the best team in Europe is playing in the CEV cup this year. Last seasons huge fail by ECZ probably cost them a CL gold medal. What's the format for the 2nd and 3rd Turkish teams to CL for next year?

I agree on Imoco.. they're not showing star quality in this CL.. as I said before their reception is far from good, not even stable.. I thought Bricio would easily take Megan's role, in fact before Megan got injured, I was thinking Bricio will be a starter and Megan a sub.. however Bricio was very bad today, but also hasn't been reliable in the other matches too. Kudos to Fabris for getting back so early after the injury, and havng a good game.. but she's not the decisive player Imoco needs. Yes she can score a lot of points for them and that's important.. but they need a real leader.

They have no player to go out of system. Hill and Fabris are the most setting dependent players I can remember. Bricio can be good, but she needs to make more experience (and she suffers a lot the change of the ball both as passer and as server). IMHO Hodge, who's a beast spiker, was the starter and Hill the back in original idea of the club.

In playoff 6, most likely Kazan (#1 or 2) will have to play GS, and VB will have to play Novara (or maybe C Police). #3 and 4 will play each other and one of them will be Alba-Blaj, which is a much easier draw for the other team than the top 2 seeds. Don't know who'd like to be the top 2 seeds. Group round drawing totally messed up everything.Imoco, Vakif,Alba,Kazan are all guaranteed to move on to the six. Now just the final two to decide. Is the host team requried to be from the final six?

FB did way better than I expected. People shouldn't be so harsh to Rahimova, she played as OH for the first time as a receiver and it is clearly not her expertise and also her attacks from left side is not very strong.
Conegliano is very shaky, with such a performance they will be eaten alive by both Vakıfbank and GS. Even FB with such a roster managed to get two sets thanks to their strong servers, I can't see how they will deal with GS's and Vakıf's servers![]()
It was a pleasure to watch Tomkom, she is doing a great job at using her magic even with such miserable reception line
BTW, why wasnt Calderon in Volero's roster![]()
