    Great news

    wow now we have proof that money can't buy tradition nor being a powerhouse

    Congratulations brazil


    His name is Cengiz Göllü, look him up.

    Let's not act like Turkish volleyball started with Vargas or Santarelli... Sure the addition made Turkey a stronger team after Neslihan retired, to try to fill her shoes but it has a tradition that led to 2003. Sure, not a history that is as shiny as Brazil's or whatnot but a history and tradition nonetheless. A history that had a lot of troubles and struggle. Am I upset that TVF was not organized enough to raise its own competitive OPP, yes! But I'm also happy for Vargas and Turkey for making a synergy at such short notice. Am I happy Turkey stole Santa from Serbia, not too much. But it was his own decision to come to Turkey. For money? Probably yes, but his own decision. Am I happy Gui is gone? Hell yes! He did so much but his time was up for numerous reasons. I should also add M. Akif Üstündağ (TVF president) and his doings: he irritates me a lot for a lot of reasons but I believe he mostly means well and a little gullible even. I'm writing those because after these two additions (Vargas and Santa) to the team I feel like there is even more toxicity on the forum than before which led me to not come here for so long. Anyways greetings to everyone who are still in the forum o/ I hope everyone is well.
    Congrats to Brazil, they were the better team on the court yesterday. I'm happy for them especially Thaisa but extremely sorry for our girls as well. Brazil always seems as fiercely carrying the olympic spirit for me whereas our girls but also Santa seemed quite nervous to me.

    Ban vowels. They're always meddling with the consonants and insisting they be included in words. Why can't the consonants have a word of their own?


    #CancelA

    approved and supported my friend! if we ban all vowels, i can forgive B for all its sins.

    #C.nc.lV.w.ls :thumbup:

    sorry... Random Country A and Random Country B :lol:

    do you really think A and B are angels? they are the most sinister of letters... (i can keep doing that :gone:)

    sorry i needed a bit of a laugh :lol:


    but in all of its seriousness i do think international law should be binding for ALL if we actually want this system of endless exploitation and suffering to truely end.

    moving this because its OT for the champions league thread.


    well, they've never had to make the call, because the USA hasn't broken the Olympic Truce, which the federations have agreed to. That is the issue. There's not some big campaign against Russia, or non-western countries. (by the way, Russia is the only country to break the truce.... which they've done three times)


    There are many countries across this world doing sh***y things, not just the USA, not just Russia. If there was a blanket ban on all of them, we'd be left with Fiji playing Tonga in the WCH final.

    Fiji and Tonga are not completely innocent tho just saying :rolll::dance6::rolll:

    Sorry for oversharing, but these are few words from the Eastern European perspective.

    Dont apologize please, this is exactly the reason why i wanted to enter the discussion :)
    And I agree on ALL the things u say, even the ones starting with "do you know" or "can you answer". But are we not going to critisize the failure of American foreign policy after the collapse of Soviet Union? How they invented new enemies instead of trying to peacefully integrate people to their system. And turkey could've been their biggest tool for that, instead they created a monster. They played all the wrong pieces in this region that it blows my mind... Just to give a little hint on that, it was within the founding myth of Turkish Republic to integrate with Western world and right now (literally, since yesterday) the only thing in this vast universe Erdoğan can use to unite this extremely polarized society has become anti-west propoganda... Leftists are always against NATO (not EU, but NATO), the far-right has all the reasons to oppose West, but what paralyzes me is that the seculars and liberals are on that train too now. :) He is such a smart political animal that nobody dares to talk about or even dare to think about the very likely possibilty that if he loses the next elections he might say "yea, fuck that, if i go down everyone goes down" and starts a civil war, he already gave the signals of that to be frank. And if that happens I hope EU is prepared for another refugee crisis bc this time turkey will not be there to stop the flow since all of us will be running for our lives, and the big threat of China will yet again be the secondary focus.
