    Dominican Republic not so hard? Look at Olympic Games :) Thailand for me is second team in Asia ;) So Algeria just have a chance against Netherland, but i think, that they will finish with 0 sets.

    I'm sorry for Algeria, but I think they don't have a chance against Dutch NT ;)

    Sry, but I still think Dominican isn't so hard, In the Olympics, they just beated England and Algeria?!

    Every team can beat such teams.


    Sry for being honest but it's just my opinion.
    Forgive me if I do any offense.

    Sorry, but they played against Russia, Italy, Japan and USA, so these teams are very good. Of course Dominican Republic is weaker than these teams, but for me is better than Serbia, Poland, Netherlands, Cuba. And they played very well against Russia. They almost played tie-break against them. Great Britain and Algeria were beaten easy 3:0 of course :) So this team is very hard for Great Britain and Algeria :)

  • FIVB promised to reveal the schedule of the matches as well as the locations and the host of the WL by the end of January, but they didn't so far. Any clue about any likely locations for the WGP?. :)

    Hands down the funniest post in a long time :lol: :lol: :lol:
    Sorry the only scenario when Algeria wins one set against those teams (let alone game) is when they play (Tha, Ned, Dom) with 16 year old girls in squad.
    no offence...
