What a Fantastic Match! Czech Republic definitely deserved to win, they played a great match! Also Italy played very well, especially Ortolani and Piccinini 
were amazing, but these young Czechs never gave up..Congrats to them!!
Now, Italy must beat Brazil tomorrow. Actually I think this defeat could be healthy for Italian players and wake them up..tomorrow they will fight so hard to get revenge and still hope to get into semifinals. It will be a crucial battle..
FORZA AZZURRE!!!!
OMG! Italy-Czech Rep 2-0...We were sooo lucky 
I agree with you. Ortolani should improve a lot. also Grothues. She's a young super star for the Dutch team
BTW, who is the girl on your display pic if i may can ask you?
It's Lucia Bosetti's sister...Caterina Bosetti! 16 years old, OH, 180 cm, Gold medal and MVP in the last Junior European Championships 
She is the next future of Italian volleyball 
Congrats to Netherlands!! 
I didn't expect they would play so good, they improved a lot in the last months!! In particular Grotheus is sooo good, very intelligent player...Dutch team didn't miss Stam too much today!
On the other hand, I'm very disappointed by Serena Ortolani. 
She was the weakest point for Italy, too bad for an opposite who is supposed to be the main attack weapon in the team. Ortolani has got lot of power, but no tecnique at all.. not enough for a world class spiker. Fortunately 
Barcellini saved us! Thanks Barcio! 
Oh my! Tomorrow with Dutch will be very difficult without Picci! I hope the girls will be concentrated and play 100%. The match is very important.
if Lucia Bosetti plays like today 
even without Picci we won't have any problem to destroy Holland! 
I hope Piccinini will be ready for the match against Brazil...Forza Lucia and Forza Italia! 
Did you forget the last meeting? Italy 0-3 The Netherlands in Italy!! Don't be so sure! Italy is a great team..But they have up and downs during the game..I think this match will be very hard both Italy and Netherlands..
That match doesn't count much, it was not such an important meeting... Seriously, I saw our team very energic and in shape today, I really doubt Flier can beat us (Netherlands is just Manon and no much else). Anyway, we'll see what happens tomorrow.. 
Hope tomorrow Dutch girls can beat ITA~~
Hahah no way they can do it, sorry Italy is not Czech Republic!
GO ITALY!!!
Super Lucy Bosetti!!!

Jenny Barazza is pregnant! No WCH for her 
Jenny Barazza is pregnant! No WCH for her
Really great team!! Go Unilever!!
Mari will be broken until next spring. She won't take part to next season!
Looks like the Bosetti family will have a bright future in Italian volleyball
Caterina is a phenomenon! She is the only '94 class player of the Italian team and already the leader!
I can't remember a 16 years old MVP at the Junior Euro Championships!! She'll definitely be the Future of Italian female Volleyball!
ITALY!!!
Caterina Bosetti SUPER STAR!
Actually we could say that BERGAMO 2009/10 beat CHINA for 3 - 0
All the Italians who played today, except Barazza and Gioli, won Champions League this year with Volley Bergamo! 
ITALY-CHINA 3-0
Chinese reception is such a disaster, they really missed Hui Ruoqi today! And their setter Wey is not Feng...
Anyway, Italy played a great match! 
Ortolani's powerful attacks were unstoppable and our OH Piccinini - Del Core are so smart!! I think Italy has the most technically endowed couple of OH in the World, they really know how to play volleyball with intelligence and not just with power..
Great Lo Bianco, as usual
Carmen Turlea signed with Conegliano.
Turkish talent Neriman said : Probably i am going to play in Italy
My wish for her is Pesaro or Cortese but rumors say Perugia but they already transfered Popovic and Fataeva
Zoppas Conegliano, which purchased A1 rights from Jesi, is looking for hitters...maybe that'll be her Italian destination? Yesterday local newspapers said Maja Ognjenovic will probably play there..and according to rumors also Serbian MB Dragana Marinkovic is going to sign with this team.
Elisa Togut signed with Crema Volley, in Italian A2 league
