that's probably off-topic, but remember when the Azeri league out of nowhere introduced the foreigners limit and 10 cubans suddenly appeared with Azeri surnames on their jerseys? haha

I think I already wrote the same thing last year, but McHenry is Korneluk reincarnated
-
Natalia Mędrzyk renewed her contract with Chemik
Had Agnieszka not retired, I would be cheering for Medrzyk to make it to LA. But with those middles and setter I don't see us getting the spot...
-
Why aren't u guys investing more in Elena Bajic? Did she have a shitty season, is she injured? Where did she even play last season?
I loved her 2 seasons ago in Poland, very Maja-coded style which I personally love
-
In Italy she is like a sex symbol.
Piccinini enters the chat
Not to offtop, so sorry for Chirichella! I struggled with a torn ACL myself, unfortunately it needs time...
I will say for Cansu that she is a very good, creative setter for me. One of the most underrated players next to Sylla (in my head only! Feel free to disagree).
Edit: will Maja play for Scandicci?
-
Just tuned in, Why is Szczyglowska not playing?
-
The backup setter Mulka is a nice surprise for me! I think they could "get away" with this setter duo and invest their money elsewhere.
I hope Zaroslinska stays (as in: doesn't retire) and gets to play CL again, years after her Police/Sopot times
-
She wouldn't get any chances at all. Look at Miner rotting on the bench of Milano. We will only see Wenerska or Grabka starting the matches.
Absolutely, i'm still mad about Szczurowska not playing VNL last year when we:
1) were guaranteed the VNL finals as the host
2) knew ahead that the whole WC would eventually come down to the game against Italy who were clearly out of reach anyway.
Julia is just an example, but there were more players deserving of getting a shot during VNL. If im not mistaken there were zero to none roster amendments
-
I actually just meant the bronze medal part, no other reservations from my side :p
-
About the lack of excitement in the Italian league, certainly it doesn't help that they dont do the bronze medal thing neither
-
To change this negative atmosphere I wanna say that we have an amazing selection of liberos and I hope Lavarini will try somebody new because Szczygłowska deserves some rest
Ahh I appreciate that you tried to improve the atmosphere, too bad the list dropped right after
The libero, opposite and OH position choices were good (if Rozanski declined; Gorecka I GUESS must have given some stupid excuse in the past and she's now out forever just because).
MB - not comment, I was low key hoping to see Kowalewska-Wasilewska duo resurected but whatever.
For the setter position, call me crazy but i would be curious to see how Lazowska would do with Lavarini.

Why forcing injured Fornal when you have perfectly capable Szalpuk and Semeniuk on the bench...

Popiwczak's haircut is criminal

I want to be wrong about this, but I don't think Korneluk will be as great in Fener as she is in NT or Polish clubs. My read on her is that she is used to being a leader and the go-to player. When she's being fed a lot of balls, she is ON. She becomes the blocking machine and unleashes her iconic, deadly standing float. With so many personalities and top players in Fener, I can imagine her "disappearing and loosing confidence" a little bit in this all stars roster.
That's just my theory, I don't wish that on her by no means and I will be happy to be proven wrong
Cheering big time for Szczurowska, she definitely has it in her to challenge Stysiak and Smarzek for that NT spot
-
McHenry reminds me of Korneluk with his spike approach
-
this is fun, I'm totally fine with witnessing this tournament every two years

Well Poland rly isn’t ever a trophy contender, they play to win and get as far as they can.
The one thing that stands between Poland and fighting for championship is a player whi can be gamechanger. Ofc, Szczyglowska, Korneluk, Lukasik are top level players, Stysiak is amazing when she feels the game, Wenerska is good setter, but the team lacks that one player who can be go to player of the team you know what I mean.
Japan had Koga and now Wada/Ishikawa, China had Zhu and then LYY, Serbia has Boskovic, Italy has Egonu, Turkey has Vargas, Brazil has Gabi. Poland doesn’t have a player like that and that is their biggest (perhaps only) weakness. Czyrnianska looked like she can be that girl but she is not so good last 2 years.
Poland in fact does have a player like that: Korneluk. She absolutely is of that caliber imo. The obvious problem is that given her position, she's only on court 50% of time
-
Egonu chose violence, Lavarini chose Stefanik
-
there is something so esthetically satisfying about the way Van Aalen moves on the court and touches the ball, I can't explain it
Congrats JPN !!

I love this French team
