World Grand Prix 2011
-
-
In Poland will be two tournaments- in Bydgoszcz and Zielona Góra.

thats good..finally FIVB releases the news...
Kazakhstan was the fifth place in Asian Cup 2010, after China, Korea, Thailand and Japan...
Algiria probably is the top ranked african team in FIVB world standing at the moment...
but KAZ NT is preponderant...
-
Based on my world rankings, Kazakhstan should beat Algeria.
-
The Japanese Women's Team is looking for different home venues to play World Grand Prix matches in August.

Easy road for Poland to be in F8 in their more difficoult year
Germany will face 2 times Peru and 1 Korea, but the rest of the teams they'll play against are very dangerous (Brazil, Japan, Russia, China, Italy, USA)
Cuba will have their chance: they'll meet Argentina (2 times), Thailand (2 times), Peru and Korea. I don't wanna understimate that teams but they are in a similar or worst level than Cuba NT. On the other hand, Cuba has a young team and that could be a problem. Russia, Poland and Brazil will be their harder matches.

Woahh
Is it possible to play in Japan? only 3 months left until August, and I'm still able to hear some news about Japan. I don't think all the players are okay with that...well, hopefully everything will be solved though. -
holy crap another cake walk till the finals for Poland hip hip hurray
i mean seriously if we can make half decent team it's can be easier than last year. Cuba is one of the most unstable teams in the world and if they have a "off" day they can be beaten by anyone. i don't excpect Korea to play as good as they did last year, specially not in Europe and Dominican Rep. is decent team but definitly can be beaten easily.Italy and China are definitly the most dificult match ups for us, although we won with China several times before so they are not unbetable.
on the other hand Serbia and Germany are fu*ked up, such a dificult draw for them
Japan has hard draw too, is it just me or they don't get that privalage from FIVB anymore?
-
As always Poland has an easy draw,no suprise for me
Poor Germany must face with strong opponents each stage -
Woahh

Far enough away from Tokyo, but have international airports, so easy in and easy out.
-
We have to face only one team from Europe (Italy), no Brazil, no USA on our way. A piece of cake. But for a class team
Well, we will see... -

Well, we will see...but the opponents don't really matter to Polish players
They can get crushed by any weak teams, and They can crush such strong teams like USA and Russia, When they play amazingly well.
but yeah, It is so true that Poland is always lucky. They only have to face Italy.I wonder how the Polish girls will play without such star players (Skowronska,Glinka mainly...) one thing I can be sure is Werblinska rocks so much

So I think holding WGP there is one of the best possible option. Best candidates are Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka.
I live in Tokyo. I have to admit Tokyo has some problems. mainly a shortage of power supply.

Netherlands Flag to Russian at Pool L

Nice draw for Poland, but it will be still difficult as our best players won't play. Hopefully they will win their chance. I would not underestimate Korea.
It is really good team. -

Yes,she had a great season in İller Bankası. She was one of the best middles in the league.She is so quick and really effective in blocks. Kazakhstan's setter should use her more..
