And thanks Kondzio for the great work done!!

Quote from USAvolleyfan

She started to talk when she was not in WC 2011, and all people said that it wasn't right to leave the NT team like that.. but she had health problems. Lo Bianco also had breast cancer but she was a hero for surviving and getting back to NT. I have nothing against Lo Bianco or Gioli or Del Core but I think Picci was right to talk

totally agree with you USAvolleyfan!

Great job Belgium!!!!!!

they totally deserve this bronze medal!!!

And we have to consider that this team is still young (Van Hecke,Rousseaux,Aelbrecht,Heyrman,Leys) expect for Dirickx..

if they find a new good young setter Belgium can become an amazing reality in the international volleyball!!!

In this final i root for Russia.. they has shown till now a new game style,not anymore related to high balls to opp e oh,but related to a faster game,with more balls to the MB (thank also to the fact that Morozova,Shlyakovaia and Zaryazhko that are the best MB for Russia since almost 10 years)..
also Goncharova and Kosheleva changed their way of hitting,with faster sets.. in addiction there is a player like Pasynkova that can give a big contribution in reception..
i really like this Russian team and i hope they will win the gold..Germany is a very good team,very balanced,but i like way more Russian one..

for the bronze..i hope Serbia is gonna win this,but at the same time i really like Belgium..

hope for 2 amizing matches today!

And this is the star they want to sign with? Is it reliable source?

i liked really much Kosek till last year,a very complete player.. but it seems she is going down so quickly!!
however wasn't Muszyna interested in signing also an OPP?
rumors were about Kozuch and Turlea..any chance that one of them 2 may come?

Russia-Germany 3-1
Serbia-Belgium 3-1

Russia-Serbia 3-2
Belgium-Germany 1-3

Why in legavolleyfemminile.it (official Italian website about female volley) in the roster of Bergamo and Frosinone there aren't Peña and the new Usa oh (in Frosinine's roster)??

Quote from Loca inside

Lindsey Berg getting ready for Rio

honestly hope that in Rio 2016 USA setters will be Alisha Glass and Carli Lloyd..
From now it is their time to lead Usa team..

Quote from samba player

Probably I didn't explain well what I mean. I didn't say that all the 12 teams are on the same level and that all of them can win against strong teams of the other continents. NO!
What I wanted to say is that the differences of level among those 12 teams is much less big than among the teams of other continents. The difference between let's say Germany and Belgium is not that big as with Brazil and any other South American team or between China and any other Asian team that is not Japan, Thailand or S.Korea. The gaps in the other continents are huge.
Another point is that these 12 teams play a good volleyball (it ranges from very good to average good), while other teams of Asia, S.America and N.America do not.
I'm sure France can beat Honduras, Colombia or Vietnam and Belgium can beat Taipei, Argentina or Puerto Rico.

totally agree with you! and this makes ECH reallyinteresting because every time we can find out new good teams!

Russia-Turkey 3-2
Belgium-France 3-0
Germany-Croatia 3-2
Serbia-Italy 3-1

So sorry for Netherlands!!!i really love dutch nt and i wanted so badly Flier&co. Winning the match!

However Fabris is amazing and promising and i think,as i wrote in Croatian nt topic,that she should be the starter!

I am not sure about tomorrow..Croatia can win against Germany and i wouldnt be surprised if this is gonna happen..

would be amazin to see a semifinal between Croatia and Belgium:2 understimated team that can fight for the final!

Go Netherland!!lets do it!

ITs official now - Ortolani in Busto - http://www.volleybusto.com/news.php?id=746

i hope she will be in good shape

Leys is second as best spiker (%) in particular thank to her match against Italy..
if i am not wrong she had 18/26,that means 69% (more or less)..

however i really like Belgium.. Rousseaux,Leys,Van Hecke .. but in particular Heyrman that is really good in blocking.. i hope she will be starter in Modena!!

Any news about Ssuschke and Lehtonen??

Turkey-Belarus 3-0
Italy-Poland 3-2
Croatia-Netherland 2-3
Czech Republic-France 3-1

It is a little unusual to see Russia as best receveing team..
happy for Havlickova as best scorer till now..i love her!!

Quote from Joana

Exactly. And I don't know what Terzic has been doing the whole summer not having any back-up plan for a situation like that. Malesevic and Malagurski haven't basically got s single chance this summer and are probably completely uncoordinated with the rest of the team.

i hope Terzic will give the chance to Malagurski to play.. with Molnar that can cover her i reception,she can be destroying!

Italian team this year is composed by some experienced players,like Guiggi,Costagrande and Arrighetti,and some young ones,like Signorile,Diouf,Cate Bosetti,that need to improve and to get more and more experience and confidence..

i dont understand why some people is so negative about this team:it is time to change something in this Nt and i wouldn't be surprised if next year Costagrande wont be anymore in this team.. it is time for the younger generation and about this ECH the aim is not to win or get a medal absolutely,but to let these new players play in order to give them the chance to improve and to be more confident in themselves..

i dont care too much about the final result this year,but to see the improvement of our young athletes and i think that this is also Mencarelli and Federation's thought.
