2014 FIVB World League

  • I think that except Latunov all other MB's are very talented and deserve to play in the World League. About the OH, I want to see Simeon Aleksandrov on the field, in a duo with Skrimov and with tactic that exploites extensivey the pipe attack. If Bratoev can't pass for pipes, another setter should replace him, we are not using the weapons we have that way.

  • Brazilian roster for WL:


    S: Bruninho, William, Rapha, Murilo Radke
    OPPs: Wallace, Leandro Vissotto, Théo and Rafael
    OHs: Murilo, Lucarelli, Lipe, Lucas Lóh and Maurício
    MBs: Sidão, Lucão, Éder, Isac, Gustavão, Maurício Souza and Douglas Souza
    L: Mário Junior and Felipe.


    No Dante (OH) and Alan (L); Théo (OPP) is back after a good season in UPCN and Bernardo still insists on Vissotto (OPP) and Maurício (OH). Filipe from Sada/Cruzeiro deserves that OH spot a lot more.

  • All rosters appeared on fivb.org :thumbsup:

  • Romanutti and Poglajen out of the 22 in Argentina :white: wow, Poglajen at least didn't deserve that.



    Also Castellani, but it was to be expected due to his recent injuries.

  • I can't believe Zibi is out again ;( Hope Antiga realises he is an important player and comeback to Wch, there is no way BOciek and Konarski betetr than him !


    Russian's cocach really surprised, c'mon such an awesome list :super: My Ostapenko and Bryukov are back !! Good to see Kovalev in the list, i just didn't exepcted Zemchenok and Smolar ( isn't he naturalised too ? so with Pavlov ony one spot ... ). No Moroz on list the quite surprising but already explained, and i am looking forward to see the battle for OH position, Sivozhelez and Rodichev and defensive players, Biryukov, Illinykh as attackers and Spiridonov and Khtey kinda 50/50.

    Libero: Dustin Watten, Alfee Reft, Erik Shoji

    YEAH! I hope to see him in the match roster :)

  • Absolutely. Filipe has played amazingly this season but still for some reason Bernardinho won't recruit him for the national team. I agree that Maurício's spot (who's been very inconsistent on Vivo/Minas) should go to him.

  • Preparing for the upcoming World League,
    Germany and Belgium just finished the third of three practice games in Belgium.


    Both teams tried out various line-ups

    Setter: Depestele Lukas Kampa
    Opposite: Tuerlinckx Jochen Schöps
    Middle: Van deVoorde, Verhees Philip Collin, Michael Andrei
    Outside: Klinkenberg, Verhanneman Christian Fromm, Dirk Westphal
    Libero: Derkoningen Markus Steuerwald


    Match 2: 3-1 (25-21, 25-17, 21-25, 25-20)
    Setter: Depestele Sebastian Hühner
    Opposite: Van den Dries Simon Hirsch
    Middle: Van deVoorde, Verhees Tim Broshog, Michael Andrei
    Outside: Deroo, Verhanneman Dirk Westphal, Björn Höhne
    Libero: Derkoningen Markus Steuerwald


    Match 3: 3-2 (25-16, 16-25, 25-23, 28-30, 15-13)
    Setter: Valkiers Lukas Kampa
    Opposite: Van Walle Jochen Schöps
    Middle: Coolman, Verhees Philip Collin, Tim Broshog

  • German roster for 1st week against Japan


    S: Lukas Kampa, Sebastian Kühner
    MB: Phillip Collin, Michael Andrei, Tim Broshog
    OH: Christian Fromm, Denis Kaliberda, Dirk Westphal, Björn Höhne, Tom Strohbach
    Opp: Jochen Schöps, Simon Hirsch

    Maybe we'll see someone in OH position play as Opp if Clark doesn't perform well :)

  • Matt Anderson was previously tested as an opposite, the last time was the Grand Champions Cup, if I am not mistaken.
