2026 Men's VNL

  • Congrats Ukraine beat Brazil 3-1. Semeniuk and Plotnytskyi were both great. As usual Bernardinho didn't have Arthur and Bryan play, didn't have Barretto in this lineup. Only had Maique as libero and Purezo receiver.

  • Brazil about to lose to Italy tomorrow if Bernardinho doesn't use his bench.

  • Wrong move bringing Douglas to Week 2. They have the same style as Adriano. Should have brought Samuel and maybe Leo Lukas or Maicon.


    As long as Bernardinho doesn't open up a position battle, this garbage is gonna keep going; there are players way too complacent in their starting spots.


    Bernardinho not using Arthur Bento is like Carlo Ancellotti not using Endrick.


    What a nice bday present for Darlan and Barretto. Barretto getting cut from the game was a nice present from Bernardinho.


    Judson and Flavio were kinda terrible, so was Pinta in his few minutes.

  • Indeed, it is a horrible schedule: France x Iran and Belgium x Poland are delivering.

    Belgium has been playing a very well structured vball, recycling so many balls, taking time for counter attacking, etc. Their comeback in the second set was remarkable.
    But they looked out of gas at the beginning of the third set.


    In the other hand, even though I understand France need to do the transition, slowly, it seems their youngsters are struggling more than what Giani expected.
    Slovenia vs Canada are currently tied too.
    Jeez, horrible schedule again.

  • Night matches are really delivering.
    Poland x Turkey: 5 sets.
    Slovenia x Bulgaria : the host team did a gutsy comeback in the 4th set, it really seemed they would grab 3 pts in this match, but now Slovenia is leading 10-4 in the tie-break

    France x Cuba : it is looming to a 5th set. Despite playing at home, the Olympic champions are still showing the same level than in the 1st week, it means way too many errors and lack of communication in defence.
