  • World League 2011

    First about the match between Bul-Ita. I'm glad they showed such performance but i was expecting it because we usually play like this vs Italy and they are a lot weaker than Argentina. You've mentioned how many blocks we had made but how many italian attacks were against triple block and how many argentinian attacks were against triple block the day before yesterday? Correct me if I'm wrong but we made only 1 block against Argentina and almost all of their attaks were against single block or no blocks at all (don't know how you call it in english, i think scattered block). I think that Russia got very lucky avoidin Arg in the semis and they might feel more comfortable with Brazil in the final and not Argentina. Since Argentina plays the very same style of volleyball that France plays (in the semis of ECH 2009, beating Russia then), the same style that is the most difficult for Russia(and,therefore, Bulgaria) to play against.


    About the refs and the Polish team - well, before the tournament when a friend asked me what was the competition formula and I answered him that all the other teams will play against each other to determine who will play with Poland in the final. :lol: I wasn't far from the truth, though. And, of course this is normal and it is one reason why FIVB isn't allowing Hawk eye for now. But no one should blame the Polish fans or the Polish team for that, they have nothing to do with it. Their only fault is that they are playing badly :)

    If we compare with USA Brazil or Russia even with France (64 million) or Gremany (nearly 82 millions) it is only 38 million. Of course number of people is not everything volleyball tradition is always important but if in USA 27 million of people play in volleyball for relax it is hard to have better players than they have.

    Of course it's not. Otherwise we would have to watch China winning every tournament.
    Lithuania is in the top 3 of the history of basketball and they have 3 million people. ;)

    Now i'm curious to know what really means. :huh:

    Try google translator. There kurwa means whore. In bulgarian it also means whore or bitch(don't know if there is a difference between those two terms :huh: ) But the thing with swares is that their meaning becomes so large, that they are used for absolutely everything :lol:
    But, don't you think this is offtopic. :) You can easily comment on this in a separate topic.

    Haha, niiiiiice. :lol: :thumbsup: You know what? When you come to the finals next year in SF i want you to scream in some situation *KURWAAAAAA*. :D The audience's gonna love it. :lol:


    Anyway, let's stick to the topic. Once again, congrats for the win! :)

    I think it's our turn to say "kurwa" for the rest of the night...

  • Bulgarian NT for 2011 season

    I don't know if this is offtopic, but will the NT's dictor or DJ, or whatever you call him, the guy Teddy Giorgio - will he be in the matches now when they are in Sofia ?
    Nothing personal with him, but i get really irritated when he shouts something on the mic. You know, it's one thing when an entire croud shouting "Matey Kaziyski", it's another thing when just one man with a mic staving in Matey's ears when he's serving at, for example, 17-23. If I was Matey, or Vlado, or whoever, I would target not the opponent's field, but Teddy Giorgio's head. Don't get me wrong, it's not that he's that annoying but I've noticed that almost everytime the DJ starts yelling the server's name, he spikes the ball out or in the net. And nevermind that "Боят настана"(although I like it very much) is, according to him, the only song in Bulgaria. I think someone must tell him when to shout, and to pick some more theme songs. And not to sound as a hater, I will praise him for igniting the croud to whistle against the refs when they do stupid mistakes.
