  • National Team Jersey

    Does anyone of you know where to buy jerseys of national volleyball teams online? I'm interested in collecting jerseys of the following teams:
    poland, bulgaria, russia, serbia, france, italy


    May I take the chance here to appreciate Polish volleyball fans for making such a fervent atmosphere in World League.

  • World League 2007

    I agree. A lot of coincidence can occur for a pool with only 3 teams and 2 matches for each team.


    Last year, each team had 3 pool matches (with one against the team in the opp pool with "same" rank in prelim). Teams who could advance were more convincing

    Another funny thing - USA, Russia and Brazil had one victory and one loss but they played on the semifinals while Bulgaria is 5th... I think that this year shedule of the Finals wasn't good. :?

  • WL2007 JAP vs USA

    What do you mean about Roumain? Did he leave the national team because of injury / health problems? I thought he switched to beach volleyball before.


    Quote from "warhorse"

    Roumain is one scary dude. It is too bad he can't stay healthy.


    I see Polster is on the US roster for WL. Hopefully he'll get some playing time.

  • 1994 World Championships Athens

    Quote from "Richard"

    I uploaded the entire 2nd set (700 MB), so here you go: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AA0ZF4CQ



    (Not a second of Belgium's first Euro League confrontations against Germany on television. I checked the regional broadcaster ROBtv, but nothing.
    I saw the first match in which Germany was outstanding: Schöps unstoppable, Hubner 9 (nine!) kill-blocks, very solid service reception and serving throughout the match - top quality volleyball by the Germans. Fortunately, they used 4 substitutes on sunday and allowed Belgium to clinch a 3-2 victory)

    Hi Richard, I can't download it since it's >500 MB and requires a premium account. Is there any other way for me to download it? Thanks!

  • Cuba - Russia WL 2007

    Just like the women's team, Cuba really has physical advantage, though it's not so obvious in men's. This is manifested in those central attacks. The two middle MBs just bombed the balls even if the set went as far from the net as at the 10-foot line.


    After stopless changes since 2001, the current line-up seems to have "stabilized" last year. This team is definitely one of the tallest in the world, probably second to the Russian NT only. If there is no more desertion in this team, the current squad is enough to turn into a real threat in the Beijing Olympics!


    Current pitfalls of the team is the player that the team counts on the most, #9 Sanchez, a young player with huge potential, is not stable. Technique-wise, the team is really awful, though it can be replenished by their talents in jumping...

    Yes, this is a classic that I don't wanna miss! Hope that Justyna or other folks can re-upload this match again. Thx!
