proud TOP 500

So...he gets to grow up in Hawai AND have that right arm...life has been very unfair to me :P

Zyta,Uros is 197. :)

way,try upgrading your flash player :)

Thank you,thank you,thank you!!!

Insaaaane!!!!!!! Lasko is the best,though :) The others should stick to their job :P Thank you,Spike :)

Where do I sign? GIVE HIM TO US :P

I didn't mean he didn't deserve it or anything like that-exactly the opposite - liberoes don't get a lot of recognition so I said I was really happy for him :) You're right the competition is not as strong as other continental championships,but more and more countries who weren't strong in previous years are investing in volleyball (base,coaches,other specialist,etc.)and a lot of the traditionally top teams are not expected to have a strong generation so I believe we're about to witness a very interesting shift in power the next maybe...7 years?You're also right about the Americans - they only care about the Olympics,in every sport they only care about the Olympics(and usually get what they want ;) ) I'm also looking forward to the World Cup,I hope we qualify (fingers crossed) :)

RevanExtasis,thanks for all the compliments :) I saw a very poor statistic of the NORCECA final,but as far as I could see Leon was phenomenal and the fact that you guys lost the 3rd and the 4th set,but won the tiebreak speaks volume for your young team!About the point system,I can't say I'm a fan,because I don't think it's fair to get points if you lose 3:0 or 3:1. Oh,and by the way I was super pumped when I read that Gutierrez was MVP :) That's so rear for a libero to be the MVP of a match,let alone a final :)

Nena17,here : https://volleybox.net/trentino-volley-bre-banca-cuneo-m1695 Thanks to raylight ?

Really cool angle :) Simon... :(

Yeah,Kk15,Bulgarian invasion in your country :P RevanExtasis,that was awesome LOL And offtopic,what do you think about the new NORCECA point system?Congratulations on the win! :) "Mo-Mou-Mountains" - That's my favorite part :)

That reporter gets a lot of work,doesn't she?Pretty much every interview I've seen after a match in Poland has been done by her. :)

"KaziYski KaziYski KaziYski KaziYski" LOL

No,there isn't :(

You're right,raylight...unfortunately.And can you imagine how many we don't even know about?A few years ago we wouldn't really be aware of the way our juniors or the below age category were doing.Now we're exposed to more information about them,so hopefully that makes the federation a bit more careful and mindful when it comes to these kids future,but most importantly their health! I've never been one of the people that thought we'll get nowhere without Plamen(with all my love and respect for him and the 17 years of his life he's given to our NT)and I don't think that we should rely on Penchev that much,this early in his career.I've noticed that this has gotten a little bit to his head and knowing that we'll use him in the future no matter what(if he keeps this level of reception without even improving it one bit,he's still a shoe-in for the men's team)is really not healthy for his self-esteem.And that's important,because whatever the results,I've always been proud of our guys good nature,humbleness and their hard work :) About the 2006-2008 period -I think it'd be a pity if our best years were under the "leadership" of someone who treated the guys like animals and wrote a "wonderful" book to thank them for making his career.He was so f''king LUCKY to have them...Anyway,I hope our best years are coming shortly( ;) )

Comes in with an ace :) Looks so much bigger than our 19 year old players now,though...Is it just his natural build or have we been a little behind on the physical preparation with our juniors?

Because of his bear-like hands(palms) ?

Probably one of Vlado's worse matches :)

I'm sorry :) Though,I don't think that conversation would've been interesting to non-Bulgarians :)
