Well, you see, raylight, I suspect we didn't do all that because we couldn't get over the pressure of playing against Russia. After the first set the boys seemed to think they just weren't able to win. Not that they don't have skills, they just made it far too easy for Russia. I just knew it that Sokolov would be brilliant vs Poland, but vs Russia he wasn't that confident. Todorov too, I'm afraid has a lot to learn, but he is a great MB, no doubt.

Why can't I overcome that bitter feeling I have since we lost yesterday?... But as raylight already pointed out Kaziyski and Sokolov are not enough against so many strong Russian players.

O, and by the way, I don't know if you guys have noticed (at least those who watched BUL-RUS) but the referees were just ABYSMAL! You just can't give the point to the other team when there was a clear block out on the fingers under the referees' nose!!! I refer to the first set where many other stupid referees' mistakes were made.

Thanks for the match, raylight. Pity we won't play any other in this tournament...

And now in the match Sokolov was in too much pressure to show what he's capable of. I'm sure if he becomes more confident, he wouldn't care against whom he will play. But I think tonight he cared...

Those people who write such nonsense about our team will NEVER be brave enough to go and say it to their faces. And the team deserves much more than respect for all the hard work they've done.

Yes, proud, you are right! We should be proud of what our boys did tonight in spite of the loss! I dread to read the comments in forums about our performance, because I know people are going to write horrible things against OUR OWN team. ?

Congratulations to the Russian team, they played well and won.
Our team fought bravely and when we took the first set I was sooo happy. I think later in the other sets we lost concentration and our serve and defense were not sufficient enough... And those MBs of Russia.....
But I have faith in our team and I know they are all great players who can show their real potential in time!

Italy-Finland 1:0 ?

One of my fav players- great Savani! :D

Spike, that's great! Hhehehheheh!

Give it a shot! Страхотна идея, много яко ще стане!

I'm looking forward to seeing this match.

Да, т'ва да чуеш указания,когато Сашко коментира е не-въз-мож-но. И как няма да се сетят от БНТ, че по-добре да има двама коментатори, както е при ВСИЧКИ други....

Ами да, той си дрънка, аз си гледам.... Дайте да правим вече тази петиция, че не ми се мисли утре какви ще ги ръси. :D

Let's not be too harsh on Aleksiev. Everyone knows he is not the best of receivers but his attack and block are really good. Today Matey was again in great form! Estonia also played well, I have to admit I did not know anything about them. We should be content, we go on, that was our goal. ?

Е, как не съм го чула това за Цецо? :D Сашето както винаги е на ниво...

Here is the statistics from the match Bulgaria-Estonia.
