She fell very badly after her foot went against the pole of the net! It seemed really serious. I hope is just a scare.
Is that her in your avatar? She's pretty. Hope she recovers soon.

I watched 3 matches (well 2 and a half actually) yesterday and here's my opinion:
Dinamo vs Schwechat: The Austrian played extremely well for two sets while Dinamo was only Gamova and Liktoras. Gamova is playing position 6 in defense now which is a big weakness. Dinamo's block did not exist in those two sets. Then in 3rd set Schwechat was obviously exhausted after losing two sets so closely.
Eczacibasi vs Murcia: I watched sets 2+3 of that match. Murcia simply does not play as a team. Glinka may be a good weapon in attack but her weakness in reception is a huge problem for the team. Jaqueline is not as solid as she used to be either. With that reception Fofao cannot show all her abilities. Eczaci served very well and had a good block. Their young setter Naz Aydemir injured her ankle early but she insisted to finish the match and she succeeded after all.
Marichal vs Martinus: Well what can I say? Marichal without Neslihan is very weak. Olsovsky cannot replace her in any element and neither Tomasevic nor Gordon are strong enough to take over Neslihan's position as leader. Gordon tried her best but she could not do more than she did, Tomasevic played much worse than the stats tell. In the first two sets she was blocked all the time, only in third set she could kill some balls. Also none of the three receivers is very solid so Lamas cannot use the middles well in attack. The Dutch played an average match (although I don't believe the attack stats of Chaine Staelens are true!!!) but it was enough to win easily.
I was really glad with MArtinus results till now!!!!
I think they have a great team...and I think they can be champions!!!!And I'll cheer for that...eheheheh
I was really surprise with Murcia loosing!!!I mean...of course Citakovic and Metcalf can make difference...and they did....but I thought Murcia team was much stronger....but looks like JAque isn't making a good championship....and Also I think thye should have a stronger oposite...I don't know the girl of the team very much...but for this position should be aomeone more strong....
And JEsi finaly won....I mean...a gimportant game...cause they were not very good in Italian league...so I didn't thought that they would won this match!
But does someone know why Calloni didn't play???????I love her game...much better than GAttaz!!!!hehe
I'm so sad for Djerisilo!!!!!!!!!!
So samba player...do you have any news about it???Was really serious?????
And is true that Anja cried???...this is cute....all Serbia team seems really united!!!
It was one of the greatest performance Metcalf 's ever had. Vesna Citakovic was one of the stars of the game along with Glinka and Metcalf. Eczacı is without Tayyibe Haneef so with the joining of Haneef expect more suprising victories from them.
One of the members of the turkish forum promised to put the match on youtube. I will post the link if he uploads it
Mammadova has torn ligaments in her ankle. She jumped on Ah Mow after a backrow attack.
Djerisilo has a damage of knee ligaments and the bone.
Both are out for at least one month
And is true that Anja cried???...this is cute....all Serbia team seems really united!!!
Yes, also because Anja and Ivana are best friends as far as I know.
Fortunately Ivana's ligaments didn't broke.

I try to watch and record all Martinus games in the ECL2007, already recorded with Dinamo and Tenerife (from TV Canaria Sat). But it seems that my luck is over. Can't find where to watch Dela Martinus - Post Schwechat on 12.12.2007. CEV site tells ORF/SPORT+, NOS/RTV and NOORDHOLLAND will broadcast this game. But my satellite dish can't get them . Who lives in Holland and Austria, can you record and share it?
So sad to hear that Ivana's problem was in her knee!!!!!
But like you said samba player...luckuly wasn't that serious....
thanks for the information guys!!!!!
Do you know how many time she will need to recorver....do you think she will be able to go to european olimpyc quali?
And yeah!!!!They look very close!!!!!REally cute....I admire this team!!!!!
Azerrail Baku - Winiary Bakalland Kalisz 2:3 (25:23 20:25 18:25 25:19 8:15)
i didnt expect a tie-breaker in this match but im happy that Kalisz won that match anyway
Winiary likes to play tie-break. It's in these girls blood , no matter who plays in the team. I was watching the game and I was really nervous, so I'm also happy because of this win. The girls should remember, that I have only one heart .
The crowd on this match was interesting: almost no civils, just Azeri soldiers or policemen
