well, today's dynamo game with lokomotiv novosibirsk just proves my point, don't you all think?

@artko, i was watching kurek for several years, i know he is basically a national hero in poland)). i thought anastasi put some sense into his game, alas(((... russia - poland game in london sums it up well, i think (not talking about the loss to australia). it can be the same story as klose in german soccer (benched in club, plays well for the national team). i hope for poland sake, it is the story. (don't tell me the dynamo coach is bad, he beat trento with half of the team injured)
i think the real hero in polish team is your amazing libero, ignaczak

dreamandhope, i suggest you watch dynamo games against gubernia and zenit.

oioi, i'm not talking being in form, i'm talking about character. kurek is not a fighter.

i get it, it is a polish site... still, guys, you should be a little objective )). btw kurek sucks in russian league. definitely not on a par.

columbia))) my alma mater)))

not a real D1, Ivy league )))

Izmir is 2/3 Canada national team + coach.

@ someone: yes, ncaa is very good. i used to play in it, and now my daughter does :-). club tournaments are a lot of fun also :-)

russian is #1 now

i don't think dynamo has a chance without Veres in italy

canada
iran
netherlands

1. russia
2. poland
3. bulgaria

1. Tetyukhin
2. Ignazcak
3. Muserskiy

coaches do not get medals in olympics. as for alekno, it is his health. he had surgery last year. looks like it is between voronkov (lokomotiv novosibirsk) and shipulin (belogorie).

agree about rule 9

ya, i couldn't find any fresh info either

i feel i need to explain my choice of setter. it takes a lot of skills and guts (nerve) to play like grankin in olympic final. they might have practiced with muserskiy playing right side, but never in the actual game. same goes to myserskiy. as of muserskiy position, i would list him as universal. i've been watching him for several years now. he can spike, set, play defense etc

setter - Grankin
receiver - Kurek/Tetyukhin
middle - Volkov/Sidao
opposite - Mikhailov/Stanley
libero - Sergio/Lambourne
