  • You could make one from each match... :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: hehehe, sorry I know must be really demanding job, but its really cool indeed...seems like that banners from NBA and things like that..hehehe
    congrats!


    I love to working with Photoshop when I have time. :heart: It takes a long time for such a banner / photo. :wacko: It is sometimes hard, if you make a mistake and have to start over but I'll try to make more banners, if I have time. :)
    Thanks again. :thumbup:

    I imagined how much work is, I'm absolutely the worse working with photoshops, I already try sometimes, but I definelty dont have the skill to do so..hehehehehehehe but thanks for this one ;)

  • Buff, it's difficult describe how Serbia was thrashed by Russia tonight. Trzic must resign from national team coach yesterday better than tomorrow

  • I haven't seen statistics but I would bet Kosheleva had more than that 68% in spiking efficiency of the team. She was unstoppable to Serbia.

  • I think they have the mentality to always lose when playing against Russia. Maybe that's why they simply cannot execute their game.


    With Russia playing so well, I think many teams will have this mentality.


    Maybe you're right, but Serbia didn't show any fight spirit in this match. They let Russian hammered them and they didn`t show proud or instint to fight and the defeat wasn't so humiliating at least

  • The three players of Russia had efficiency higher than 60%. Kosheleva was around 70%, 10 out of 14.


    I was wondering if Borodakova was there and not Merkulova, the block would have reached 20 or so with the blocking skills of Borodakova.

  • By my estimates from the FIVB stats of serve receive, digging, service aces, spikes (not from sets), blocks and block rebounds, and opponent faults (spike not blocked, service error, setting error and others (4 hits), Russia had 125 possessions and with 75 points scored, an incredible 60% of the time. Taking out the opponent errors of 16 errors, it comes to 59 points in 109 possessions (54.12%).


    Serbia was at 115 possessions with 39 points scored, 33.91%. Taking out the opponent errors of 8 errors, it comes to 31 points in 107 possessions (28.97%)

  • Russia hammered Serbia. The match was more onesided, than RUS-POL. If we beat China today, we will still have a chance for a good place. If...

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

  • God, Polish girls are breaking my heart again.


    If they lose to China will they play for 5-8?


    Because I don't want to talk about semis.

  • I got impression that Poland girls spent too much energy yesterday trying to win the third set in the game with Russia.
    Not very smart. Instead of trying to win the useless set, they should save energy against China.


  • Yeah I agree with all of that. You'd think they'd have enough experience by now, but I guess not. Oh yeah perhaps the other match I watch them play was in Grand Prix not WCH? Yeah I checked, it was GRand Prix, they quite easily beat them then. But anyway, I guesswe have to conclude that (like the mens team) they siply do not have enough quality at this point.

  • Terrible, terrible. Lack of defence organisation, weakness in attack. Everything go on out! No cooperation between setter and MBs. Totally unprepared to WCH, althaugh the team has potential. Next lost chance. Poland cannot play with China...

  • Poland lost to China 3:0. Now - only places 9-12 are possible, I think. Our team lack class players. How many of them do we have? Glinka, Barańska, Zenik... And that's all. Not too much. I mean REAL class players. Not somebody who plays once very well, and another time very bad (Kaczor, Bednarek, Sadurek etc.). With this squad we can't dream about medals in WCh (ECh are something different in female volleyball).

  • I think level of this Championships are very very low. 8 points in one set? Germany, Serbia, Italy? In 2nd round? These are the worst tournament in history of FIVB.

  • Wow, Russia just destroyed Serbia. I haven't expected this result at all. It seems Serbia can't play morning matches, they are still in beds, dreaming.
    Btw, during this match Russian commentator told about overall teams rankings in different elements. He said that Russia is no 1 of all teams in attack and in serve (although there are not many Russians in top servers list) and Serbia is no 1 in block and during the match Russia-Poland he told that he is amazed by the improvement of Russia defense and that after the match with Peru Russia was on the 2nd place in defense after Germany. Do you guys know where I can see overall teams stats?

  • close 1st set between Japan and Korea, the USA-Netherlands 2nd set is close and exciting as well
