Tenerife Marichal - Murcia 3-0 ( 25-14, 25-13, 25-18 )
I've seen the match and this Murcia is really poor. I think they just have no any chance in Champions League with this roster. Ok, they have a lot of new players, but I think they won't form a strong squad even if they get to know better each other. They should sign some experienced, high level players to be competitive in CL.
Neslihan was great, she's just turned back after her pregnancy and got 19 points tonight.
Italy's roster:
Centoni, Croce, Ferretti, Guiggi, Ortolani, Arrighetti, Bosetti, Crisanti, Fiorin, Garzaro, Merlo and Pincerato.

No, it is not Italy. It is Hungary
Polak, Węgier dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki 
Italy went to Havana without Zlatanov and Bovolenta. Coach Anastasi decided to give them a rest. I think he's right. Olimpic Games are far more important that this tournament and obviously he doesn't want to risk an ijury because without Zlatanov, maybe their best player, they wouldn't have much chance to do well in Peking.
If you've seen all teams what do you think about Iranian team? Is it possible for them to beat Japan tomorrow? Japan from the result they reached against Italy seem to be really hot in front of home crowd. I can't see much chance for Iran.
Today i had a reall volleyball`s day Iran-Algieria, Japan-Italy, Australia-Thailand and Poland-Indonesia haha
The fourth set of Italy and Japan was totally amazing. 24:17 for Japan and Italians won the set. What the hell
Game of Australia was booooooooring, Aussies were too good
Hi everyone. I'm Omar from Hungary. I've read this forum for about a year, now I decided to register, too. I like volleyball, anyway, I only watch this sport, I can't play it.
I've already found a lot of useful information here about different tournaments, teams' rosters ecc.
I think this is the best volleyball forum on the net.
