What about Piano and Vettori?
I always wondered if they're more than best friend! Also because since I know them I think they've never publicly presented a girlfriend...
But I would be a bit disappointed by them if they have chosen not to go public... Is that harsh from me?
And of course I would be disappointed if Vettori's gay
About Paola and Kasia, I'm very happy for them!
I've never commented before about Paola being lesbian because I wanted to keep the 'vibe' she gave me, of something absolutely normal that doesn't need great statement, as it wouldn't if she said "I called my boyfriend after the final; oh, yes I have a boyfriend"
On the other hand, if she would have said, for example, "I'm with Bruno", I would have loved to (innocently) gossip about it
And the same works with Kasia: wow, that was a new for me! Former team mate from just last year (so now I'm totally curious to know when it started and if it has something to do with Skorupa leaving Novara), plus there's quite an age gap... well, I can't deny I found it juicy somehow
Anyway, I totally agree with who said she's being brave to open up about it. And Gazzetta may had the fault to publicize the kiss a lot and forget the Supercup, but to me it's clear that Paola knew that with a public kiss the new was going to spread fast, and I loved that she just did very spountaunusly instead of making some announcement or similar things!
I read Casalmaggiore may be interested in Skorupa, anyway.
I still wondered why they didn't keep Leo, though...

When Modena's players are complaining to referee, Leon raised his hands to show the referee there was actually a block touch on him.
It usually given if a team asks for a block-touch video check, and (after the video check has been asked) the player who touched the ball raise is hand and admit the touch without actually waiting for the video check. I don't know if they can/will use it even if the video check isn't called, do you think that happened yesterday?
Thanks Rains for the update on Trento, I haven't subisce with Sportube for now so I haven't watched the match.
How many years it was since Perugia won vs Modena? It was about time!
It's impressive they've already played against the other 3 top teams and grab 3 points against each, it's to early to say they secured the first spot, but that's something.

Congrats Imoco!! Very deserved victory!
I love that Sylla put down the last ball
But congrats also to Paola for being cold in the most crucial moment, she almost made me believe Novara could reopened the set!

Easy-Hodge, USA, last year out for Achille's tendon rupture
I think I'm cheering slightly for Conegliano, I love their game. But I mostly cheer for a 3-2, so I'll probably switch side a bit
Glad to see Robin back in an important match
-
Today the NT went to visit the Italian Republic President, Mattarella, and the girls and the staff members were all very glad and impressed by how well he knew them (like he remembered every name) and the WCh events, because that showed them he really followed the WCh, with genuine passion and interest.
-
I had watched just fragments of Trento-Perugia, but beside that terrible last set I can't complain about my team, to be honest.
Nice victory (first one) for Padova.
-
Folie had the libero jersey, she'll need one-two months to be back.
Robin is on her way to recover.
The only think I don't like about Conegliano is that someone among Sylla, Tirozzi, Danesi and Folie will (almost) always stay on the bench...
-
Oh fly, Pincerato sets were just off, especially for the second line. Really ugly to watch, actually. And the confront with Wolosz (amazing for me) wasn't merciful...
Conegliano OH squad is quite impressive.
I'm very happy Cate Bosetti si back!

I was in Turin for the men's world championship finals, and while shopping at the new outlet, I was treated in the most shameful racist ways;
I'm very sorry to hear that
Do you mean by random people or by people actually working there? It would be even worst...
-
Maxwell, in Italy there's always be a bit of racism (for the foreign in general, not just for black people), imho (of course not by everybody!), but I'm afraid that lately – with the new path of our politics – things are getting even worst...
So, we are in the situation that the public opinion is ready to make a fuss for a bottle in front of a black player, but at the same time there are people (I hope not that much, but there are) able to push a black person out of a bus, to beat someone because of his skin color and so on...

The parents had let known that she wanted the players at her funeral to wear their club jumper, and to give money to charity instead of spending it on flowers.
Also AIDO (Organ Donor Italian Association) will be there, but just with informative (little) stands, not collecting money.

And she also needed another transplant, I learned few minutes ago

Not sure it's the right place to wrote it, but today Sara Anzanello - gold messa at 2002 WCh - passed away at 38
She had a liver transplant in 2013, I guess things went wrong for her...One of her last social post were to congratulate the Girls for the silver...
Oh, I'm terribly sad. Rest in peace, Sara.
From the Italian NT thread...

I think it was just a poor graphic work, to be honest.

Nice to know, but I had no doubt about Serena knowing perfectly her role as 'expert non-protagonist', and I was also sure Mazzanti never hide it to her. She's definitely not the person I would expect to be annoyed not to play if that's what the NT needs from her, especially if that means Egonu is playing!
-
ossubtus, Cate was actually in the group this summer, but of course she wasn't in shape, and she was titular the summer before alongside with Lucia, so I don't think there are big doubts about her, unless someone else step ups (like Mingardi, or – I doubt – Guerra...). And she's Lucia more obvious sostitute, with Gennari out of the 'summer games' and Degradi probably not as good as her.
It's true he didn't made many changes (I'll add to your list that vs Cuba we played with Egonu OH and Ortolani opp, and Cambi played most of the match vs Russia), but I think it was a precise choice to bet everything on the titulars, partially because they often did good, partially because of course there is a difference between expert players like Chirichella or Danesi and Lubian or Fahr, and for them the WCh was meant to be more like an experience. May be in the future that – the clear difference between bench and court – will change (and remember that we didn't missed only Folie, but actually also Melandri, who should have been there instead of Fahr). He still will want to have a hierarchy, but may be he'll be more willing to subs who's underperforming

Sorry, I didn't explain myself well: obviously I agree with you, and that was actually the point of my post*: what matters the most about the juniores is that they provide reliable players for the NT, and if we'll manage to keep this rythm of 2-3 players every couple of years we'll have a wonderful future ahed.
Still, being italian, I wouldn't mind if we'll keep winning as well
*actually I put it in a different prospective: I was pointing out that winning junior tournaments doesn't necessary mean having tons of new NT-level-talents, but of course it also works on the other way: NOT winning doesn't mean not having few good prospective
