  • He has some injuries according to that source, because of that missed 3rd week and final of WL.

  • Argentina final team:


    S- Luciano De Cecco, Demian Gonzalez
    OP- Bruno Lima
    MB- Pablo Crer, Martin Ramos, Sebastian Sole
    OH- Nicolas Bruno, Facundo Conte, Ezequiel Palacios, Cristian Poglajen, Facundo Santucci
    L- Alexis Gonzalez


    The surprise is Santucci as OH, Velasco said he wants to have two Liberos but since that is not allowed he took one of them as OH. It's not bad IMO, it's not like we are missing a great player in it's place. Among all OPP and OHs only Conte makes a difference, the others are more or less the same.

  • Is Demian Gonzalez actually better than Uriarte? :sos:

    As said it was Uriarte that decided to quit, but i personally prefer Demian, he is a very experienced and regular setter, did a pretty job here in Brazilian superleague. Argetina is well served in this position :thumbup:


    What happend to Zornetta ?

    What happend to Zornetta ?

    My thoughts exactly, where's Zornetta? Injured or purged after that tiebreak against Italy at the 2015 World Cup?

    Bruno took his place as our token "short reception OH", he just had a better season than Zornetta and did pretty well in the last WL.



    As for Uriarte, he ruled himself out apparently, but anyway Gonzalez is in better form currently IMO.

  • He has some injuries according to that source, because of that missed 3rd week and final of WL.

    as a result, he retired from NT :wavy:
