Quote from superbobo

Finland this time didn't give even a set to Poland. Now Poland must take two games in a row or... no "wild card". And today's game with Cuba was kind of arranged game. New president of FIVB came, president of Bulgaria was there also mayor of Sofia Boyko Borisov. Even though I'm happy because we played well, still we need good shape. If Japan continue with those games maybe Russia will have chance to qualify. But I think Finland will get the wild card.

If we don't get the 2nd place which is now doubtfull we don't even try to get the wild card...

Kaczor is playing very well in the last 2 months, she is our best player for the moment I guess (maybe only Baranska and Sadurek could be compared). Nobody thought that she would play so good especially that she spent almost whole season on the bench in Muszyna... And now we know that Skowronska and Bamber have some health problems so Kaczor will probably play the whole Grand Prix.

those friendly matches first Poland lost to Belarus than Germany to Czech republic now Holland

Yeah! World qualies should be very interesting... or everything will come back to normal: 3-0 for favourites.

Jagielo is in rooster. Wielki Znawca Pierwszy must have forget about her, he only put 13 names.

Poland - Belarus 2:3 (25:14, 17:25, 25:18, 25:27, 14:16) SHOCK!!!! Poland had match points in 4th set

I've just lost one score - does anybody knows the score of Japan - Belarus match on the 3rd day of tournament

Can't believe that Brazil lost to Dominican Rep. At first I thought that they're playing with their deep reserve... But as I remember Brazil had some troubles with the Domenicans in the past especially in tournaments held in America such as Pan American Games

Marieke - You need to buy a Polsat Decoder but I don't think they are selling it in Netherlands...

Gamova will play in ECH probably. She will only train with Russia squad throloughly World Grand Prix - like Glinka in 2007 I think with Poland.

Even without them we're goin' to beat Turkey and Netherlands like the last couple of times

I didn't expect that Czech girls are so weak 9 and 16 points hmmm.......

Poland will meet Russia twice - in Rzeszow 14.07 and in Lancut 15.07 but before that they will meet Belarus also twice on 4th and 6th of July in Pila

Also Poland B played Sweden two times and won both meetings:
1st - 4:0 (25:18, 25:13, 25:18, 25:16) (both teams agrred to play 4 sets)
Poland B: Kaczmar, Wellna, Kaczorowska, Kosek, Szafraniac, Efimienko, Maj (L). and Haładyn, Tkaczewska, Sieczka.

2nd - 25:17, 25:13, 25:7
Poland B: Wellna, Kaczmar, Kosek, Kaczorowska, Efimienko, Koczorowska, Maj (L) and Sieczka, Szafraniec, Tkaczewska

oh it's a big shame I really enjoyed last year's edition

We revenged the losts from Japan in Montreux and Torino this year - 3 : 0, 3 : 0, 3 : 1

And for the matches POL - USA we will probably have to wait till 2010...

or Maybe final six in Japan this year

Great job from Poles! I don't remember when was the last time they started season so well.

What's wrong with Italy A?
Maybe they train togehter for a very short period...

jarul777

thx!!

I really hope for today semifinal POL - ITA. Did someone record it?

It's a shame that Poles does not play USA this year. We could get some revenge from the previous defeats. I only know 4 or 5 players from the US squad.

Poland beat Italy 3-1. They will play Japan in final. Nice surprise

Poland decided not to participate. They will only play one or two friendly game with Russia in Poland in July before World Qualies
