_k-is-for-kate_ TOP 1000

i also like the commentator's reaction xD

i already mentioned it in some discussion, but Muserskiy actually played in all the positions (except libero - reasons are clear) before establishing as a Middle. that also allowed Belogorie to use Dima as a spiker in several games)

my favourite moment from all EC)) that one was very classy

the Leader.

there's nobody in fact to replace him, and besides, the federation is loyal to him, so i'm 100% sure he'll not be

no way they take send off, with olympic games in two years it would be insane

raylight, you speak good russian, right?

победителей не судят. поляки молодцы, командам России и Болгарии есть чему позавидовать и чему у них поучиться.

now go italy....

poland deserved what they got, my sincere congratulations.

i don't know Alekno's reasons

but for sure, Grankin was replaced because of his permanent problem which appears in important matches especially - he started to forget himself in a game, that's why Butko went instead of him. But in the 4th set Butko definitely lacked experience and "playing practice" during the tournament. it's only my thoughts but i think that's why we lost 4th set and Grankin was back.

no, Alekno has no complaint on Butko,he showed maximum he could considering his condition

everything went wrong starting with Musersky forgot his jersey in a hotel.
as Alekno says himself "victory is a team's desert, lose is a coach's fault". that was it.

...about that thing with Apalikov instead of Musersky in the 1st set

Dima forgot his jersey in the hotel room and couldn't play till team managers brought it.
But i don't think Apalikov was bad. Also, in the interview Alekno explained that he is extremely unsatisfied with Grankin's game and has no questions to Butko, Sasha did all he could.

Revan, to get Wild Card the team should EARN wild card. Poland earned it, and what we did? screwed our huge chances. to be true #2 the team should prove it, and we don't.
again, now we have no one to blame but ourselves.

i'm not one of those people who blame judges for the loss, I think and insist that no one is guilty for that loss but us.

but speaking about referee's mistakes.. that one at the last you're discussing about was vexatious, but not decisive, by that time the game had been already lost by us.

the key mistake by judges was in the end of the 4th set (at 21:22 if i'm not mistaken) when Taras scored a point, but the ball was announced controversial and was to replay.
at that moment serbians were given 2nd chance to realize and our spirit was crashed. if you noticed, after that team russia no longer showed emotions, like Alekno once said in 2008 "you have such expression on your f*cking faces like you're ready to go to the changing room" ("у вас на е*альниках написано, что вы уже готовы идти в раздевалку"). the same was that time, we didn't cope with emotions so we lost to ourselves once again.

i wish victory to team italy.

poland have good chances to take 3rd place as well, because mental situation is exactly the same as it was in 2009.

I don't know what it was. It's a complete SHAME.
Congrats to Serbia,not they were better than us,but WE were worse then them.
I'm totally dissapointed and not gonna watch tomorrow's game.

let's just hope for best but be ready for everything... 'cause anything is possible

thanks everybody who supported us yesterday, or just gave congradulations

i feel really sorry for Kaziyski - he's a fighter, he deserves more.

congradulations to bulgaria and france))
i hope finland and poland will continue to play as well

oh my god, you really wanna go for arguement? all right then.

of course, i can't actually prove you our federation don't bribe anyone, i'm not the head of federation, nor one of the judges.but following your own reasoning:

1) neither can you prove there WAS bribing, because nobody saw anyone giving bribes, all was there was only sponsoring, or giving money strictly for organization needs

2) if you saw semi-final game Yaroslavich-Zenit of Russian Superleague'11 you would know what "a bought victory" means.

3) you said the World League first place was bought as well...no comments,just wondering if you saw team russia playing that world league.

4) again, following your thoughts, i can accuse any team for bribing as well, because there's no proof they weren't.
Particulary Brazil. There's NO WAY such players as Giba or Endres brothers or coach Rezende had anything to to with winning all those years out! they're secret is defenitely secret bribing. now prove me it's not, can you?



p.s. i don't know why you need to start this. i have suggestions about your type of person, but i prefer not to word it, in order not to be impolite.

i apologize for other users' inconvenience of seeing this rubbish in the topic, but you see, i couldn't ignore such hilarious attempt of attacking my team's honour. i promise not to keep on arguing with this ridiculously stubborn person.

cheers everybody, good EC for you)
