2014 FIVB World Championship - Poland - 8/30

    Quote from Ojla

    Yeah, some organizers were also trying to persuade Rezende to leave the locker room (he rushed there straight after the game) and join the press conference and give some mandatory interviews, but he refused to leave and said that he's short on time, because of Poles changing the schedule of the tournament, and he now he has to hurry up with the preperations for the upcoming match against the Russians. :wacko:

    Which, for me, is completely understandable. Poland has a day off, while Brazil has to prepare for a huge and tough match in less than 24h and keep all its players in a good state of mind. It wasn't okay to give the middle finger to a journalist and Bernardo should be fined for that indeed, but in such a stressful situation, I'm not surprised. However, FIVB has no reason to fine the team over not showing up at the press conference. It'd be ironic to see them punishing people for not following protocol. :whistle:

    Lol. The same ref who gave 2 yellow cards to Brazilians and 1 red to us offhand :lol: I wonder if Brazilians realize how much they are showing their vulnerability and the fact they don't feel strong at all.


    Anyways, I recall all these emotions when this last challenge was about to clear the situation and give us precious victory. Drzyzga completely smashed me saying sth like "It was touched as hell, I'm putting my wristwatch and I'm going... It was TOUCHED!" :D

    Right before when Lucarelli fucked up his service, it was probably the loudest "out" in Drzyzga's life :lol: I love it when he loses it in important matches. His comments about referees though :lol: :lol: :lol:


    I can't wait what some referee from Sri Lanca or another volleyball country will do today. Yesterday the guy was "checking the ball". Maybe today he will whistle for offside :aww:

    Attending press-conference is obligatory for all teams participating in competitions under FIVB and CEV, even in junior or youth level. How come Poles changed schedule? They have right to choose where they want to play as well as time of their matches. It's common thing when it comes to the hosts. Germany is in same situation, playing back to back matches, France changed 4 cities (!), played last match in Lodz vs Poland and in 36 hours had to play in Katowice vs Germany and didnt complain. Brazil is vulnerable and that's why they are going this show. Russians also have problems with injuries. I doubt Poles were favorizing Russians with schedule, we saw what Polish fans think about Russia.

    Have to say Drzyzga entertains me more and more :D He simply love to criticize refs, Vlado Petkovic and lately the way refs use the challenge system. On the other channel Kuba Bednaruk is the star :D But the most ridiculous thing ever was when Drzyzga during match with France started to think back to the past aloud and to these already moving circumstances (you know, our French coaches and stuff) he added that his son has some French deals too (Fabian was born in Bordeaux). His voice sounded that sentimental that I was afraid he is about to confess where and how Fabian was conceived :rolll:

    Only imagine this guy from Iran refereeing some Russian match. Would be smashed like hell :gone:

    I have stats from Polsat volleyball after yesterday's match. Don't know though if it's not useless. Because some stats show Wlazły scored 31 and these one claim it's 24 :huh: Anyway, here what we have:
    Poland 3 - 2 Brazil
    aces: 5 - 7
    attacks: 56 - 56
    opp. errors: 30 - 27
    blocks: 12 - 15
    digs: 20 -19


    best receiver: Kubiak 24/45 (53%) - Mario 21/30 (70%)
    attack: Wlazły 22/40, Mika 13/21, Kłos 7/10 - Vissotto 14/28, Fonteles 14/26, Lucarelli 12/22
    best servers: Konarski 2 - Lucas 3
    best blockers: Kłos 6 - Lucas 4
    scorers: Wlazły 24, Mika 16, Kłos 13 - Vissotto 17, Fonteles 17, Lucas 16

    And FIVB will say- because of Your behaviour You won't lead Team during match v. Russia only will sit between polish Fans Rezende or Russia will get walkover 3-0.

    All media have clearly two problems today: Brazilians and Nowakowski. It's like everywhere the same.


    And I'm not seeing polish fans cheering for Russia. People are literally like "are you nuts" every time only mention this idea. Will be super-exciting, I can't even wait...

    Bruno Rezende said in interview with Sport Express that Ary Graca, president of FIVB, is trying to prevent Brazil from winning World Championship. And Ary Graca is... Brazilian.

    „Могу сказать, что сейчас наши отношения с президентом далеки от хороших. Полагаю, он пытается максимально затруднить нашей команде путь наверх. Да, Граса – бразилец, но для него победа Бразилии в Польше стала бы крайне неприятной вещью. Мне кажется, он делает все для того, чтобы помешать нам завоевать золотые медали.”

    First comment below news about a result of the match between Brazil and Poland:


    „ублюдки!!теперь надо слить Бразилии 2-3,и порвать ляхов 3-0 или 3-1!”


    In English: „We need to let Brazil win against us 3:2 and then we just should beat the Poles 3:0 or 3:1”.


    :lol:

    Slow start for Iran. 8-5 Germany.


    Guys, come on! :super:


    Edit: 12-6 for Germans :S Guys, pull yourself together! They're so shaky...

    Half empty hall for Brazil Russia in a F6 WCH game :what: And the atmosphere is like in a classical concert. Is this a protest of some sort?


    I love how just one person shouts "РОССИЯ РОССИЯ", and all the others in the hall are quiet :D Is he a member of staff? Oh, there are a few children shouting as well.


    Edit: Iraaan, don't break my heart now ;(

    25-15 Germany :(


    Iran! I'm begging you! Get cracking, guys!


    They're so ustable, making tones of mistakes, lacking confidence and consitency. They're lacking pretty much in every aspect of the game, but what's most worrying is how they're acting....So lost, unsure and overwhelmed..


    Please, get your sh*t together, Iran...
