2019 Volleyball Nations League (VNL)

  • Well, USA started to serve much better in the 4th set. In the last points they score like 3 aces.

  • Who knew controlling your service faults can win a game? :lol:


    Jendryk is the game changer. Holy moly. All those serves at his end destroyed Brazil.

  • Russia will be the underdogs against the USA tomorrow hope we can have a good match :box:

  • Why?

    Difficult question 😁

    He just decided that these 24 hours more in Poland will give Polish team Olympic qualification, gold medal at ECH and WC :lol:

    But seriously, his explanation was that he wants to join team which is preparing to Olympic qualies in Poland

    Polish journalists make real drama because of it and that he left his team.

    Interesting choice indeed. It would have been a bit more sense if he didn’t go to Chicago at the first place with that reason but leaving just before last one match makes no sense at all.

  • They deserved to get bronze ! Team with fighting spirit is what I like the best. You can lost one game but do not surrender anytime. Thank you !

  • Bad match by Brazil, Wallace, Lucarelli and Leal struggled very much in attack and were all subbed. Quite a mess in every aspect of the game, nobody managed to change the trend. It looked like some of them didn't even really tried (Wallace and Lucas were quite off).

    Poland had great blocks and a very good effort in defence, plus they put in trouble many times the reception line of Brazil with their serves. Good match from all the polish players, everybody contributed positively, with Bednorz being outstanding.

  • Bednorz was a standout, he should really join the main team.. Congrats Poland! And what does that say about Brazil's team? They almost beat USA yesterday but maybe Poland is Brazil's kryptonite..

    Brazil had their main rosters attend all VNL preliminary matches and final 6. They've been exhausted.

    In final 6, they played three 5-set matches in a row in three days. They have nothing left in tank. Today it's an easy win for young Polish team.

    Check the roster of Poland's NT in WCH final 2018

    WS starters: Kubiak and Szalpuk

    WS subs: Sliwka and Kwolek


    After Leon joined Poland NT, the chances for BB to get an OH spot in NT are slim.

    Leon, Kubiak will be starters, and Szalpuk and Sliwka will be subs.

    Kwolek is also a good sub option. BB's offense is fine, but his defense and reception are not solid when he's on the back row, which limits his contribution in NT.

  • A lot of nerves and erros in this first set. Neither of the teams displayed a good performance. Hope they raise the level and that we have a good match from now onwards

  • Congrats Russia! For the back to back title! :super:

    Once again, a good performance by Iakovlev with 4 blocks. Volkov was just superb in this match.

  • Happy for Viktor, Yaro and Russia 🏆🏆🏆🏆🍾🍾🍾😘😍🥇🥇🥇🥇

  • Incredibly bad timing for USA to have Jaeschke and Russell both unhealthy for the final round. They could've won this tournament if one of them are just fine.

  • Russia served really well and pass decently. A lot of their serves at first were not going in but mentally they improved and it was the story of the match.
