    So Japan and Brazil the same as in Montreux and Italy with some changes, without Bianchini, C. Bosetti, Chirichella and Gennari.

    Gold medal - World League 2013 Prediction Game
    Bronze medal - World League 2012 Prediction Game

    It's become more obvious that Italy will go with Signorile as main setter this year :roll: really?

    Will Turkey play with the A team? :what:

    Brazil will participate with the same team as Montreux?
    Panamerican Cup starts in seven days...

    Quote from FemaleVolley

    Will Turkey play with the A team? :what:

    Seems like they will in order to prepare Mediterranean games i know it's ridicilious :rolll: but our sports minister wants Gold medal from them.

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

    No Camera? :down: :wall:


    And if Caracuta get more than 1 minute on the court I'll be quite surprised.

    Nice to see that Sportube will broadcast all matches. Alassio Cup becomes more interesting year by year. I mean, this year is more competitive even than Montreux. Italy will be stronger here and if Turkey plays with Mediterranean Games and not with European League roster will be stronger than all Montreux teams. Make sure we will watch exciting matches. :dance6:

    Quote from Matthias

    It's still early in the summer, I expect Camera to join the team soon :win:


    Caracuta is not so bad as many of you think...she may not be one of the best setters worldwide, but she is ok and definitely better than Signorile.
