not because Alekno his the coach of apalikov in zenit he can play all the matches for me whit all Muserkky is one million times better than Apalikov is all i have to say about this match
Love and Peace.
Revan, actually Todorov was better on block than Apalikov, the difference is that the Russians saved a great number of blocks from him, and we saved none
you can say todorov is better than apalikov but the numbers show us a diferent history maybe apalikov never blockes todorov and todorov block twice apalikov for example, but apalikov block almost all the team and helps more in the block that todorov i think the problem was the defense of bulgaria and of course the reception,kasysky is not a receiver he could be the best player of Europe but he dont receive nothing good and aleksiev its almost the same thing besides MiKhaylov play more better than both so i hope at least bulgaria win the second game or at least try but at this time i dont believe in his victory rusia in this moment is the only can try beat brazil whit all the guns .
Revan, it depends what kind of hits someone blocks. Todorov can block anything, he is not waiting for the opponent to make mistakes, also Russian hitters today were more powerful than Bulgarian. It depends from the reception of the opponent, the setting and so on. He often makes block in the most important moment to bring victory or to equalize the result. Trust me, Apalikov was no way near Todorov and will not be. Only Simon and Musersky can block like that in today's volleyball. Todorov with 23 blocks for 18 sets! And he is freshman in the NT, virtual no experience at national level
well you have you point of view and i have mine besides you should know more about you team and well thanks for reminds Simon is the best even when he dont play more in the NT XD
Nope, Brazil and Russia don't. Look at their players. Everyone is important player in big championship and has either lot of experience or incredible physique. Both countries have 150 mln people demographics, both are multuethnical and multicultural, basically infinite source of potential stars
Revan, no one can argue with numbers: So far Todorov beats Apalikov 23:11 without making analysis in which moment is the block, against what type of player and spike it is, what was the setting and so on ?
We played very confidently and that win wasn't threaten at all. If somebody would like to watch this match I can say that almost anything interesting happened. There were two lucky and spectacular digs by Puerto Rico- one of rallys won Puerto Rico, one Poland.
raylight if Rezende tell that Marlon if FIRST setter and his son SUB [it was in 2010], I prefer to listen him, than you. If Alekno say that Biryukov with his game deserved for place in FIRST squad it means, they have second squad and I prefer listen to him, than you and your excuses.
Anyway I feel bad, because first time in my life I felt asleep during match of MY team. Time for my excuses - everything because of Rican's mistakes, match was boring!
Zyta, I root for Poland, desperately! You can take the second place and help us go to Poland, where you public can cheer for the boys in White and Red ?)
Zyta, I understand you ?, I was about to falling asleep during Korea-Ita (1:3) third set!
The match wasn't so exiting, in the first set - even if point to point - nothing special, because there were only short rallies. Korea deserved it, jeon was great and we played quite good but we didn't serve really hard. I have to say that I expected great things from Korean defence but was probably the less interesting thing (while their reception surprised me). I still don't like how we block (and defende) other team MBs, they scored to often. If we wanna fight vs team like Russia (hoping we will get the final8) we really need to improve it.
Amazing match in attack of Zaytsev, while I wasn't impressed by Birarelli performance.
raylight, you talk only about todorov, he block many times.. so?? did he win the match? NO,
Butko ran the game equally, everyone scored about 10 points, of course without setter and libero,I am impressed, grat Butko, btw, he isn't worst than grankin
Saku, Todorov made 4 points in a row to draw the result 12:11 for us, what do you expect from him, to score 30 points and beat whole Russia team, when the others play cowardly?
Kaziyski really should take a rest. Stoychev is butchering him, just look at Mariusz Wlazly who was samely butchered by coaches and now he can't play all season and has to pass the NT.
raylight, you dont understand me, and you still talk abut Todorov, it's no sense, you are trying to prise your team and you dont have base for this, todorov is a middle, he never will win the match alone, and you still think he can..
Bravo Knipe for keeping on court Stanley, who played bad, definitely it wasn't his day. Bravo Suxho for set to Clay every ball, which he screwed, while you had Anderson on left.
Bravo Brazil for playing consistently.
I miss Bruno from Modena.
hI GUYS and cuba is rising again if today ivan zaystev make 25 points againts korea Leon make 29 against Francia XD and well i have to ask all the people write to simon and send his congratulations for his birtday come on guys show support for one of the best in his birthday https://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100001193886940 he is his facebook page good luck for all and god luck for cuba
Another victory for our team. A lot of mistakes- Poland don't playing too good, expecialy spikers. But we scored a lot of points by a block (over 15 I think). Interesting plays: a few rallys (both teams fighted for every ball) and funny Łukasz Żygadlo serve.
Zygadlo had today not only vball, but also long-distance running... anyway good that he used Mb's in transition if he couldn't in first action. We have problem - no sub for Bartman, Jarosz got the chance tonight, but finished one attack and please let just no one tell me it's because he is a sub, I may understand if he would have problems at the beginning of being on court, but he is an opposite, he SHOULD finish attack on single or without block. For matches in Poland I would take Janeczek instead of him or maybe Gruszka will be ready.
Korea-Italy 2-3
We play almost perfectly in the firt set, and well in tie break exepct at the end, but we lost focus and character in the other sets, also in the second, that we won, we weren't so determinated... And we let them won the 4th set when we can close the match with less troubles.
Today, Korea defended really better than yesterday; Jeon kept playing well, while Zaytsev was good but definitly less than yesterday (he was blocked three time! and he was also well defended). Travica other 3 aces! 13 total=)
best players... I'll say Buti for Italy (or Travica...) and Jeon or Yeo (the libero) for korea...
yes he had to stay on the bench part of second set and all the rest of the match, he felt pain (probably only muscolar) on the left (I think and hope) shoulder after a dig. But he has to wait to get in Messina for the analysis...
yes, but I had the impression is not a bad injury, I hope I'm not wrong. Also Kovar got injuried playing with the B NT, so if Savani can't play vs France (probably he won't, so I read) I imagine Colaci will be used as 4th receiver... I also read that Birarelli will probably be out for turnover the next week, but I don't know if that will happen, expecially if we have to play without Sava...
its done Usa make history one more time again brazil,and well its seems that the future of brazil of thw world domination is close to end, if brazil whit this players los wiht a great usa whitout ball and this young boy anderson its done. brazil needs fresshman, they only use guys like giba 35 or murilo 30 for they he his the best player in the world... you are kiddin right -.- ? and whit grandpha Sergio i dont think brazil win the olympics in only 4 set usa show again the great team they are. well know usa whit 11 points i hope poland beat usa at least one time and helps cuba, well cuba its not the only whit problems Bulgaria and Serbia to this last whit one pont more. come guys reach the finals i still waiting ?

I missed the first set, btw France played better than the first match, but probably also italy worst, expecially in block I expected smth more... In the second set I didn't like Italy defence, France defended better and was often over Italy in the score but Italy managed to won the set with more focus in the topic moments and with the ability of scoring few breaks when France was over. In the third set we defended quite well but often we didn't turn it in a point with attack, there were good actions but probably in general not the best volleyball, at the end of the set for example 4 errors in serving in a row considering the two team togheter. btw, more suspence than the last time, and - most important things!!- another victory and other 3 points for Italy!!=)
MVP Hardy (MBs, he replaced Sol as titoular) with great blocks. I also liked France second libero, but I don't understand why Exiga didn't play (I don't know if he couldn't or if it was Blain choice). Good proof for Zaytsev in attack=). And Travica, again 3 aces!

edit: I've read on volleyball.it that they actually weren't always constant in blocking and serving
Portugal-Fin: 3-1
last match of the week-end: arg-srb
I saw the match from the end of the second set, wonderful wonderful match!!! I really liked it, Facundo was simply AMAZING, almost everything he touched became gold, also (and expecially!) in the very important moments! And yes, Serbia committed too many errors at serve but don't think they didn't play well! Argentina was really tough!
Conte is a great great talent. I'm stil upset because Rome didn't even considered the idea of using him in diagonal with ZaytsevXD, I actually think he is the player we need.
Wlazły is resting after the hard season and is treating injuries
(sorry, I'm not sure I can write the link here, I hope it's not a problem...if someone wants to upload it in the site is not a problem at all!)
btw, the second match Italy-France: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H027OZL9
I think Portugal will finsh in 2nd/3rd place at the end of continental run
Guessing, I think that if we play well as in the first match in France we have the chance to win, but all the pressure is on our side, because is the first time that this NT will play in Italy. It's also true that the public will help us=)
I imagine it will be a good fight?
Btw, as raylight said, remember that Italy is completly changed too. Cuba misses 3/7 titoular players (setter, OH, MB); Italy misses 5/7 titoular player (setter, OH, MB, opposite and libero, but I don't know why Berruto didn't consider marra at all, he is not a veteran and he isn't injuried).
edit: I've just read that Kaizisky has to rest for 3-4 days because of his backache...
poor Yosi too!
we still didn't play perfect (we rearely blocked/defence Cuba MBs and we had problem to make our triple block work sometimes, for example), but I'm so happy, this generation change stared in the best way possible!!=)*.*
Bell impressed me, even not being tall he jump a lot and scored also vs italian triple block, unfortunally for Cuba he wasn't so intense in the third set. Leon did something great and something really stupid, I know, he is so young, but I expected smth more (not technically but psicologically), I'm not so sure that being the K helps him, I think he feels to much responsability... the setter was really predictable (Lollo Bernardi's words. He critisized him a lot because he've never try to set twice to a spiker that commetted a mistake. He didn't like him at all). Miranda never got where he had to block, he seems really lost. (Again, Lollo Bernardi almost laugh at him..). And Cuba block is really high, but lack of technique.
@luck191: I really hope, but we will see when we will face stronger teams!
@oioi: Sabbi
btw, also listening to Lollo Bernardi that showed thing that I wouldn't notice on my own, they lacked of tactical skills, and is true that in a different match you can consistly reduce, for example, the serve errors, but a tactical improve is harder...
Btw, about Miranda unfortunally for Cuba wasn't just a question of speedy itself, he was always an action after Travica.
(but I warn you, the italian commentator with Bernardi is an idiot, he often mixed the names of the players=.=)
Russia won 3-0 over Germany, but according to the score I imagine it wa a tough match.
raylight please, Serbia can win with Finland without Nikola and Ivan.
Portugal - Argentina 0:3
And it's normal, soon or later the team have to change, and the fact that an excellent player is missing can't be an excuse anymore. Usa won a match without Ball, Poland without Wlazy or Winiarski, Brazil without Dante and Murilo (ok, against Portorico...), Italy without Vermiglio, Fei, Mastro, Parodi... France lost but not because of the absence of Henno and Antiga etc.
Portogallo-Argentina 0:3 =)=)
Korea-Frace 3:1 !! France 0 point in the tournament! while Korea took the 2nd place.
@raylight: Grbic and Milijkovic are almost impossible to replace, but they didn't won the bronze medal in world championship by themself. I don't expect this Serbia to won the WL, but I think they can gain the finals

5:2 of third set: AMAZING long rally!!! someone should upload it!!
Brazil-Poland 3-0
but compliments to Poland too^^
Phenomenal match Sergio and Ignaczak. Especially Sergio. I am generally happy and better game middle blockers and Bartman and Poland can to win the game.
Yes! Incredible long rally in 3rd set! I'll try to upload it.
What Mozdzonek do in Poland team
We were playing without MB because Żygadło was a setter, unfortunately he playing only right-left, i didnt saw any pipe or anything harder to set. Our MB score only 10 points in 3 sets (Kosok 4, Możdżonek 5, Nowakowski 1) and at least half was blocks;/ I didn't saw power in Możdżonek, and imo he playing terrible;/ Igła played great, but Sergio.... unbelieveable.
Portugal-Argentina 1-3 (arg9; port5; fin4; srb3)
What arrogant statement!
Japan has not played badly. I think that the referee cheated in the 4th set. I have long not seen such a situation.
Russia easily won the two matches. I expected more from Germany. I see pause Grozer because Schöps game average.
Korea-France 3-1, again! So Korea 9 point as Italy, Cuba 3, France 0.
Now I have to say that I'm a little bit worried about Korea...
Except 4th set when Puerto Rico was to tired, great match, amazing Soto and great match of Anderson, he scored point with face, like Cepeda ?
I'm worry about France, if they won't wake up, they may say 'goodbye' to WL for next season.
I'm kidding?, of course I want italy to win but if it will be a tough match I will prefer=)
Unfortunally the only live streaming that i found of Brazil-Poland didn't work well, so I didn't see the match, but according to the result I imagine it was great... I'll download it as soon as I find it=)
Our players should think about these ends of the sets, because we lost 5 very close sets this week. I think Brazil's experience was the main reason why they had won.
Generally I think that Anastasi is a good choice for Polish volleyball. We will see what would happen in Ergo Arena, but we must remember that then Brazil will be in the better shape than this week.
that is the direct link for dowload the match i will download later i record bulgaria vs japan whit quality but the trasmition of BNT is a shi..... well not always you can find fast and quality transmision but well i record all i will upload all my matches in this days i have more time

Travica again closed the match vs Cuba=)=)
Good match in attack for Zaytsev, unfortunally he wasn't so efficient in blocking, and in serve. Savani played quite great expept in part of the 2nd set, it was really a pity that he didn't close that pipe on 23-24 of the second set after serving with such courage!!Lasko was missing smtime but in tie break he did great, also with 2 very smart aces (while he didn't play well in service the rest of the match, expecially during 2nd set)! Travica wasn't enough precise, but he played with a lot of heart and wonderful enthusiasm. Birarelli didn't play very well, he committed few free mistakes, also that serve on 20-23 in third set, but he always "come back"=). Buti good match but that's it. Very good serve run of Baranowicz, while I didn't understand Berruto's choice to send Sabbi on serve when we were like 22-24 in 4th set, I don't like when you give to a player that wasn't fighting on the court the responsability of serve (if it's jumping serve. it's ok with jump-float)
But, assuming that Russia and Brazil will get the first place, even this is not such easy for them, I think that Bulgaria, Usa (if Poland don't get the second place) and Italy (if we don't get the first place) will manage to reach the final8.
@Jrios I though the same. But honestly Leal his replaced well, the real problem is the huuuuuuuuge different Simon-Albo. really, it seems almost a joke trying to comparise themO.o
so usa get in 9 and bulgaria in 9 or 12 whateever usa its the most without possibilties againts brasil and cuba its have to win all the matches they left for have any chances for reach the imposible final eight.
Btw Kk15 i should count whit you tv game of this last match???
btw, it's hard making pronostics after only 2 weeks, may be after the third weeks the situation will be more defined...
Ale, I agree=) Korea was a great surprise to me, I thought they didn't had chance to get the final8. But i like it, it's make the things more interesting (but i won't like it anymoreif they will beat Italy!!)

and 3rd, 4th, 5th sets:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0QMM9WMP
"go Italy 3-0 for korea." --> I wish=)=) This time we will follow the same team?
France, 5 match, 0 points O.o
I checked the result, 27-29, 27-25, 23-25, 31-33, I have to imagine it was a fight match!!
Samica on the tribun! Tuia still in the starting six.. Rouzier is back (was it a choice of Blain to don't let himgoing to Korea or he had some problem?); Exigà still on the bench.
to be honest i expected bulgarians to fight better..anyway,i'm satisfied with the result..))
Ananiev wouldn't beat alone Russia if he would be in shape. Nikolov and Kaziyski would do this MAYBE both together. Russia is to strong now to be crashed by Ananiev and let me rmeind you they played without half of first squad - Musersky, Grankin and Spiridonov.
Love and Peace.
We played very confidently and that win wasn't threaten at all. If somebody would like to watch this match I can say that almost anything interesting happened. There were two lucky and spectacular digs by Puerto Rico- one of rallys won Puerto Rico, one Poland.
Anyway I feel bad, because first time in my life I felt asleep during match of MY team. Time for my excuses - everything because of Rican's mistakes, match was boring!
Zyta, between the first and the second setter, the difference in Brazil and Russia is small. In Bulgaria is huge. Same for libero
The match wasn't so exiting, in the first set - even if point to point - nothing special, because there were only short rallies. Korea deserved it, jeon was great and we played quite good but we didn't serve really hard. I have to say that I expected great things from Korean defence but was probably the less interesting thing (while their reception surprised me). I still don't like how we block (and defende) other team MBs, they scored to often. If we wanna fight vs team like Russia (hoping we will get the final8) we really need to improve it.
Amazing match in attack of Zaytsev, while I wasn't impressed by Birarelli performance.
Butko ran the game equally, everyone scored about 10 points, of course without setter and libero,I am impressed, grat Butko, btw, he isn't worst than grankin
BTW why you changed your t-shirts? those green were great and now I see only "fake Poland"! ?
5th victory/5 for Brazil, all for 3 points
Did Nikolov injuried?O.o
Bravo Brazil for playing consistently.
I miss Bruno from Modena.
Serbia won 3-0 overo Portugal, alleluja!
Another victory for our team. A lot of mistakes- Poland don't playing too good, expecialy spikers. But we scored a lot of points by a block (over 15 I think). Interesting plays: a few rallys (both teams fighted for every ball) and funny Łukasz Żygadlo serve.
AVE Kubiak!
We play almost perfectly in the firt set, and well in tie break exepct at the end, but we lost focus and character in the other sets, also in the second, that we won, we weren't so determinated... And we let them won the 4th set when we can close the match with less troubles.
Today, Korea defended really better than yesterday; Jeon kept playing well, while Zaytsev was good but definitly less than yesterday (he was blocked three time! and he was also well defended). Travica other 3 aces! 13 total=)
best players... I'll say Buti for Italy (or Travica...) and Jeon or Yeo (the libero) for korea...
I'm glad you care of?
Serie A finished season and World League started already, your team need you, so be nice and get back from Modena.
Your sincerely,
Zyta.
