2014 FIVB World Championship - Italy - 9/23

    I was almost asking who the hell is Dietzen :lol: Is she healthy now? I really don't like Dixon, pity for Gibbemeyer. Klinemann was very weak this year, she didn't deserve to be there but Lichtman could be more helpful than Hildebreand in my opinion.

    IMO Larson and Robinson are the best OH for the USA. Hill is not stable player. She is weak at reception but can be good bench player. Hildebrand is not good shape this year but this is long tournemant as everybody said, so she will be able to help more than Lichtman.

    i feel really sorry about Sanja ;( ;( ;(

    That`s sad. She will be big loss for Canada. Did she end of her indoor career?


    She is still playing club season indoor...she will play in Korea next season...but during summer she is playing beach volleyball world tour. She will try to make to the Olympics in Rio in Beach Volleyball.

    I'm sure now that Korea special didn't use Kim in important phase of qualification to WCH because as Host She wants to win Asian Games.

    Thailand did it official, Korea un-official.

    Azerbaijan with 15 players, still one to be cut, or 3 if they decide to take 12.

    of the above, does anyone know who are not born in AZE? i know rahimova is ukrainian like mammadova, and aghayeva is slovak.

    And Bjelica is out! Tijana Bošković takes her spot.


    Serbian roster for WCh:


    S: Ognjenović, Živković
    OPP: Brakočević, Bošković
    L: Ćebić, Popović
    MB: Krsmanović, Rašić, Veljković, Ninković
    OH: Nikolić, Mihajlović, Molnar, Malešević

    Interesting decision and I have to say I like it. If Boskovic develops well she'll be better than Brakocevic as well in 3-4 years, so I'm glad to see her there.
    However I'd much rather have Malagurski than any of Nikolic/Molnar/Malesevic...

    For me it's a really strange decision. If Brakocevic was 100% healthy, which she maybe is at the moment but was not for the WGP, Boskovic there would be OK. But Jovana was injured what would happen if she gets injured again? Will Boskovic be the one to replace her? If Malagurski was there as OH it would still be OK having Boskovic because Sanja can play as OPP too.. but right now I don't think it's a wise decision. She is talented but has none experience with the NT and is too young.. Bjelica would have been a better replacement..
