European Championships 2011

  • Mastroooo :super:


    He is playing sooo well in this ECh! To me, the most constant and the best player of Italian NT so far! Also Savani is playing very well, but he didn't in Italy-France.


    He is making the difference! I'm a bit sorry because I think we expressed a better vb in WL international tournament, so now that we have Mastro we were supposed to play even better! Well, I hope that we will be able to use our best strenght in the next matches! The block is working well, but the serve not so much...


  • Yosifov with 11 blocks if you count the playoff, otherwise - 10
    Todorov with 10 blocks you count the playoff, otherwise - 9

    Yeah, he is unbelievable. It's a pleasure watching him playing like that :love: He is in a fantastic shape! It's crazy. He is one of the oldest players on this tournament.


    Unfortunately I hope he won't be so damn good tomorrow 'cause it would be a conflict of interests :P
    It's gonna be a really tough battle...

  • Oh... Don't worry 'cause Mariusz Wlazły always want to play on such big tournaments like Olympic Games so I wouldn't be surprised at all if we'll see him next year in London.


    I won't beleive it until I see it with my eyes :lol:


    I mean that it will be incredibly if His Highness does us the hounor of attending the NT. I am really amazed how coaches let him choose when he wants to play and when not. :roll:


    Sorry I really don't want to be sarcastic or offensive, but I'm mad at Wlazly for not paricipating regularly in the NT. I have heard something about his hard character, but damn I don't care. For me he was one of the most talanted and skilfull players I have ever seen and that's why he is in the list of favourite palyers below my avatar since I'm in this forum. I cannot understand why he neglects Polsish NT in last years. He is always injured or something, but that seems to me more like excuses. Or may be he thinks he is too good to be there? :what: And he could give so much to volleyball itself and fans of the game... :evil:

    Wild Wild West!

    Bronze medal - World League 2012 Prediction Game

  • If after Brtman, Kuba Jarosz is the only option for Poles for the position of an opposite, I think that Gruszka can and must stay for the Olympics with no problem. :D No matter how old he is, he is a class above that guy. Piotr could be a good back up for the recovered Bratman and would be much more useful in hard moments than Jarosz. Gruszka's career is really admairable - he has to play his last Olympics.

    Brat-man??? What a brilliant new nickname for Zibi! he's surely a brat and badass. :lol:
    Fine, now I can call him Batman, Butterman and Bratman! :) What's the next?
    PS: I know maybe it's your miswriting, but what a happy coincidence!

    Oh... Don't worry 'cause Mariusz Wlazły always want to play on such big tournaments like Olympic Games so I wouldn't be surprised at all if we'll see him next year in London.

    Nice. After Bartman and Wlazly crowd in the opposite player list, the previously most weak position is filled with prodigies. From a simple point of view, Jarosz may be the first one to be kicked out. I'm a little sad for him if so, because he's a very hardworking player, too, but I'll feel sorry for Poland otherwise.

    These stats perfectly explain why Russia is the king.

  • Brat-man??? What a brilliant new nickname for Zibi! he's surely a brat and badass. :lol:

    Sorry, I really know that he is Bartman I just didn't see I have misspelled it ...twice :lol:


    I checked for spelling of the other two names I mentioned because they are more difficult to me, but in the end I made a mistake in the easy one. Actually easy is only his surname, but not his first name, that is why I'm glad that you call him just Zibi, I may use it, too sometimes :D

    Wild Wild West!

    Fair enough! :lol:
    I feel more confident since I can spell all the Polish guys' names easily now.
    Zibi's given name is not that difficult. "Zbigniew" seems to be a common name in Poland.
    You know what? Bulgarian names are hard for me because there're way too many "-v"s there. Yesterday I wrote a post about Bulgaria's match in Chinese and I wanted to mention Yosifov. But I tried everything and failed to find out is it a "hov" or "lov" or "nov" or "sev" or what. Finally I looked it up in the Mediaguide of World League and know it's a "fov". :what:
    Actually I can't catch the suffix of Polish names, either. For example I know "Bartek" refers to Kurek but I don't know where it comes. A same situation is Zibi-zek(I don't know how to spell it). I've learn a littlelingua Latin so I know these languages have complicated suffix rules. I just tried not to be bothered by them. ;)


  • Wonderful job! Thanks a lot, I was looking for smth like this :)


    I'm not surprise to see Mastro as first blocker :heart: , but I'm surprise to see Lasko as best scorer! And I hope that Zaytsev will be able to grab the prize as best server... Unfortunally Travica that was our best server in the WL didn't score many aces so far.


    But I wanted to ask: when you said who can be in the list from teams not in the top 4 (N'gapeth, Kaizisky etc), did you count or not the play off? I guess... no?

  • Where are Poles? :lol: :lol:
    I'm suprised of Lasko as the best scorer, nice to see him there :P But it's a shame to see him in 'The best blockers', because it's mean, that out block sucks! :cursing:

    I'm afraid that I don't understand you well, but Bartek, Zibi etc aren't suffix. It's a normal diminutive. Zbigniew is main name and it is written in all IDs, right? Then Zbyszek, Zibi, Zbysiu, Zbyszuniek, Zbych etc is other version - but not official - that name. BTW Name "Zbigniew" is awful for me - no offence, but it's not (IMO) a name for young man.

  • I won't beleive it until I see it with my eyes :lol:


    I mean that it will be incredibly if His Highness does us the hounor of attending the NT. I am really amazed how coaches let him choose when he wants to play and when not. :roll:


    Sorry I really don't want to be sarcastic or offensive, but I'm mad at Wlazly for not paricipating regularly in the NT. I have heard something about his hard character, but damn I don't care. For me he was one of the most talanted and skilfull players I have ever seen and that's why he is in the list of favourite palyers below my avatar since I'm in this forum. I cannot understand why he neglects Polsish NT in last years. He is always injured or something, but that seems to me more like excuses. Or may be he thinks he is too good to be there? :what: And he could give so much to volleyball itself and fans of the game... :evil:

    How funny it sounds in english :lol: We call him also Mighty Lord, Princess and Mr. Brightest.
    Well... I wait for Mariusz to explain one day why he does what he does. I hope he has serious reasons. 'Cause if not I'm gonna hate him.
    Don't be sorry. Many polish fans don't even try to be not sarcastic or offensive. 'Cause many fans don't like Wlazły. They're simply disappointed and angry at him. That's why I'm always worry about Kurek who play in the same club with Wlazły. I hope Wlazły won't infect him with such attitude he presents himself :whistling:




    Brat-man??? What a brilliant new nickname for Zibi! he's surely a brat and badass. :lol:
    Fine, now I can call him Batman, Butterman and Bratman! :) What's the next?
    PS: I know maybe it's your miswriting, but what a happy coincidence!

    I didn't notice that. Funny :lol:

    Well Zibi use "Zibi" as well about himself :P

    Zibi-zek? What is that? :huh: You mean Zbyszek, right? :lol: Zbyszek is diminutive from the name Zbigniew. Actually, it should be Zbygniew but somewhere there was a mistake. I read about this name. It suits Zibi perfectly 'cause the last part Zbi-gniew means "anger" ;)
    Oh, and I don't think Zbigniew is so common name in Poland. I didn't like this name, until I met Zbyszek Bartman. :D


    Bartek... Diminutive from Bartosz. But it can be also Bartłomiej. But our Kurek is Bartosz not Bartłomiej.

    The biggest success of our team is that someone is better than Kurek. Michał Kubiak rocks! :super:

    Zbigniew is for granddad. Zbyszek is for young man. And Zibi is reserved for Bartman.
    Zbigniew really sounds too seriously. It doesn't suit Bartman at all. But Zbyszek sounds much better. And Zibi is super-cool 8)




    Hehe, much better :D

    Michał Kubiak will continue improve statistics :box:

  • How funny it sounds in english :lol: We call him also Mighty Lord, Princess and Mr. Brightest.

    I would prefer "His Majesty Shampoo". :rolll:


    IMO Polish fans (not all of them, of course) don't like Wlazły cuz he plays for Skra - sad but true...

  • Hahha, OMG this is really sarcastic :lol: why do you call Wlazly Princess. I mean why female? :D


    As for "Zbi-gniew" and gniew meaning anger, it is almost the same in Bulgaria - if I could use polish transcripion it will be gniaw (гняв in cyrilic), but I cannot imagine gniaw to be part of a Bulgarian name :D


    And about Bartek, I thought that it is because he is Bart(oszkur)ek , some combination of both names, but obviously every Bartosz can be Bartek :lol:



    Wild Wild West!
