  • No Vakif in Poland again. Oh well.
    At least there's Azerrail in Dabrowa, yeah :dance4: :woohoo:

  • I think this year's draw is more balanced than last year.


    @ Burak


    You must be happy, to see both Dresdner and Yamamay in Istanbul :D

  • wow pool A with Cannes Vakif and Uralochka... and B with Sopot Villa and Baku look the hardest...


    Yes, they look definitely the hardest, but in general the draw is balanced.


  • yes that's true...there a lot of teams that are really good so...

    Cannes - Vakif' Istanbul, what an big (amazing) revenge OMG !!!

    F4 2011: Fener-Vakif GSTT 4-13 at the end of tie break 1/2 final. Vakif' winner C'L. 2013 and 44 victories Just amazing :rose:

  • It will be also interesting to see Galatasaray and Yamamay in the same group :D By the way nice draw for Eczacibasi ^^

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

  • In that season Cannes will be with average or even with the worst reception line but maybe Fang will create miracle.

    Ekaterinburg-Cannes will be revenge from the 2003 CL Final, who knows maybe it will be first confrontation since that Final.

  • I wonder if Urbino really will participate since they have been sued for failed payments of Crisanti, Ivana, Sirressi, Blagojevic during long time, as Joana wrote in Serie A thread.

    I guess they would have withdrawn if there really was a chance they'd get into big trouble, in men CL one French team withdrew last week as far as I know. I'm sure Urbino would get very severe punishments from CEV if they'd quit CL now...

    Yepp, but it stinks a lot 2 want play in CL while at the same time dont give salaries to the star-players...dont really get it, with economical problems CL is not the solution u would think.

    Well cannes And ekaterinburg played each other in CL 2003-2004 and 2005-2006.
    For the reception i don't know. Arcangeli, kozlova And markevitch can receive i guess.
    It will be à hard pool for them.
