2015 World Cup - Japan - 9/8

  • Somehow I like Jarosz a lot more than Konarski. Someone else will say it's better to have Konarski though. Depends on which performances we remember better. I remember Jarosz doing a solid job when things doesn't look colorful, eg. match against Russia during ECH 2011. I have no similar associations with Konarski.


    Ok, you won. I also have such moments in my memory. But we can have much better sub for Kurek. I do not want to mention that I am dreaming about Wlazły come back for OG :D but even ommiting Mariusz - Bartman would be much better than both mentioned Opp subs.

    What about Bociek? He's by far better than Bartman right now.

  • What a second set by Russell! :super: He's playing like an experienced world class player! :cheesy:


    Invisible Anderson as usual in hard sets. Weak Sander on passing and spiking, but he's the one who took the set dominating on the net the last points. Ironic.


  • Feels like you have very tiny respect with such sayings like Bieniek is "girlish" and now the second with Kadziewicz :huh: Kadziewicz is still learning being a good journalist and at least he doesn't respond sharply while Jarosz attacks him openly almost every time.

    There are many better volleyballers than Kadziewicz who don't need celebrity fame. For example I have never seen Winiarski, Zagumny or Wlazły in studio before matches.

    And you're not the only one, Wlazły will be always needed. I think Bartman is more useful than both Jarosz and Konarski in terms of fighting spirit and distinct character. However his instability if it comes to switching the position doesn't help him. There is no way for him to return to the team as an OH. But Antiga won't ever take him as an OPP as well if he'll be playing as an OH in club, somewhere in China in addition :whistle:

    Guma was in studio few days ago in the day of our match against Russians if I remember well :D I can remember Winiarski being in studio during some other tournament though he was a bit shy ;) Kadziewicz is a person who lives being a celebrity and loves it and why not if he is not playing volleyball any longer? ;)

  • Even Apalikov could make a difference today. Shameful perfomance from Russian MBs.
    Now it is on Argentina ;( ;(
    I don't know if this Russia can qualify through European qualifications. Their blocking is a mess now

    The last set was the same picture like from WL. Nothing has changed for a better...

    Hate to say it, but i saw this danger already before the tournament......
    Leaving Volvich aside, the only international tournaments for Kurkaev/Vlasov were on junior level or EG. Add less effectiveness of Muserskiy and Mikhailov on unusual blocking positions and there you have the mess.
    The desperation of Alekno about the shape of Sivozhelez/Spiridonov/Ilynykh must be immense :white:

  • So who will be the best opposite?
    Zaytsev, Kurek or Anderson? I think one will be MVP, who gets the second play will get the best OPP award.


    Best starting six (again it depends on rankings and statistics);
    Setter: Christenson or Fukatsu ?De Cecco?
    Libero: Zatorski?
    OPP: Zaytsev ? Abdelhay?Kurek?Anderson?
    MBs:Sole? Holt? Lee? Mousavi?
    OH: Kubiak, Juantorena? Russell? Conte? Mikhaylov? maybe Ishikawa from host country
    MVP: Kurek? Anderson?Zaytsev?


    Tomorrow will be interesting :what:
