No one has commented yet that Rouzier announced his international retirement
I guess team Yavbou won't be the same anymore.
Men's part of the forum is converting to a cemetery
Generally the way Tillie was behaving with French team was wrong 7 players for all tournaments, but I think this time they dont disappear and can stay there for some years (part of best 4 or 8 teams)
what a waste of talent.. all these guys could achieve big things but now their careers are over
Cuba is already a waste of talent 
So many great players that could make Cuba champion in every tournament ...
I think FIVB didnt give hosting to US, Brazil and Canada because of time difference and traveling distance
"participating teams will have to feature eight players out of 14 from the last World League and six players out of 12 from the last Olympic Games. Teams will register 21 players six weeks before the beginning of the competition, bringing that list down to 18 players four weeks before the beginning of the competition and down to 14 players by May 31."
Can someone translate this for me? last world league contained 18 players not 14, and if I'm not mistaken they are saying teams must attend the whole world league with the same 14 players!! 
Fivb is setting a new record in stupidity.
I think the news should be Montenegro not Myanmar.
I think you're right
In the news it is said money award will be 300000 dollars, if it is not a typo it shows FIVB bankruptcy

Iran plays with defense ministry team in this tournament that will play in the coming league, too. 4 of junior NT members are there to spend their military service.
