Quote from Anton1989

Well, the countries its about first of all, China, Cuba and Russia I suppose u mean, have all great traditions in sport overall not only volleyball, the countries is intrested in too build strong NT´s in all sports. Also two of them very big population. Russia also has very tall population to most other countries, while Cuba is superior to almost all other in terms of athletism. Factors that make their oppurtunities for volleyball very good. China has so much population that they pretty much will be a force in whatever they are intrested in. So, in my opinion the reasons is other than politicial. But one big advantage is that in these countries, pretty much ALL players that plays for NT, plays in the domestic league, and many of them the same team, it makes them very well together which is a great advantage.

Mmmmmm...It makes sense. Thank you very much

By the way, a question that I wanted to make a long time ago : why communists countries, not all but the main, have such a good tradition on volleyball?

I don't know if the reason is the same for all of them, but it seemed curious to me...

Quote from muse

Bari, wtf?

Does anybody know the point of keeping Bari on the court ?

Quote from marshmellow

This is my understanding, too.

I'd say for sure. According to volleyball.it : http://volleyball.it/notizie.asp?s=118&n=45235&l=0 . "ma a Gamova e compagne saranno sufficienti 2 set. " but to Gamova & co two sets will enough ( to qualify)

Are all 25 players mentioned on thread "Polish NT 2012" available?

Then ..which is Poland's probable line-up? Maybe this questions has no sense as both teams will field alternative or mixed squads..

Thank you very much

Thank you very much!

Any link for Rabita v Igtisadchi please?

Quote from lyp2004

I read somewhere that Villa's president said some very harsh words about Berg and blamed her for splitting the locker room which I cannot believe!

IMO, it's very unprofessional behavior to do that considering Villa is going to play the semis this week.

Where did you read it please?

Loca :

Si è parlato molto di spaccatura nello spogliatoio biancoblu, ma è assurdo che l’eventuale contrapposizione tra il gruppo delle americane (più Guiggi) e le altre, dovuta magari a semplici ragioni di età anagrafica, possa condizionare il modo di approcciare quella che per molte è l’occasione di una vita. Semmai può essere calzante il riferimento a “problemi al di fuori del campo”, accennato da Marcello Abbondanza prima di ammonire che “d’ora in poi giocherà chi riuscirà a dare di più alla squadra”. (http://www3.varesenews.it/sport/articolo.php?id=229815)

Do you know which is the real extent of all of this talking?

Thank you

I mean : I understand what the article says. My question is about its impact on villa's game. I didn't watch CL's F4 : had this could been seen on the court at Baku?

Final is played by golden set system, isn't it?

Quote from vyz

no Galatasaray has no chance to finish 3rd. There are no important injuries. Only Seray can't play but Nesic doesn't prefer playing with her so it's not a big problem for Galatasaray.

Thank you very much.

Quote from Loca inside

I'm waiting for it!

http://www.tvf.org.tr/index.php

Is there any chance for Galatasaray to get the third place? If there isn't : will Nesic rest some players for Cev's final?

Are there important injuries ?

Thank you

Quote from joanamss

It says Diouf and Di Iulio still out and Piccinini and Nucu still doubts...Nucu for felling pains in her knee and Piccinini still recovering from a cold that became a bronquitis.

yea, I know the meaning. I was asking about if these pain and cold can really sideline Nucu and Picci....if are true or just talking..

From volleybergamo.it : "...Ancora indisponibili Diouf e Di Iulio per i problemi alla spalla che le hanno messe out anche negli ultimi match, alla partenza per le Marche restano in dubbio le condizioni di Iuliana Nucu, dolorante a un ginocchio, e del capitano Francesca Piccinini, ancora convalescente da un attacco influenzale prima e da una bronchite poi. La Norda Foppapedretti dovrà lasciarsi alle spalle la stanchezza accumulata negli intensi ultimi mesi e dare inizio ad una nuova stagione, ad una nuova guerra al cui orizzonte si scorge lo scudetto tricolore..."

I guess Nucu and Piccinini gonna play for sure, aren't they?

Does anyone know if Dinamo Moscow gonna field it's A team tonight at Montichiari ?

Thank you very much

Quote from Loca inside

Piccinini is playing and Bergamo is loosing vs Busto

I wonder for how long will Busto mantain this shape..

Quote from Loca inside

She had flue, I don't know if she still have it but I don't think so, in my opinion she will play.

On the other hand, I don't think that Linsdey Berg will play vs Novara (and also against Busto on saturday)

thank you very much. Yes , Lin Berg is not gonna play : http://www3.varesenews.it/sport/articolo.php?id=227607

Does anyone know whether Piccinini will play against Yamamay ?

Thank you very much
