proud TOP 500

I've said it before - he's in a league of his own!!!

You're amazing,Roninho! Great video :D And "Set fire to the rain" ? Thank you for that :D

@Sllaveq - Аз съм се абонирала за канала ти,ще го гледам като го качиш.Не,че си падам по серийни убийци,ама...заради ефектите :D

I wouldn't put him next to Max,Ivan and Stanley,but he really was Italy's most consistent player in the WC :) Great video,zver :)

00:10 - Wishful thinking haha @Berny - The world is coming to an end!!!! :D No way you could have given her less than 5 stars though,she's an artist :) @Sllaveq,I'm glad the retirement idea seems to have passed ;) Keep 'em coming :D

@Sllaveq - Ти май имаш имен ден днес или не?Ако имаш - да си жива и здрава и много да ни радваш с клиповете си! :D :D :D

@Sllaveq,cool!Can't wait :D

"Did you know there is a specific light brightness and temperature for FIVB games." - Yep ? But apparently CEV doesn't have the same rule.The hall in Karlovy Vary,that was used for the last Euro championship had hockey lighting.
@ Wilfredo_is_Marshall - You should make a tread about such little known rules ?

@Sllaveq,show him :D BTW,are you still making the video for Max,or did you give up on it?

@Berny - just to be clear,I respect your musical taste :) My last post was a joke :D

First of all,hats off to Ball for being as cool as he is,answering random questions from fans ?
However,I disagree that Matey's technique is not good.When he was injured this year during the WL,he couldn't jump to save his life,but our team still relied on him a lot and he delivered(as much as he could)thanks to the technique,that he had developed in Italy for the past 5 years.And speaking of Italy,I know for a fact,that he is really respected over there,by fans and specialist alike,and if we know about Italians,they care about that stuff more than about a player's physical qualities and they rearly praise foreigners for the sake of it ?
I don't think that I should continue writing here,though,mostly 'cause I'll admit that it's hard for me to argue about Matey,without getting emotional(I respect him for a million different reasons outside of his sport abilities). Plus,Henrique's here now,and I have to say I'm very intimidated by his expertise in volleyball,since I'm a volleyball enthusiast at best ? On very rear occasions a post after one of his doesn't sound ridiculous,and I have a feeling mine are not gonna be one of the lucky ones ?
@Kjeldhor - nice homework ?
@RevanExtasis - thank you ?
@champion - He's one of two players in our team that has a champion mentality,but 2 are not enough...the other boys should grow some balls and stop caring,who they're up against.I'm getting tired of hearing "We can,but we don't".About the referees not backing us up,I've noticed that he never blames our loses on such mistakes.If there were some very obvious ones and he was asked about them,he always says "It's our fault,we shouldn't let such things get to us",and I can stand behind that.I'm annoyed as much as every Bulgarian when I see an ace being ruled out as "out" in a tiebreak,but he's right that big teams don't get bothered by that so much,they just win the next play.Other than that...yeah,we're a small country,the budget of our whole sports ministry is smaller than what Italy spends on basketball(why is Italy in my head so much? ?)...nothing in FIVB depends on us...etc. ...you're gonna make me cry,dude,I'm not reading your posts anymore! ? ?
"BTW this statement Matey being a second class player sounds to me a bit like reversed phychology or a way to get his confidence shaky. But may be I got it wrong." - As long as someone from sportal.bg doesn't see it and copy/paste it,I think things are under control ?
@Berny - so you don't like him.It wasn't obvious at all ?

OK,movie makers,listen up - imprint Berny's post in your brains ? You may get the coveted 5 stars !!! Or at least have a chance to get them ?
@Berny - I guess this will be the downfall of our friendship - my love for hip-hop and your hate for it haha (btw,I'm listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmbRNCqMrfA as I'm writing,no kidding ? )

@Berny - you're impossible to please with the song choice...always 4,4,4...Jeez,you're becoming predictable :D :D Great video,rafaello94,I like that the song is so weird :D

"What would Matey win in clubs without Grbic, Winiarski, Vissotto, Riad, Juantorena?" @Zyta,he probably would be the first person to agree with you ? You have no idea what a kind and humble guy he is ?

Here's what I've been thinking though,after reading a couple of posts here about teams adopting Brazil's style.I think that no copy will ever be better or as good as the original and also,don't you guys think that with this all the international championships will kind of lose their...charm,if you will?Different countries,different styles - that's what makes it exciting for me.Would I like some speed in our game?Hell yes,but if every team plays the same,then what's the point?

Well,if anything good came out of this discussion,it was Henrique's return to us ?
Hi,Henrique,congrats on qualifying for the Olympics today! ?
But how about you come back to us full time? I've always appreciated and enjoyed your volleyball knowledge and your sense of humor ?
Thank you for your wishes at the end of the post. ?

Thanks ?

@Harleym - What do you mean "for reasons that might not even be about volleyball alone" ? I'm just curious ?

@raylight - Yes,too bad he couldn't play in the WL and the WC.The match against Poland is not gonna cut it for me.I hope he gets better and gets in shape soon,I miss his elegance on the court ?
@Someone,I would never say Poland is only Kurek,imo you have several players who are much better than him,but aren't as overexposed as he is.
Max is MVP!!!Really happy for him.Also Hernandez and De Cecco!!!Thank you to all the team,for making this WC a really exciting tournament ?

The "way" the game is played depends a lot on the setter,wouldn't you say,JRios? Is Matey an old-fashioned player in Trento with Rafael,too?
