  • Who decides about schedule for FinalFour, hosts or 1. With 4. Team and 2. Team With 3. Team ?


    Their is rule or ?

    Their is rule or ?

    In 2nd Division probably host chose, it's something like that:
    Host - 4th
    2nd - 3rd


    Bulgaria was 3rd, while Poland 4th and they'll probably meet with each other, though when doing it normal way it should be Puerto Rico - Poland and Dominican Republic - Bulgaria :whistle:

    Gold medal - World League 2013 Prediction Game
    Bronze medal - World League 2012 Prediction Game

  • Goncharova is an outstanding player but a bad person. Hande is only 18 years old, Goncharova shouts at her face don't know how many times today and finally at 4th set, Hande turns back and shouts to Goncharova after scoring over her. Is this really something you want to teach to a young player Goncharova? :hit:


    What did she do? :D


    It sounds like I missed Goncharova's most intresting moment since she stopped screaming at Gamova. ;(

  • Shouting at your opponent's face is a really bad way of showing your emotions. This is called verbal attack.
    I don't care if she is acting cold, to me she looks cool. She does not have to jump and cheer and run like a pretty little girl to her teammates, that's a stereotype.

    No I can't imaging even Goncharova doing that. That sounds more like something Özge Nur would do :')


  • What did she do? :D


    It sounds like I missed Goncharova's most intresting moment since she stopped screaming at Gamova. ;(

    She shouted at her face at times on the net. So nothing new from her :whistle:


    Altinli, it can actually be really funny if she does that once, just to make fun of others :lol:

    Thank you for replay :)

  • I cant wait for China, Brazil and Serbia next week, I really hope China and Serbia can beat Brazil.


    Ze Roberto is so selfish, Sheilla has played every single competition since 2005, I think the only GP she did not play was last year, right now Tandara really needs play time but she doesnt get and wont get any...same as Roberta. If Sheilla or Dani Lins were to get injured, Brazil would be screwed.


    I wonder if next week will be Boskovic with Brakocevic or Ana Bejlica.


    I miss Zeng Chunlei.

  • I knew that. And won nothing else during her tenure. 4 years later, USA won silver again without her. USA has been a traditional powerhouse anyway. So has China. It's her second stint with Chinese nt, China won the Olympic gold in between without her. If coach k could bring home a silver, clearly he would have been a better coach then Lang for the USA.

    USA won Silver in 2008 OG, do you know who was their coach?? Lang Ping..

  • According to voleyboldefteri, Gizem Örge will miss next week's edition in US because of visa problems. It is like a nightmare, Turkey played finally good thanks to her, Merve D is nowhere close to her. Not sure if there is a 3rd possible libero instead of her.

  • Stevanovic's career is being destroyed by the serbian setters

  • Well here in the USA it is not televised, so we have no other option than to watch online only.


    The London final USA vs Brazil the tv channel that broadcast the OG only showed a reply of 15 minutes maybe, at 11 PM. But they said they were gonna show a full replay, but then the USA lost and they did not care to show it....I was going to watch it online live but I choose to wait to see on tv ...and I did not get to watch anything at all.


    In 2008 they were showing only replays of the matches, but I had no clue they were replays and not live, until the morning of the final game when I was talking to my sister in Brazil and she said if I watched that Brazil won the GOLD....then I was like, what r u talking about? they have not played yet... :obey: :obey:

    Now that USA have finally arrived in the game, the overall level of the match has also improved. Both teams are really good in block-defense and also in their attacking system, which doesn't show that much because of each other's strong block-defense.


    I'm glad to see Lloyd finally getting and using a chance in NT. In the past she always either did not get the chances or when she did she wasn't able to use them properly. Now she does :)

    Now it is 30.000 :D

  • :rolll: :rolll: :rolll: Malinov forgetting that Diouf is out, setting the ball to pos.1 to defensive specialist Spirito, she has the guts to go for it and scores :super:
    Many other defensive specialists would have just passed a free ball over...


    HA. didn't watch any matches this week yet but you remind me, sassa scored a kill from the backrow as a sub in beijing (against US? i think).


    binet for DOM has also done it, i remember, i think to close a set, she got a kill from backrow.

    Gizem Karadayi is right now in the States with her husband maybe she will join them?


    PS: hottest coach is the assistant coach of NED the italian guy who worked also with Guidetti in Vakifbank.

  • I hope you do realize it's Russia A minus Kosheleva against Turkey B team


    Nobody forced Akbas to bring his B team :roll: I find it ridiculous to define team A and B, It's an Olympic year and Russia are going to Rio soon. Agree that that played so bad tonight though.

  • Nataliya "Swipe Queen" Goncharova that must be her new moniker lol Seriously she has been doing this not only on this match, but from the Netherlands match and almost always converts to a point.


    I love it when she does, she never fails :D I was surprised to see her screaming at a Turk, it's been actually a while since the last time she did that. I really hope she stops that. From time to time also Zaryazhko makes a rude gesture, not screaming but using her hands so on, she needs to stop that as well. I don't want them to be involved in trash talks.


    I kinda agree with you about Lyubushkina, she's obviously the weakest blocker in the team, Van de Vyver used her MB right away after she came in, in other words opponents know that she's always in a wrong position. With Samoylenko back, I'd like Marichev to take her and two Iras.


    I never expected myself to say it - I missed Pasynkova tonight :rolleyes:
