Quote from 7UP

It was not fixed... Niemczyk wrote about it in his book. More German players were food-poisoned, not only Grun. But Germany started the game with them and Niemczyk ordered girls to lose first set, they lost. And then German coach took poisoned players off to give them rest and Poland won. Simple as that. The match was not fixed, Niemczyk just let them win first set to see if they take Grun off and they did. It was rather good startegy than fixing...

He wrote something like "I would never fix the match. But you have to do everything withing the rules to help your team". Fixing is when 2 teams cooperate in it, not only one...

So it was stupid of German coach, he would have won the match 3-0 with food-poisoned players. Sounds totally legit.

Quote from Gomes

I thought the same .... I hope Croacia get some sets against Netherlands.. because I don't think that German team will beat Croacia in Straight sets...

There is some players who have some emotional conection with Guidetti and Dutch players... but Furst have already played with all of turkish Girls line up (except Eda i think) ..

she played with Eda in 2010-2011 season in Fenerbahçe Acıbadem

Coach: Terzic

players:
1. Maja Ognjenovic
2. Jordan Larson
3. Tatiana Kosheleva

Quote from crovolley

They will call new libero in team or ?

yeah Gizem Örge joined the team 2-3 days ago

and no doubt Folie really hates him back

It's not like everyone here is full of anger against Russia currently. At their bests, fans will boo Russians louder than they do other teams and that's not a big special excuse for Russians to be worried. Zenit played in Ankara a few days ago and nothing happened.

Quote from semisonic

Nobody really wants to play in Turkey.

"I am never trying to explain something I do not understand.
Sport is created to unite people and countries. I do not feel that I am
in danger. My job is to go out there on volleyball court and play the
game. It's not up to me to decide where the tournament should be held.
But, I always start from myself. Be kind to others and they will be kind
to you. I have no fear of going to Turkey. I think that the organizers
will not let anything happen to any team, so I am absolutely calm."

I love Starcevic's attitude to be honest

There's no stable(in a positive way) MB performance from Italy in last years but Folie is always the one gets least chances. I'm really sorry for her.

Sokolova was playing pretty good in 2011-2012 club season, she was much much better than her current shape.

Emin İmen is really good trainer. It's sad that he's in third league now while first league is full of garbage coaches

Quote from Canter

how did Yilmaz play? as OPP or non-receiving OH?

she played as recieving OH they have Karsta Lowe in Opposite position

Quote from Canter

i forgot Gözde Yılmaz's team...which one was it?

She's in Yamamay.

I watched Yamamay - Scandicci match today for Bahar and Gözde It was interesting to see Bahar as attacking middle And I realized that I missed her strong serves Her block was bad today though. Luckily Stufi blocked well today and the main difference between the teams were middles' performance today imo On Yamamay's side Gözde was the best player I believe but noone really stood out for me. Or maybe I was too much focused on Scandicci and I missed some good performances by Yamamay players

or can fail in reception in the set point for opponent

too much ego + too weak bench= Turkish NT. I hope The Netherlands wins tomorrow. Slöetjes is just adorable

all teams chose if they want points from European games or WGP before the events started. Ferhat Akbaş said Turkey chose European Games because it seemed shorter and easier for Turkey and it seems he was right.

Quote from USAvolleyfan

Hande Baladin did really good. Can she receive at all? If she can do it on a good level, she will be very appreciated in Turkish league

She played as OH in Sarıyer last season. Her reception is like Neriman's or Gözde Yılmaz's.

Quote from ossubtus

and only 3 actual azeris…

from what i have seen, matiasovska-aghayeva was pretty useless in spite of her height. she doesn't pass, can't defend, and kept hitting into the block.

whatever happened to natalya mammadova?

Jeyran Aliyeva, Oksana Kurt, Ayshan Abdulazimova, Aynur Karimova, Oksana Kiselyova and Valeria Mammadova are all born in Azerbaijan.

I expect the official one to be worse
