Is there a link to watch Eczacibasi Seramiksan?

Any links to Sesi v Funvic?

Anyone know if Muzaj is playing today?

Jastrzebski struggling a little without Muzaj? Anyone know if he is injured and if so, when is he returning? They'll need him for tomorrow.

Very disappointed that Dynamo Kazan won't be in the Champions League this year. They are a wonderful team, and one of my favourite. Far better than the other Russian participants- Uralohka and Dinamo Krasnodar, and in my opinion a top 8 team in the world. I think they are the favourites to win the CEV Cup! Startseva, Zaryzazhko and especially Vasileva are world class!

Does anyone know when the match between Dynamo Moscow and Dynamo Kazan is starting? I thought it was supposed to begin 30 minutes ago.

Semis: Sada v Bolivar and Trentino v Zenit. Looks like it'll be a repeat final- Sada v Zenit

Predictions for tonight, as the two best teams in the world square off? The odds are close, with Eczacibasi as a very slight favourite.

I am torn, VakifBank are a more cohesive unit and have the best player in world, Zhu Ting, but I feel Eczacibasi have slight advantages at the 2nd hitter (Larson> Hill) and 2nd blocker positions (Adams >Kubra). Rasic and Thaisa (along with Akinradewo) are the 3 best MB's in the world for me, so that is a scratch. Sloetjes/Boskovic, Naz/Maya are also both pretty close in quality. It really is a tough game to call, at this point in time I predict Vakifbank edge out tonight's affair, as it may take a few months for Eczacibasi to hit top form.

What does everyone think?

Panasonic is stacked, definitely the best team in Japan this year

Kuzbass has become my favourite team, Poletaev is incredible!

Any links to Gimcheon v IBK Altos match?

Any thought for the season opener tonight between Rush&Cash v Hyundai? Simon and Camejo are gone, Bojic and Van Lankvelt are the respective replacements. I would give a slight edge to Hyundai, does anyone know if Myung-Geun is playing? I didnt see him feature in the cup games for Rush&Cash

Lipe to Halkbank Ankara!

Quote from Meatballs

I stopped checking the rest when I saw Fenerbahce as number 5. This must be a joke

Let's hear your thoughts then wiseguy!

Fener lost Skorupa, Mihajlovic, Bosetti and Dietzen. Added Tomkom and Natalia. Are they weaker than last year? Sure. Are they significantly weaker than last season? No.

They finished 3rd in Champions League and 2nd in Turkish League last year. KYK and Natalia are World Class. Tomkom is reliable, Eda and Polen are capable players, and Dalbeler solid libero. Eczacibasi, VakifBank, Dynamo Moscow and Volero are better this season, but I don't think there is a 5th team that is.
