Please inform yourselves from good sites... right now the head coach is Cristiano lucchi who will be coaching the quals for european champs 2017. He said that he will reintegrate guerra, bosetti (caterina), tirozzi and folie. He will also add Nicoletti (opp) and Parrocchiale (L). Captains will be de gennaro and tirozzi. He also said thet he talked with diouf and she will not be in NT for a while (her decision).

Hi guys! I'm not really able to follow the games since I'm not home... If someone has any replay links to share, that would be really appreciated! thanks in advance 
There is a link to follow the awards? fivb stopped streaming.... they will be back live?
Display MoreHi all! New here- but I occasionally read these threads and appreciate everyone's commentary.
I'm wondering: how do we know Fawcett is out for Rio? Is it just because Kiraly isn't bringing her to the final in Thailand, or is there a statement I've missed?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he's decided Fawcett is IN for Rio, and is bringing Murphy and Lowe to decide whom the other OPP should be, between them. Fawcett has been so important to the team, and is clearly the best option for the double substitution.
Just a thought, thanks!
I've read a few articles about this, so this isn't just an assumption. Right now I can't find the statement but if you search you'll find it!
NB also volleywood posted it so maybe you can try there!
I'm also quite disappointed with karch's decision as I too think fawcett was just better in double sub and I also see lowe a bit unstable
This is the final lineup for Rio?
No, nobody announced it (sitemap is quite unreliable on this forum). However the final roster will look something like this but you should remember we also have Gennari and Sirressi, so the final roster is still not fully set, although i think we already have some locks! 
The match has started! right now it's 18-14 for Brazil
here's another link, not fivb, maybe it works! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNWycLKpmTo
Brakocevic's attack hit the antenna but nobody seem to saw it...However congrats to Japan!
I'm sorry we didn't manage to pull Brazil to the fifth, it would have been a great result. Italy showed some good things, but still too many mistakes and lack of experience. I don't understand why Bonitta didn't even try Gennari: Guerra was playing bad both in reception and attack, why do you put Ortolani in, instead of Gennari?
If we reduce the errors and show the same courage we can do more against next opponents.
Brazil didn't look so in shape, especially in reception but it is understandable. They can all do more, but for tonight it was enough for them
Gennari felt some pain in her right knee, nothing serious but Bonitta wisely decided to rest her and not to risk 
Ned up 2-0 against Srb.... Plak basically doing the job for Ned (though also bujis and pietersen are doing good) with a solid game in attack, serve and also in the backrow. Molnar is as useful as I could be and all four middles are so silent. Btw, i don't like derisilo's attitude...
Edit: challenge system is so stupid... ned challenged a touch on the block on pietersen's attack, the replay showed savic touching the net but not the ball, and the point was given to srb because ned challenged block touch and not net fault 
According to volleyball.it Novara is interesed in Paggi (MB) from bergamo and Pietersen (OH/OPP) from scandicci
However Pietersen wil probablyl stay on the bench again this season 
I think she should get more playing time
For now it's a rumor but looks like will be official soon: Shangai transferred Sarah Pavan (Opp) and Helena Havelkova (OH)

Leonardi (L), Marcon (OH) and Belien (MB) will stay in piacenza for another season
Lo Bianco? Arrighetti? They both played well
From what i understood, Leo refused to play for NT (i remember Lucchetta and Colantoni saying somehing like that durins the semis). For Arrighetti it's different since she didn't receive the call because of the quite poor playing (for her level) during the regular season. For sure she stepped up her game during the finals and to me she deserves at least a chance. Also, probably the starting MBs will be Guiggi and Chirichell, both sliders with very poor defensive skills (although this isn't mb priority) while Arrighetti can attack well both in slides an in front of setter and and has quite good defensive and covering skills. This is just my opinion about our MBs, I just don't think the ones in the list are the best combination we could have
Raphaela Folie (MB) from Modena to Conegliano

Brakocevic is on the bench of Conegliano
?
I saw her too! Looks like she has been training with them recently
Busto confirms that Hagglund, Poma and Lowe will leave. Lowe is a possible target of Fener (from the article looks like Lloyd too). Busto is now interested in three players from club italia: Berti (MB), Spirito (L) and Malinov (S). They also wanted Kreklow but looks like she is really close to Conegliano.

Fener with the 3-1 victory an the bronze! Nice match by Eda
