2014 FIVB World Championship - Italy - 9/23

  • Ok ok but it's a mix ; you can't only keep the backing of the national team !
    "Buffoon" for me is not pejorative.
    ...
    Agree for France. But there too Patrick Montel plays a role. And French audience knows it.
    ...
    Watching sports is not exactly the same thing than going to the church.

  • Laola says that it is prohibited in my region :aww:


    Can you give me another link pls for DOM-AZE? Please :sos:

  • Barbolini is interesting. Obviously Turkey does not have a single chance to qualify to next around so why do not you give a chance to the bench players? Especially the young ones?

    Because ranking matters, and because Turkey can help their friends from Bulgaria to go higher too :)

  • Why Guldeniz come in as a serving sub?? Her serves are not good at all. I understand the defense part but she can wait one more rotation for that.


    Gizem K :box:

  • HI, I'm new here :) THis is a great volley board, well I would like to ask you guys something, if anyone knows; I'm Watching the Russia vs Turkey match and I wonder why Natalia Goncharova isn't playing, I guess she's not even on bench, haven't seen her, do you know what is happening with her?

  • Tall mountain to climb for Russia. They have to at least take 2 sets from Brazil and win in 3-0. 3-1 for Serbia match to qualify. :white:

    No, it's not that tall at least now. If Sebia will lose to USA, Russia will have to win 3-0 or 3-1 against Serbs, no sets from Brazil would matter.

  • uh...that last call from the referee was a bit strange....


    Honetly I didnt see a terrible touch to call a double touch in setting...and specially being the last point of the match..a bit tough...I think it was unnecessary to make that call...honestly....


    anyway...congrats Turkey.

    It seems we will have a last match decision between Russia x Serbia indeed.


    Of course we still have to see USA and Brazil results, but if everything goes as its looking...... well, we will see... ^^

    To be honest the judge was consistent in helping Turkey throught the game, but Turkish girls deserved the win, once again they showed incredible fighting spirit.

  • And Russia is probably out !
    I'm sorry but even Borisenko could be a better option than this MBs.
    This match shows because of Marichev's decision ,Russia not only loss Obmochaeva but also Kosianenko . She was terrible
    As for Turkey, Güldeniz was the X-factor. One of her greatest offensive performance ever.
    I don't like Gözde because of her personality but I must admit she was also great
    Gamova probably didn't have enough preparation for this tornament.

    I wish we could see the decisive game Serbia vs Russia. That game would be so intense!
