    It's possible, you just have to believe in yourself and really not care what other people say, because I've heard it all.
    If you let someone else dictate what you're going to do in life, then you won't get there.

    Congratulations Italy :flower: It was a very deserved victory.I love the way of playing Leo and Gioli together.They make a diffrence really :win: By the way Barbolini should not hid Leonardi from reception really.Costagrande was not great today and Leonardi can recieve as much as Costagrande does maybe even better :down:

    2010/2011 Eczacıbaşı VitrA - Turkish Cup Winner :cup:
    2011/2012 Eczacıbaşı VitrA - Super Cup Winner :cup:

    Yeah Goli and Del Core both were like a monsters :P
    Rosia out !!! Surprise surprise ! I thought Poland will beat them in the semis :)
    German team looked good in the match with Serbia! Grun brought in loads of sparkle and extra power to the team.
    Really hope Polish girl will beat Serbia 2morrow! Fingers crossed they survive the Serbian crowd.

    Congratulations to Italy and Italian users :flower: :flower: :flower:


    Italy played simply too strong...especially in defense and block :!:


    I don't want to blame any Dutch player. All the girls worked very hard! I know some of them played a weaker match today, but that's normally with our roster. We don't have 7 stars inside court, like Italy.


    I'm happy for Lonneke, she could show her spikes to the audience !!

    please can my somebody explain why is Leonardi hidden? I know its because of her injury but what kind of injury is that she can dig like crazy and cant receive? or I am wrong? :)

    Because Barbolini tries everyway to leave Ortolani out the court.... so he chhose to play with 3 OH saying it will help Leonardi because she is not at her 100%

    After first match Barbolini said it's a tactical choice and not because of her injury. Maybe Barbolini wants to confuse opponents with 3 OHs in reception so they don't know which one to target ;)

    Quote from TheUSAFAN

    It's really too bad that C. Staelens has had so many injuries because the Netherlands desperately need someone with her attacking ability


    We have a strong hitter :teach: She is only 19 years old.. and she is not in the ECH-roster because of an injury..She will play for Schweriner SC, this season.
