    Yesterday I went to see Orbita ZAPOROZHYE vs Nova KBM Branik MARIBOR. Orbita was trying hard and even took a lead in 1st set, but no chance, lost 0-3. Last season we won 3rd place in Ukrainian superleage and got a right to take part in the Callenge Cup. Then, before the new season two best players left the team and today Orbita needs time to find its game. As now the only consolation for the fans is that our girls are much more beautiful :wink2:

    Muszynianka Fakro Muszyna - Infoplus Minetti Imola 2:3 (18:25 22:25 25:23 25:17 11:15)

    That was unpleasent surprise for me. Infoplus IMOLA is rather average team, but Muszynianka slept two first sets and had to pay the price. Now they're going to win 4 sets in Italy, which is possible but difficult.

    5th place - Prediction Game - World League 2011 :D

    tzz you are so right... Muszynianka is actually a great team with nice players and didnt use this advantage of playing at home :thumbdown: and now they have to go to Italy and its always hard to play there for a foreign team. But as you said, Imola is an avarage team and Muszynianka has good chances to win. but 4 sets :roll: hope they will be motivated enough

    It looks like they weren't motivated :roll:What a disaster, 3:0 for IMOLA...(25:9, 25:13... :cursing: :down:).
    Were Polish girls drunk or were playing against men? Cause I don't know how team of class players can lose like that to team which is nothing more but solid :down:
