any links for today's Gala match coming up soon...? thanks

Just curious from the Turkish posters whether a change in government in the next election would have any impact on the financial support for sultanlar league teams.

I remember when Natalie Malykh looked like she might be a young rising star. She even had a time with the national team. Since she came back from having a baby, how far has she elevated her game. Would she be considered for the national team again.

thanks

Could you name some of the up and coming young Russian players we should watch that are playing in Russia. it seems like the best ones are playing in foreign leagues.

Also I would like to see what the Russian NT might look like if they get an independent waiver for the Paris Olympics.

How do you think Dinamo Moscow would have faired in this years CL playoffs.

Thanks

Just wondering if Julia Orzal, Wisconsin, is progressing enough to make the Polish NT team in time for the Olympics and if see is seen as an OH or maybe a libero?

If Russia goes into long-term suspension is there any precedent that would allow for the waiver of origination rights to allow players to transfer to other national teams.

Will an MVP here in the VNL tempt Julia b to make the adjustments to play in the WC's. We know that she and Gabi will be a deadly duel in Paris.

It's hard to watch this and not have bad thoughts about Karch and the way he wasted his talent in the quarterfinals.

I've watched Taylor Agost since college and I think her best position is OH. It seems that the Greek league is the only one that will give her a chance to play that position and start. This last match she seemed to be doing a whole lot better on reception and I was wondering if that's actually a pattern because obviously that's been her biggest weakness. The game before this I noticed she didn't start and Rosemarie started. Just wondered if that was a one-off thing or was because the last game she didn't play well. How is her current level of play in the Greek League compared to 2 years ago when she did well also.

Any links

Any links to the olympiakos match?

Will a possible invasion of the Ukraine ruin another CL season? What will be the response of the CEV volleyball gods? Here in the US there is great pessimism that it can be avoided. The chance of a several year ostracization of the Russian teams certainly seem a possibility. What will be the impact on Russian players playing abroad? Can they be called home against their will? Will it temporarily break the national approval system for players. Will it effect Ukrainian born players on Russian teams? A lot of uncertainty on the course of history much bigger than our desire to see really great volleyball. May peace prevail.

Any replays of the Olympicakos match. I wanted to see how Agoust is progressing since her ankle injury from last year

Where does lazareva rank among the Russian OPs

And the doubt returns. Who can forget some of Conegliano's greatest comebacks. CL vs ECZ, CWC vs Vakif semi's.

Arina looks taller than 190 alongside the others

There's going to be a lot of un happiness with this last pick

Vakif returns to glory. How unfortunate that one of our favorite players languishes at ECZ, especially now with Fenerbahce in ascendancy. Will an Italian team win a championship again in the next 5 years. I guess it depends on how the lira does going forward.

Can Fenerbahce improve enough to break through and displace one of these two teams by the time the CL championship rolls around
