Post is not a bad team. They have some american players and Simic. I'm not suprised.
I agree, Pressey, Collymore, Miyashiro, Thompson are quite good players, some of them have been in USA national Team. Galatasaray might be understimate the austrian team
but american players are 3rd string players at best like Crimes , never heard of Simic though but i only started watching volley from 2003 - is she really good?

hehe.. i knew whos was playing in Schwechat but they were put in US squad only when tha main players rested and B team was playing tournaments like Montreux
Don't forget how many players USA has, so "third string players" don't have to be bad. For example Crimes is probably a better MB than everyone from Turkey except Eda and maybe Bahar. I am also not at all surprised that Schwechat won, in fact I thought they'd win even easier.

Be part of US B team means they are good players, obviously not like Tom, Hooker etc, but enough to beat Galatasaray and similar level teams

Menorca's best players (Sandelll and Atherstone) get injured and they had to play with second setter as opposite...

I think u meant Turkish MB's. Otherwise: Polyak,Bown,Fürst,Yevgenia,Aysun,Vesna,Özlem,Alessia..
As Turkish: Eda,Bahar,Aysun,Özlem,Büşra,Gökçen,Nilay,İpek,Ergül,Melis etc.. all these players have played in NT.
Yes, I refered mainly to Turkish NT. And I am sure Crimes and Jones are better than all MBs from Turkish NT except Eda and Bahar, even if they are not as good as Bown, Akinradewo, Joines, Harmotto and so they aren't in USA's first team.
You may be right,but if i were you, i"d make sure that if l really knew about all those Turkish MBs to make an inference that "Crimes" was better than any of them. 
I follow international volleyball since many years, so I have watched all the players you've mentioned
Epic fail of Galatasaray... If you have Deniz, you have no chance in anything... So I'm not surprised for the result...
Wow, what a scandalous end of Galatasaray-Schwechat: Schwechat was leading 14-9 in Golden Set, Galatasaray fought back until 14-14, then the referee gave a controversial point to Schwechat and a yellow card to Galatasaray for protesting finished the match 
I really don't like such events even though I am glad that Schwechat goes to the next round...
Could someone to write Me how looked the two last points between Istanbul-Schwechat from 14-14 in the Golden Set?
How looked the controversial point?
GSMP Head coach Gökhan Edman: We lost ourself.Djerisilo wasn't at court today.Deniz played very well.
Schwechat MB tipped the ball over the block and Galatasaray players tried to dig it, referee said the ball was on the floor but Galatasaray players said that there was a hand under the ball...from the stream I couldn't tell if the decision was correct or not, but looking how intensely the players protested I guess it was wrong 
So interesting! Djerisilo was about to fight with referee. Their friends hardly pushed her away. I don't understand why she reacted so harsh Galatasaray was fighting well at that moment. So sad they could've won the game.
It was a bit disappointing that most players of GS didn't go to shake hands with Schwechat after the match, it was not their fault that they won And Schwechat's MB Jessica Jones (the one who attacked the controversial ball) even went to Galatasaray's bench to shake hands with the rest of GS players, that's fairness
