Ravenna 90-91 looks unreal
Not as much as Parma, Treviso and Modena IMHO, because in Ravenna there are Margutti and Masciarelli (good players, but not top ones)

I was just thinking about it yesterday, while I was wondering if Kazan could be considered the strongest team ever. Because of I follow this sport since the 90s, I will propose only teams from that period onwards.
Ravenna 1990-91: Vullo - Timmons - Gardini - Masciarelli - Margutti - Kiraly
Parma 1991-92: Blangè - Carlao - Dal Zotto - Bracci - Giani - Gravina
Modena 1996-97: Vullo - Cuminetti - Giani - Van de Goor - Bracci - Cantagalli
Treviso 1997-98: Blangè - Fomin - Gravina - Gardini - Bernardi - Zwerver
Trento 2009-10: Raphael - Vissotto - Riad - Birarelli - Kazyski - Juantorena - Bari
Kazan today: Butko - Mikhaylov - Gutsalyuk - Volvich - Anderson - Leon - Verbov
Just add other teams if you want, and then I ask you Which would you choose among these?
Why evertime do we have to discuss about the best line-up and the best MVP? Didn't you understand that the awards in this kind of tournaments are distributed through geopolitical criteria (=someone of every teams in order to make everyone happy)?
Why is Micah always giving the ball to Sokolov when he's attacking in 4.. he only scored a point once
because he was forced. Did you see the reception?
Lube lost this set because of Christenson's big mistake at 24-23
What makes Italian league the best one is the fact that even the weakest teams like Milano can hire players like Todor Skrimov or Gordon Perrin. Anyway, I consider the top Brazilian teams and the Italian ones more or less at the same level, IMHO
Sada has never been the best team in the world. They just benefited from the advantage of the time zone (that this year has damaged them) and generous refs in Brazil. Right now, Zenit is the best team in the world by far (they can loose this evening, but they are still the best). By considering the league, I think that the best one is the Italian as usual
I have to thank Bernardi for this set. Rains, He made irregular substitutions
I've just watched the game...Lisinac
Tomorrow Perugia - Modena
I watched the video but I can`t really understand what they are saying, I think I hear Leal saying " you need to respect me" but again I`m not sure if that what`s saying, but in the end I can understand exactly what he`s saying and Leal says " You are doing nothing"
I think Sergio said something to Leal about the way he was playing, and Leal got mad and told him to shut up once he ( Sergio) is playing just as bad as him.
Thank you
Anyone who speaks portuguese that can explain to us why Leal was so angry during the last time out and had a fight with the libero?
It is really stupid of legavolley to lock the most important and anticipated matches off Rai Sports.
I also do not understand they are doing their absolute best to make people not catch up to the games by having just one time slot. Even with the subscription... watching this league can be a chore.
Every team at the end of the season will have the same number of matches on Raisport. I don't know what to say, I would like a meritocratic standard in order to distribute the market pools, but Italy is the country of corporatism
I'm watching Latina - Verona... As usual, when he plays for Latina (and only for Latina) Sasa Starovic is a top player
Quite good match by Zaystev, as usual is more usefull from the back row than as a spiker, when he plays as OH
Smells of smth here - sniff-sniff.
Muserskiy is as Ukrainian as Freddie Mercury was Tanzanian. Grozer had his father playing for German NT. Juantorena clearly had nothing to do with Italy by birth/upbringing.
More smell re Zaytsev and Antonov. These two were firstly and mostly brought up by their parents; they may be less talented than their fathers but the skill sets were there. Lastly, the fact that they both ended up in volleyball is not just a coincidence, do agree.
By following your logic, Grebennikov is not french
Regarding Juantorena. Italy did the same thing Germany did with Grozer (Hungarian) or Russia with Musersky (Ukranian)
You know he isn't so wrong, do you?
why? Juantorena and then? Who else? I see only players that either were born here (Zaystev, Antonov etc.) or live in our country since they are kids (Travica, Kovar etc.)
@ vabo
You know what is really pathetic? Even after adding Cubans, Russians and order foreign players to your national team, not succeeding in becoming Olympic champion...

Who are the russians? If you are talking about Antonov and Zaystev, I inform you that they were both born in Italy. They grew up here, they learnt to play volleyball here: we trained them, more or less just like we trained your dutch players during the 90s We brought them here, we taught them high level volleyball in order to make you a great national team, maybe we were TOO good in that kind of teaching
