You have 3 people at the same time.. 20 years ago you had Natalia Hanikoglu, should we still be bidding until 2000?
Italian male team probably had 10+ naturalized player', what the hell are you still pushing?🤦 Let it go

Natalia Hanikoglu? i remember, she was a good Russian player, is she still active? now probably she is 50 years old!
Does anyone know how to access volleystations from past VNLs?
or am i just stuck going through the VBW VNL website for past stats lol

Go to "matches" and there you can select previous years. Stats are only available for last year's matches though, but I guess previous years didn't have Volleystation yet.
On my phone I can change the season? Or do you mean sth else (this is the link I got saved https://vnlm.volleystation.com/en/schedule/)

I'm not gonna move, edit, delete or simply do anything, because this is too much. Better for some of you, because if I do something now, half of the forum would be gone.
The topic will stay closed. You can go express your opinions on Twitter, the land of the trolls. Not that our forum is any better nowdays.
Enough is enough. You have been warned multiple times.
And don't ask me to open it again, because I'm thinking to keep it closed for the whole final stage of the tournament. Let's take the toy out of your hands.
The VNL topic is now open. Don't make me regret my decision.
No real surprises in the bets: at Wednesday afternoon Italy is clear cut favorite against USA, as Brazil vs. Germany at Thursday evening. Host Poland (Lodz) is only slight favorite against China at Wednesday evening as Turkey is against Japan on Thursday afternoon.
It is quite strange how Turkiye is still favourite.
NORCECA says the VNL qualification window lasts until the end of calendar year 2025, which includes the NORCECA events + World Champs.
That directly conflicts with the VNL regulations which states "The best team in the World Ranking as of the end of the VNL edition and that did not participate in the VNL will be promoted to the next edition".

Türkiye height versus shorter Japanese team. Not hard at all.

I think Ukraine Volleyball Federation already announced that they will be replacing Korea next season

but if you get blocked by taller teams or, you can’t block people, which often happens to Japan, it does not surprise me.

I think that would have been a better criteria indeed if fivb will keep refusing to make a challenger tournament![]()

Brazil has been playing with 3/4 opposites every week and still none of them is impressive to be a dominant starter

IMHO the ranking system could be fine, but teams need to have the same chances to earn points.
PR played just 3 games till the end of july, while Ukraine (and european teams in general) have at least 12 games from EL + 2 games in the finals.
Panamerican Cup and Norceca Final Six cannot happen because they involve the teams playing VNL and there is no way DR would give up these tournaments, because they want to break records for medals and individual awards.
