Bulgaria is so inconsistent that I could see them winning on that fact. ![]()
I feel Serbia's chink in the armor is Petric... Sokolov being a great blocker at the opposite could really hurt them when Petric plays badly and no one can replace him. That's how I feel anyway. Think Serbia is pretty okay everywhere.
Serbia is just much better than Bulgaria. No way Serbians can lose this one
High level of emotions as expected in games like this, I mean between two balkan teams
still I need more heart from Bulgaria, come on you guys, don't be such kids. Хайде! ![]()
Guy responsible for music in hall wants to make it even more balkan. I can hear Shantel's "Disko partizani"
I expect "Боят настана" in some hard moment for Bulgarians ![]()
Vettori can't kill a ball. ![]()
Luburic improved attacking on the left side. That seemed to be his problem during World League.
Wasnt Sabbi the last top scorer of the Italian League? I dont think he could be worse than Vettori. Once again, nothing against "Il Vetto", but last time he performed really well wearing italian NT jersey was in the ECH 20213 final. After that, just some little sparks.
Serbia is better than Bulgaria, but I really dont think this match would end in 3 sets. So far, it seems Sokolov is on fire ![]()
Vettori with 3 kills and 3 errors. ![]()
Sabbi fell out of favor since he was sent home along with Zaytsev, Travica and Randazzo. He will not get in as long as Vettori doesn't break a leg on court.
Bulgarians bite back
That's the spirit! хайде хайде !
Looking good, so far, looking very good!!
Italy is going to have a hard time without a functional opposite. ![]()
So it has to be 13-6 for Belgium in order to make play Sabbi...Italy is being slammed in this set and it doesnt seem the story would change for the next one.
No reception, no defense, not power. And I dont see anybody in the bench who could bring so change.
Blengini has the same face that Tillie had yesterday ![]()
Oh my saint George and all the other saints... You can't lose such an advantage just like that, you just can't ![]()
I had doubts Italy will enter double digits. LmAO ![]()
Come on Legavolley, invite more American players to play in our league. We obviously need more foreigners to help our youngsters grow.
Belgium destroyed Italy in 2nd set. ![]()

Does Italy has a good prospect in U19 or U21 category in the opposite position?
Nelli seemed promising, but then I didnt hear much about him, just a bench player in Trentino last season.
Italy´s men NT in youth and junior category hasnt had the same success than the girls, however I think they have achieved good results in the last 5 years. But I think you are right, there are few teams in the Italian Super League where guys who are U21 are starters. Whereas, it doesnt happen with the girls.
Everybody agrees this 10' break is a stupid idea, i hope.
