Friendly NT Matches

I don't understand. Didn't Russia win most matches? Why did Poland "win" this Cup?

Actually each team had one victory...

Russia 3x2 Poland
Poland 3x0 Serbia
Serbia 3x1 Russia

I don't know if they used the system of points average..or sets...but anyway...Poland was the best,,,cause of the easy victory over Serbia...

Oh, I see, they didn't count all those previous matches. Right, they were friendly matches. Thanks.

3. SRB 2 1 1 3:4 3 (153:162) 0,944

about the italy-germany match-ups.

i'm still disappointed with the loss even if italy won the second match. the first one, i think, showed that italy's susceptible to such blunders and lapses of concentration. which is not good for the team because the "air of invincibility" that teams like italy, russia, cuba, brazil have is diminishing for italy because of this years results to teams like japan and germany.

Russia lost one set against China B team? That totally sucks.

i think china wants to see how to russia will play considering that russia has kept to itself its plays for months.

but the result is okay. at least, that's better than seeing the team be defeated. i think it is not china team B at all. it is half team a and half team b since only keng fun and zhao who are not present. hao, zhou and its other main hitter maybe wang/li juan are present.

27 July 2008

Poland vs. Serbia 2:2 (20:20, 25:23, 23:25, 28:26)
Today Poles will have training with Brasil.

does anyone have the result of the friendly where italy won against germany in the first 3 sets and continued to play to win the next two?

I can't find any information about sparring between Poland and Serbia, it's very strange, but I believe WZP, because it's very clever person

MaRQs, Rafal Bala wrote about it in today's issue of 'Przegląd Sportowy'. It's really strange, but only he wrote about it.

Quote from Celso

I don't know which players played for Poland.

Polki rozpoczęły w składzie: Sadurek, Glinka, Liktoras, Skowrońska, Podolec, Bednarek i Zenik na libero.

According to reprezentacja.net the results was: Brazil– Poland 5:1 (25:22, 25:20, 25:17, 17:25, 25:16, 15:12)

Score is bad, but I think Poles will play better..Today American team had sparring with Brazil, Americans lost 0-5

Where did you hear/see this score?

I read on portal reprezentacja.net, but maybe this information isn't true

Azerbaijan-Belarus 3-0(25:21/26:24/25:17)
First match was Azerbaijan-Belarus 2-3
