    I forgot to post in the past, but a interesting pic.


    While USA team was training for the Norceca Olympic Quali, they recieved the visit from brazilian coach Bernardinho and his wife and former setter Fernanda Venturini, who posted this photo in her instagram. They were on vacation and got the time to check out Courtney and Kiraly in the States. ^^

    Oh That is cool, thanks for posting.


    For those who doesn`t know, Ze Roberto went to Turkey during the OG Qualification and got to spend a few days with Sheilla.

    There is a video on Facebook featuring Mari and Logan.. it doesn't say where they are but I guess Logan is in Indonesia, so rumors were true and Mari is also in Indonesia


    Can you share the video or the page to see it please? ^-^

    It has actually been several days since Mari confirmed she was going to play with Logan in Indonesia.

    Finally some news on why Logan is not on the NT! I really feel sorry for her

    I was just reading it and that part about Kiraly's phone call really made me angry. So that's how you thank one of the best volleyball players in history? Really, Karch? :down:

    That's what I thought! And it's not even that important that she was one of the best in the world, but how important she was for USA volleyball for the last decade.. As she said the what was told wasn't the biggest problem, the way it was told was. Shame on Kiraly

    One of the reason why I dislike Kiraly: he's more primadonna now as coach than he was as player. Logan is considered the female Kiraly, do you seriously think he would like staring under the lights with her and not alone? Everywhere the girls go, it's all about him. No matter Lang Ping and McCutcheon are far away better coaches. Everyone talks about him like a God on Earth. :down:


    I hope we'll find another coach as soon as possibile. I'm tired of his breathing lessons.

    For gods sake ! Regardless what he has said or though, he brought the first major women volleyball title in the USA's history ! ...
    As he well said on that interview , decisions are hard to make and one never will get everyone's approval.
    I do think he has done a great job as a coach, bringing a lot of speed to the game consolidating the USA as real volleyball power house.

    I think he's just using the bases built by Lang Ping first and McCutcheon after. Both of them never had so many talented players! He has into his hands the most talented generation USA volleyball ever had!


    His system can work or not, but still McCutcheon's was better. Blocks disappared from this team. Digging was on higher level. And yes, he won a major title, when most of the other teams were under construction (China) or on lower level than their previous standars (Brazil). Let's see what he does against a more confident China and Brazil hungry for a gold medal at home (last tournament for many of the world class players of the team). And to be honest, it was mostly the lifetime tournament of a single player than the team works the key for that victory. Since then Hill is back to her standard so so level.


    No Logan Tom, no Destinee Hooker. What a coincidence! :whistle:

    Without Destinee Hooker, USA will not win gold medal. Mark my words.
