Why Hoag is not playing

Nice news. I hope we can see finals in some different countries and not only Brazil, Poland, Italy.

I watched some games of Monza and I really liked Oleg Plotnytskyi . I really think he will be a star in the future. Great server and attack.

About Ravenna, i think they have a good team, specially OHs and Opp, but MBs are not so strong. if they had better MBs they would have more sucess. Austrian Opp is really good.

And in Verona, i dont like Spirito, i think he is not creative.

PGE Skra-Novosibirsk: Wlazly didn't play. There was barely an ounce of serve pressure from Belchatow and that killed their team. Lisinac played opposite in the third set. Not bad performance but it is the second loss for Skra in their group and they will have to face Dinamo Moscow next.

Perugia-Fenerbahce

Chaumont-Dinamo Moscow

Kedzlerzyn-Kozle-Trentino(Match of the Week)

Maaseik-Arkasspor

Skra is not strong this season. They lost this game so easily. No pressure at all.

Untill now only teams from Russia and Italy seems to have chance to win CL, the others are there just to participate.

I hope Perugia and Fenerbahce can be a good game at least.

Quote from Mamdani

Sada has never been the best team in the world. They just benefited from the advantage of the time zone (that this year has damaged them) and generous refs in Brazil. Right now, Zenit is the best team in the world by far (they can loose this evening, but they are still the best). By considering the league, I think that the best one is the Italian as usual

I dont think you watched that game.

IMO is not easy to say if Cruzeiro, Zenit, Civitanova ou any other team is the best in the world. They play in different leagues, with different styles. All i can say is that Cruzerio won the last two WCH and it was not because of the time zone or the refs. Of course playing at home was important for Cruzeiro, but that was not the main reason. Only if you play a perfect game you can beat a strong team like Zenit. And Cruzeiro played two great finals.

I would love to watch more games between Zenit, Cruzeiro, italian teams and some others, because i like to watch good volleyball.

Willian for me is the best brazilian setter, much better than Bruno, and i think Uriante is not in the same level as Willian. Uriarte is a good setter, but he is not creative and when the reception was not good he was not precise. Toniutti would be the best choice for Cruzeiro this season Even Kreling "Cachopa" would be a good choice, but he is still too young for such responsability. I thought that Cruzeiro would play with him this season. Uriarte was a surprise for me.

Now i wanna see how Crueiro will react in brazilian league.

Congrats to Russia.

Germany tried so hard

After a bad year, this result can help Germany to be stronger.

Quote from Rains_of_Castamere

Zhigalov's ace again.

He did it a lot of times in ECh. The best server here

Tobias Krick is a great addition to German NT.

Quote from Kk15

I actually have no idea and I'm quite annoyed by it

I agree too on Berezhko and Kurkaev, but I would change Volvich for every Italian MBs

First set lost by Russia in the ECh, and it could have been a even more clear loss if Germany hadn't done several errors from 15-23 to 20-23...

I dont like Volvich neither, but in this ECh he was playing really good.

Germany is playing really well. Their service and block is making Russia think about the block and where attack. Mikaylov is not playing like in last games.

I agree, i prefer Berezko, with him the reception is better and he is playing good in attack.

Nice to watch a good game vs Russia after what Belgium did yesterday.

Lets see if Germany can keep playing like this, great service and block.

Quote from powsoff

Kluka wasn't in the starting line-up, was introduced when things became pretty clear. Good to advance to the finals, annoying that this bunch of schoolkids took somebody's place in the SF. Sam Deroo is my man of the match.

If im not wrong Kliuka came in in the end of first set. But this game was so boring that im not sure anymore.

It would be great if we could have seen France in their best moment here facing this Russia, or Serbia with Ivovic.

Belgium has no good option on bench that can change a game. They rely too much on Deroo and Dries, and when both of them are not playing well they can not beat a top team.

Rousseaux improved a lot. I remember him playing some years ago and his attack was not so good.

Belgium lost this game before the game begins. Of course Russia is playing the best volleyball here, but you need to try at least.

They were afraid of getting blocked. I dont know this russian libero, but i did not understant why they served so many times on him. Kliuka is not the best receiver in the world.

Slovenia in first phase had chance to win 1st and 2nd set, they were playing a little bit better than Russia. But Russia win both, and after that they seem like no one can win a set against them.

To win Belgium will need a great reception and serve really well.

Rosseaux is trying really hard to do something, Deroo needs to improve his game.

Russia 7 aces. Belgium 0

This Russia is so amazing.

Russia is playing like they did against Slovenia or even better. Block, defense, attack and server all great

Belgium ntill now can not do anything to put Russia in a diffcult situation.

Quote from Leonardo.D

Yes sure! Final with Slovenia was just a shock two years ago. It was much much bigger than this final. I am just saying both of these finals were unexpected. Of course, Germany has an easier path this year than Slovenia two years ago. The first "real" threat they faced was this Serbian team (will all the de respect to the Slovanks, Czechs, Italians).

But even win this win, I still think Belgium and Russia are one level above Germany.

I think Russia is two levels above Germany and Belgium

But i hope Belgium can play today their best match ever.

Congrats to Germany.

I always thought that Germany would have more chances vs Serbia than Belgium vs Russia, if Russia keep on playing like they did in previous games.

Grozer is so important, it seems they are a tottaly different team with and without him. With Grozer all players are more confident. Nice to see Germany in a final after such a bad year.

Serbia again lost a important game. This generation is so good but they can not archieve results that i think they can.

If reception is good, Kampa should play more with MBs,mainly Krick that is playing good untill now. I prefer Bohme than Andrei.

I watched this so many times here. A team have a chance to close the set, and then they lost it after some mistakes.

Sokolov could not score the last 3 balls that he attacked.

The final Russia vs Serbia is coming. Russia is playing the best volleyball. Reception is so good with Dimitrov and Berezko. Grankin is playing perfect. They have a real strong service. IMO if Russia keep playing like this i dont think anyone can beat them.

Belgium will have a reaaly dificult game. They will need Deroo and De Dries in their best version. ROsseaux is playing a good competetion too.

I thik if any suprise can happen it will be in the game Serbia and Germany. Serbia is favorite, but i think they have a better chance than Belgium to play the final. Kampa needs to play more with MB. Only Grozer will not be enough.

Today 3 games 3x0, really weird, mainly because the difference between some teams are so small.
