World League 2008

  • We will see, but this games in Chicago, Hoffman Estates will be almost host matches for us, because in Chicago is the biggest community of bulgarians in USA, and most of them have already bought tickets... so will be a great matches...but lets first beat Spain twice in Varna and then we will make predictions. ;)


    Yes, I learned that a couple of weeks ago. One of the technicians who came to my house explained that fact. He will begin engineering school in the fall. He too heard that many Bulgarians in Chicago will be attending. I emailed the director of a Bulgarian news website in Chicago to provide me comments for my preview article but I did not get any response. It should be fun!

  • Oh, I even didn't know. There is also the biggest community of Poles in Chicago :D It is probably the most slavic city in USA.


    Yes, I attended a USA vs. Poland womens national team friendly match held in Chicago in 2006. It was great. The USA national team thought they were the visiting team as largest majority of the fans were Polish. Red and white everywhere!


    Photos I took from that match...

    Bulgaria defeated the European champion
    Spain and made a bad memory opponent's return in the World league. In
    front of 5300 spectators in Varna, including the President of the
    country Mr. Georgi Parvanov and celebrating his 35th aniversery captain
    Plamen Konstantinov, hosts thrilled the crowd with a high class
    volleyball.

  • In this match I noticed that the connection between Zhekov and the middles Tsvetanov and especially Gaydarski was very good, in my opinion much better than before.I hope things will go on in the same way.

  • Egypt-Poland 1:3 (20-25,25-13,17-25,21-25)


    That's good, that Poland have taken a revange, but I will remember longer about the defeat from friday, than about this victory. And the 2nd set was terrible 8| I don't understand how they lost 25-13 to Egypt. It looked awful. One good aspect from this games is that we have one victory. Two things: 1) it is not for a first time, when I think Gruszka as an opossite is not a good idea; 2) I don't understand why Bartman didn't play in the second match. He should play more against teams like Egypt.


    About Bulgaria-Spain. It looks like Spaniards forgot about being European Champions just after they had won the title...
    However, it is very good result for Bulgaria, which play without key players.

    The last set Bulgarian players were increddible especially in attack. Another great match for Dani Milushev and good debut for Teodor Bogdanov. Martin Stoev gave a chance to all players in the team to take a part in the match.

    Wild Wild West!

  • Pilński and Wlazły instead of Grzyb and Bąkiewicz in Polish squad against China :huh:
    I understand it cause we had very bad blocks and attack against Egypt, but it isn't good, that Wlazł and Pliński won't be able to rest more.
