World Grand Prix 2010

    If ITA and POL go to the final you can fly to Ningbo.Closer and cheaper and no language barrier but of course you have to speak Mandarin fluently. :drink:

    Quote from mateo

    well Europe has 4 place in WGP and i think 5 teams would be unfair even though probably half of European teams would play better than Tajpei. it's a worldwide tournament not european championship. i think one more place should be given to South America or North America-teams from that region provide high level and are definitly stronger that Chinese Taipei


    but from Polish perspective it's good that this team will play. they are definitly weaker opponent than Korea which we were supposed to face twice now we will play aginst Taipei twice so we might have to wins :)

    Well I know this is unfair but it would be much more interesting to see another European team in WGP tha Chinese Taipei or anny other outside Europe
    and offcourse it's good from polish perspective but I hope there will be NO repetition from WCH 2006 ;)

    In this Year in World Grand Prix will be new system of points- 3:0 or 3:1 3pts, 3:2 2pts, 2:3 1pt.

    The competition will be greater for the two wave wing-spiker: Jaqueline Carvalho is in great shape and was MVP of the Super League Brazilian PAULA PEQUENO is fully recovered from surgery last year and MARI did a fantastic superleague.

    If USA sends the same team or at least a stronger team than they had in Montreux, we'll probably see them in the final round. They will be facing Dom Republic, Germany, Poland, China, Italy, Puerto Rico and Thailand in the entirety of the tournament. Italy and China should be the most difficult of the matches, however, I wouldn't discount Poland and Germany yet.


    Go USA!

    whre's Megumi Kurihara n /kano?


    Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to
    stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs
    you, that takes a lot of courage.

    Saori Sakoda, arguably, the most physically fit of the new players to come into the Japan team this year, will be an adequate replacement for Megumi and Kano.
    At least I would like to think so. She has been phenomenal this year despite her slight physique. You only have to ask some of the foreign players who played against her last season.
    Of course we are going to miss the afore-mentioned players but the team as it is now, will give a very good account of themselves. I am hopeful, not forgetting the experience of Kimura and Araki, which will be crucial to obtaining the required victories during the early rounds. :woohoo:
