Is the talk of getting Sokolova back on NT finally dead and burried once and for all? God, I really hope so.
THe talk will definitely continue, especially after this failure, but I think Marichev will not call her. She can't help no more.

I feel it was the best chance for Russian NT to qualify for the Olympics, too bad they've lost that 2-0 lead against Serbia. And Marichev's decisions on MB's are just
Anyway the change of generations is probably complete, the team spirit is obviously there, Yana Scherban had some really good games, there are positive moments to take away from this tournament. -
now its serbia's turn..can Serbia do a favor for their slavic sisters russia by losing too Argentina
But if Serbia will lose to Argentina they will help sisters from USA, not Russia))) -
lol
If China showed nothing and won match, what did show Russia?
Tiredness. Chinese would definitely show that too, if they had play USA not Dominicana yestreday. China deserved the win today, they played better, but nothing to scream about, too dependable on Zhu Ting, boring to watch. -
Japan??
You think? I remember them at their best of last year's WGP finals and this performance is such a step down. They make countless errors, I'm disappointed with Japanese team. -
Chienese are way too histerical. They show nothing actually, just being so fortunate to face opponents after USA game. Somebody written here that Russia is so boring blah-blah-blah, I didn't really see any entertainig teams at this WCup

All those in favour of continents equality - do you enjoy watching this World Cup? is ot okey with you that most of the games are 3-0 with 25-10 in every set? So you are not fed up with that you want to see it during OG either? Olympic volleyball tornament should show the world the best that the game has. And if we fill it with Algeria, Argentina, Peru etc.. we'll just have a lot of boring games, nothing else

Went to Beijing to watch the event, enjoyed it as always I enjoy athletics in the stadium. If you have an opportunity to go to watch the big athletics event - do it, very entertaining.

Really strange serving tactics from Russia. The whole world knows that Mihajlovic can't receive but the serve goes to the libero 90% on the time. Probably Marichev isn't aware of opponents weaknesses, as always.

Free players :
Ekaterina Krivets (MB)
Krivets is preparing for new season with Dinamo Krasnodar now. -
Im still not 100% convinced about an U-23 Wch......most best players in this age are already in main NT, so they dont play the tournament, so dont know..it kind of puts a shadow over the tournament..not really that interesting to watch.
My thoughts exactly) I'm way more excited about U18 championships where all the best of this age are playing -
So the 1/8 final lineup is
Germany - Mexico
USA - Brazil
China - Egypt
Russia - Japan
Italy - Argentina
South Korea - Serbia
Turkey - Belgium
Peru - Poland -
what about your discovers in this tournament?
Mariam Morsy for me. Dying to see Russian team especially as they've won against USA team, but no tv coverage((( -
35-33 in the 3rd set, Italy is beating Japan 3-0, Turkey will play Belgium.
If Brazil will win 3-0 against Cuba now they would play USA in the 1/8 if not - Russia. I wonder what will they choose.
Egypt has beaten Mexico 3-2 and secured the place in the 1/8 will probably face China -
btw...turkey will face the second team of poo C or we will see another pool consisting of pool C and D ?
There will be 1/8 playoff games. And I don't think Turkey will face USA. If Japan today will loose 0-3 or 1-3 to Italy (and Italy has been crushing everyone in their pool), Turkey will get 2 place and will face Belgium in the 1/8. -
I just love Peruvian volleyball and Frecuencia Latina's streams even though it's bad quality for me) Vs Mexico in the 5th set from 10-5 to 10-11 to 15-11 - such emotions in the sporthall) Please guys, if there are more streams upload the links.

I wonder where Taras Kthey, Andrey Ashchev and Alexey Verbov disappeared
meanwhile Ilya Kurkaev and Alexander Yanutov joined...
They all recently had surgeries. Aschev - achilles, Verbov - knee, Khtey - appendicitis -
Irisova is certainly not good enough, she's been playing MB for many years now and looking at her I don't believe in her physical ability to be OPP of a good team. Natasha Malykh is still without a team, maybe Uralochka can afford to sign her?

Yumilka Ruiz officially has ended volleyball career.
Ogienko said Uralochka NTMK will have one foreigner Player in new season- Sinead Jack.
Source: Oblastnaya Gazeta
Considering the fact that Uralochka has fired Malofeeva, I really wonder who will play as OPP in Uralochka. -
Japan is over ten times weaker when they are not playing home. Congrats to Russia, will they get silver?
Yes, Russia silver, Brazil bronze
