One reason why Guidetti's players love him so much... He lets them do normal stuff. Like going clubbing on the last night

Does Steenbergen have Norwegian roots ? Her name is very similar to Norwegian.
No, completely Dutch... The family name comes from a town called called Steenbergen, which means Stonemountains. I think in Scandinavian languages, Stone is usually Sten not Steen, but I might be wrong...
Thanks... Players certainly thought so...
Was that a touch on set point? Looked a bit hight to me...
Robin de Kruijf still not fit to play today...
And in other "ouch" news, Debby Stam just gave a ball girl a bloody nose (with the ball, obviously)
OK, the temptation got too much for me... I'm here 
Old girl Flier still got it 
German NT will not defend their title at Montreux but it looks like Guidetti might...
Bring it on! Makes me want to jump on a plane to Lake Geneva
Hi everyone... Yes it's been a while!
I've just heard that Volleyball England will be hosting an invitational on 12th-13th September at the Copper Box in Stratford (London Olympic Park). I'm yet not allowed to say which teams are in, but we are talking Champions League level (Men and Women). Preliminary details are here and the lineup will be announced in the next few weeks. PM me if you'd like discounted tickets.
Last match of the day:
Aachen - Thüringen 2:3 (25:16 20:25 26:28 25:12 4:15)
http://live.volleyball-bundesliga.de/2014-15/Women/&2045.pdf
MVP: Ivona Svobodnikova / Martina Jelinkova
Another crazy match...Aachen won 1st easily, then Thüringen came back, in 3rd set Aachen was up 24:20 but couldn't use their set points and Thüringen won the set eventually, then in 4th Aachen dominated again and took the match to 5th set. Thüringen started 8:0 there and won easily in the end with amazing blocking, 7 blocks in tie-break
And Aachen 1/15 attacks in tie-break....Lorena Zuleta with 0/9 in attack but incredible 11 blocks (3 in tie-break)
Not sure what happened to Aachen in the tie break, but it seems like quite often one team totally loses the plot. But overall quite an entertaining match with some good rallies. I only discovered after the game that Brinkmann had been in bed all week with a dodgy stomach and only started practicing again this morming... I guess that's why she only scored 19 points tonight 
Thanks... Doesn't seem to work on my ipad... Trying in laptop
Does anyone have a stream for Lokomotiv v Telecom?
Wow! Whatever the outcome of this set, I'm so happy that Italy are making a contest of this match... Fantastic!
Poor thing! What a bad news!
I don't understand the article, why Does she have to undergo an other surgery?
As I understand it, the reconstructed achilles is the wrong length and the intervention is to correct it... Which would mean several weeks back in a cast
She challenged Celeste Plak
Celeste is crazy
But she has lots of hair to protect her
