Im not sure. Mexico will have the best player on court (Bricio) but Im not sure what the rest of the team looks like (their match started after midnight lol).
It should be interesting, nonetheless.
Canada-Colombia should be interesting as well.... provided they dont flop again.
Well, Colombia defeated France in Challenger Cup, dont u think they should be able to demolish this Canadian B/C-team in a fairly convincing fashion? For me they look superior on paper, at least.
Canada choked again. flop.
A solid win for Cuba... but they have a lot of work to do to try to regain some ground on the top NORCECA teams
Do u think they are able to defeat Mexico tonight? I mean, given they play like yesterday vis-a-vis Canada
Cuba won the 2.set after having been down 24-17 lmao
One of the greatest meltdowns I have ever seen in volleyball (from the Canadian side)

Guidetti and the Russian man in this video which makes fun of stereotypical Russian people lmao:
Why wasnt Vasileva playing in the 1st match?
user You made an extraordinary prediction last night, figuring out in advance that THAI would prevail vis-a-vis BUL. I am very impressed. What are your thoughts about tonights game between Canada and Poland?
Smrek - for sure she would be great addition to the team
That girl, Smrek, is one of the tallest volleyballers I have ever seen, taller than Stysiak, Rettke, Antropova, Anthouli and Gamova. She is 206 cm and born 2003, i.e 19 yrs old. https://women.volleybox.net/anna-smrek-p30207/clubs
Surely she would have been an extraordinarily intriguing player 2 watch in WNL. Btw, her father played in the NBA.
Tha 3-1 Bul
Tur 3-0 Ita
Bold prediction. The price on Thailand is 3.75 @ Bet365, i.e they are quite massive underdogs lol
Is it me or Julia Bergmann is beginning to look like Bartsch-Hackley?
They are not close in terms of looks, imo. The pic of JB was taken some months ago.
Anamarija Galic, the 199 cm tall OPP from Austria born 2001, has been confirmed in Perugia (two weeks ago): https://www.fipavumbria.it/cam…ervizio-di-coach-bertini/
And not so long ago he was coaching Ana Cleger
By the way, does anybody know what that badge on Karpol's jacket in the last matches stands for? I sincerely hope it wasn't something war-related/political, that would make me lose all my respect for him...
How is it possible to call another human being a "monkey" and get away with it? I assume that he does since I cant find any news to the contrary. Both the federation and the club ought to sanction this behaviour. I mean, the incidence/homophobic scandal which caused an uproar in Brazil last year, with the male player Mauricio Souza, wasnt as serious as this one, I think.
The symbol par excellence which represents Russian pro-war attitudes is the one featured on this athlete´s shirt in the pic below (letter Z):
5th and final game coming, VB can thank Tugba and she better be a starter next match lmao. Gabi-Tugba is the hottest short OH duo in volleyball ever! Proving height isn't everything either.
Hmm, Tugba is 185 cm according to this site https://women.volleybox.net/tugba-senoglu-p5523/clubs . Do u find that information to be accurate? In such a case she isnt really short for an OH, its rather average in most non-Euro teams.
If the French LNV Budgets are just for players (which I don't know), 16 players for Nantes at a budget of 1.4 million euros would be around 87,500 euros per player.
Perhaps half of that budget ought to be reserved for salaries, which is still extremely handsome vis-a-vis many other nations and the general pay there. The rest should be expenses for coaches, managment staff, facilities and travels etc. It is not realistic to assume that the players earn 87.500 euro per player. I mean, the average for a basketball-player in French First League for women is 45.000 euro per player and the French League is much better basketball-wise than volleyball-wise, containing some of the best players in the world from the WNBA. An average of roughly 3000-4000 euro/year is more realistic with regard to the salaries of Nantes.
No you are not wrong. In Sweden you would make 6000 euros in two months as a PhD candidate (no benefits included though). Maybe that's why Sweden cannot transfer foreigners lol, you are not allowed to employ someone that cheap, they won't issue a visa unless you earn 1300 euros/month.
Tbh, this is great, albeit not incredible put into context with other hyper-wealthy western nations. In Switzerland, according to this website https://www.eui.eu/programmesa…eersbycountry/switzerland , the average PhD candidate accumulates an amount of 55.000 dollar per year, i.e exceeding 4500 dollar per month with much lower tax rate than in Sweden (like 20%, somewhat depending on location given their regional tax system).
Antropova = Gamova 2.0
Indeed, the reaction in Brazil has been huge. This was probably the main subject in the Internet this week, even outside the bubble. Pretty much everyone has an opinion, or is asked to express it. To give you an example, today Tite, coach of the soccer NT, had to say something because it became a "thing" the fact that his son, who's also a member of the NT staff, liked Maurício's posts. If you go through his latest comments, you'll see the "elite" of the Brazilian government sending encouragement to Maurício: Congress people, Senators, Ministers of State, Secretaries, top influencers... Having said, I wouldn't put past the Bolsonaro band the ability of mobilizing their bots. You just never know.
Initially I thought he ought to have bought followers, because he had 1.0 mill 5h ago and 1.3 mill now, but without awareness of the scope of his latest scandal. Looking more deeply into how these news about him have exploded in Brazil it might be real. I mean, he has 127k comments and 414k likes on his last post, the reactions are massive. Thus he might genuinely be making these absurd "gains" naturally, ofc.
Nasya Dimitrova and Kitipova from Bulgarian NT represents Prometey here. The former Cuba NT-attacker Casanova acts as the OPP for the Ukrainian team.
