Couple of mistakes on Zaksa that turn the momentum to Civitanova. They need to win this game without going to tiebreak. Too bad they are in such a tough group.

The ref is blind. Lube doesn't deserve any card if they get one on this match for complaining.
-
I do like how resilient Zaksa is. They don't play well but they just don't stop being a pain in the a#rse for Lube. Playing in front of their fans may help here....
-
What a great play from Sam Deroo. Fooled basically everyone.
-
Wow. Did they really skip the match point!?
-
Wooooooowww! What a match! What a game by Sam Deroo! Zaksa please beat Sada .
Did you see the finish of the 16-18 point? I was watching on Youtube and they skipped a few seconds....
-
In the end, the Polish lost. I knew it from the very start.
And when will the Cuban asylum seeker stop being a c####nt?

Wow. Did they really skip the match point!?
LOL I thought I was the only one who didn't see the last point.Anyways, the moment Buszek missed that hit basically gives the victory to Civitanova... Good games from both sides after all. ZAKSA really had fought till the last minute. I was amazed by the energy Sam showed in this match. Hopefully two consecutive 5-setters won't exhaust the players. It also depends on whether Sada will wake up in today's match.
Good luck to ZAKSA. Respects

Tsvetan Sokolov with 4 blocks. Sometimes I wonder if the guy is a middle blocker or an opposite.
-
Mousavi out for tonight (injured during the warm up), that's the end of the tournament for Sarmayeh.
-
I follow some of the European leagues, so I was mostly looking forward to watching the non-European teams. Thanks to a Brazilian YouTube uploader, we have access to their league and Cruzeiro's matches. Which left us with Bolivar, Shanghai, and Sarmayeh as teams whose shape/game is relatively unknown.

He did play as in the past MB
Anyway is ability in blocking isn't a mystery, last year he was the top blocker of the Superlega!
. Maybe Kk15 will give more inside
No idea! I didn't even watch the match... -
I've seen Ren Qi and Shen Qiong play together on the national team together, and I know they aren't that old. Ren Qi as a libero may even have a longer "shelf life", but yes, injuries can put a damper on things. Are his injuries that bad? Maybe he just needs a long rest. I mean look at the two Serginhos of Sada and Corinthians...
That match between Sada and Lube, I had thought that Sada would at least even up, but they were made to look like kids. I just kept scratching my head seeing Leal and Simon struggle that badly.
Lube got everything going right, it was just a pleasure to watch. Christenson looked just a bit over-eager on defense to me. He shanked the ball a couple of times after leaving his defense post to "meet" the ball. It looked very odd to me. Has he always played like this in Italy? -
Lyneel wanted to play the match but Shen Qiong refused him.
OH - Zhong Wei-jun is still that Zhong Wei-jun - not good reception, not bad spike and not good dig. Zhang Bing-long is "the younger Zhong Wei-jun". Even they could also play as an opposite hitter. Zhang Chen is the same as himself in the first match.
OP - Jiang Chuan is still bad and Wang Jing-yi still did his best.
MB - Gu Jia-feng is lack of experience. Of cource, the tournament is not from U-series though he just played U23 ACH this year as the member of Chinese team.
S - Despite no words to say, I prefer Liu Meng to Zhan Guo-jun now.
L - "Ren Qi, would you like to return Chinese senior men's NT for 2018 WCH? Still no one can replace you now." After all, he is the best libero of 2011 World Cup.

Unfortunate for Zaksa. They can't produce enough pressure through the serve to take away the second set.
-
If Sada wins today, I think Zenit will lose to Skra to avoid Sada Cruzerio
-
Sada Cruzeiro looks weaker from the last edition. I'm not sure if that's smart. I just wish FIVB adjusted the schedule to prevent a scenario like that.
-
This is the Sada I know. They're still shaky at some points, but it seems they've woken up.
Regarding Zenit, either way they're having strong opposition in the semis. Doesn't make a lot of sense to choose between Sada and Lube.

Thank you very much! I already knew about the channel. The only reason I rarely watch those games there is the lulling 1-camera stream. I literally can't stay focused for 2 whole sets. That's the only reason I considered Bolivar's form "less known" which should not be valid for other users, of course

I thought the same, too! I even thought that while Zenit's bench were playing the friendly with Skra, the starters would be travelling by train to Krakow
Not because Cruzeiro are unbeatable at the moment, but because of their recent history. I was sure Zenit would prefer a European opponent in the semifinal, but I am glad they didn't care. ZAKSA on Skra's place would've made for a perfect Saturday. Let's hope Skra will fight against Lube. However, no matter how choke-prone Lube are, they deserve one of the final spots.By the way, if you watch Zenit TV's YouTube video after the match against Shanghai, you would hear Facundo Conte sarcastically complain in English about their coach's decision to bench the foreigners and the more experienced Chinese players against the Russians. I would not understand such a decision either. But we'd seen weird logic by Chinese coaches already...
