some how I thought VGSTT had it (the cup).
how stupid of me.
I must be getting older.
anyhow Eczacibasi received a WC to enter CL.

playoff finalists -> Champions League
Turkish cup winner-> CEV CUP -
What will happen if the same team win the cup and the championship?
-
What will happen if the same team win the cup and the championship?
obviously if the cup winner also gets the chance to participate to CL, it participates to CL.
so the best team which doesn't get the chance to enter Cev cup, does so.to be more clear here is an example
league standing after regular season
1. team a (later becomes the champion)
2. team b
3. team c (later becomes the vice champion) (cup winner)
4. team d
5. team e
6 team fafter the playoffs
1.team a -------> CL
2. team c ------> CL
3. team b ------> CEV cup
4. team d ------->CEV cup
5. team e --------> Challenge cup
6. team f -

The best foreign players have played there.

and we may not get immediately good results.
We need time to become a better level.journalist:

The levels of the teams in Italy are closer together .
However Turkey leagues was divided into two : there is very powerful teams in The league's top.
However other teams are a little weak.
this prevent the competition in league.
Turkey Volleyball Federation decrease the number of foreign players three to two that playing in the match.
this decision may increase the level of turkish players.journalist:

Simit is indeed very tasty but only if the bread is still fresh I once bought one last summer, you could throw through a window

Yes in Bulgaria also many people eat for breakfast bakeries like bagels, pretzels and tradionall banitsa with cheese while drink airan ( drink in Bulgaria and Turkey from yoggurt and water ) Also someone likes the drink called boza ( which is very difficult for explanation but it's well known in Bulgaria and Turkey and his taste is schoking for many foreigners). Maybe someone prefers to eat these bakeries with a cup of milk. Nothing strange. Different peoples, different preferences. Wow i feel so hungry now from all these talks.
