World League 2012

Quote from bella

What's with Biryukov?

Alekno didn't say nothing about him but probably resting

As far as I could understand from an interview of BFV's president from today (it was written quite unclear) our team list of 14 players has been probably already sent to FIVB by assistent Camilo Placci, the squad has been formed previously with Stoychev's approval, but there is no further information about this question - it was just slightly mentioned among all other things, somewhere between the lines...

Fortunately Bulgaria won't play in this weekend, I couldn't imagine how it may look like in next few days.

well, good to hear that Riley Salmon came back as an OH. Several days ago, I read a piece of news about his rebuilds, and found that he worked extremely hard to regain his physical presence. It would be my luck to see him once again on the court showing his fabulous digging, receiving, serving and attacking wisdom!

I didn't expect you like him so much...

In prediction game no one, except me, think France can beat USA

Russian and Serbian squad:

petković-atanasijević, janić-nikić, stanković-podraščanin - rosić

ushakov-moroz, berezhko-shivozhelez, dima-apllikov - obmochaev

I found on Laola's site that they gonna broadcast the Japan - Russia match: http://www.laola1.tv/en/int/vo…video/204-1922-84744.html

Now Russia - Serbia is on http://www.lshunter.tv/volleyball-live-streaming-video.html

58 mistakes in Russia-Serbia like in african derby.

Will Poland play with the best squad tonight or no? Bartman in roster?

Check it alone, we aren't ur service

Poland will play with full roster against Brazil but probably in every set will be changes.

Nippon played w/o Shimitzu, Usami and Koshikawa vs Cuba. Any reason for these absences?

Where could I watch USA vs France???

Can anybody explain me how is it possible that as till some player as for example Bell Cisnero Yenry can play abroad (for Galatasaray) and still invited to the national team, other players can not leave the country or if they do they can't play in national team (as Juantorrea). I read not so long ago that the National team from Cuba is participating at international competitions with strict security and also their squad is chosen with high care to avoid that players flee meanwhile they are outside Cuba...
