I hope to see Jenna Gray in the roster next year
As long as Sullivan is around, I think it's pretty unlikely...

I see all of this upcoming weekend's matches listed on LVF's Youtube
YES!
So, anyone in Italy with a VPN will still be able to watch the entire women's championship, completely bypassing the DAZN subscription...
They are absolute idiots...

San Giovanni is signing Amandha Sylves to replace Veronica Costantini, as it remains unclear if or when the latter will be cleared to play...
It is unclear—given that the French middle blocker had already signed with LOVB Minnesota and been officially announced—whether this is a short-term signing (like those of Stigrot, Stuut, and Negretti) or if she has been released from the US league...

Ali Frantti could be the replacement for the injured Loveth Omoruyi in Vallefoglia...

FIPAV's assigned mental coach for the women's team is Paolo Amendola. He works with all the girls not just Antropova. He was only physically present with the team during European but not VNL. They also have 2 sport psychologists but only one is resident.
Amendola isn't Antropova's "personal" mental coach, but rather the national team's...
She does have a personal one: their name isn't known (at least as far as I'm aware), but it is a woman, given that she has used feminine pronouns whenever she has spoken about her in interviews...

It's not available here in the UK either
But going with Spike Media's announcement 2 months ago it seems official that LVF will no longer be available on VBTV
It was a given for Italy, but the expectation was that VBTV would retain the rights for international markets—just as happens in Poland, Japan, and Brazil with their respective leagues...
So, the question now remains: who will broadcast LVF matches abroad? DAZN?
-
As things stand, the Italian women's league (LVF) is not included in the lineup VBTV is offering for the upcoming season...
At least, that is how it appears from Italy; I don't know if the offering is different in other countries...

When I asked VBTV customer support, "Will the upcoming season of the Italian LVF championship be available worldwide, or will there be geographic restrictions?", they replied as follows:
-------
Thank you for your interest in the upcoming season of the Italian LVF Championship.
At the moment, we do not yet have updates regarding the worldwide availability of the upcoming season or any applicable geographic restrictions. Content availability and geographic restrictions may vary based on broadcasting rights and the country from which you access VBTV.

This means that certain programs, matches, or episodes may be restricted or unavailable depending on the country or territory from which you access the service.

Users in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam will not be able to access live matches via the VBTV app or website. To watch live matches, they must use Monomax, the designated streaming platform for these countries.

We would also like to inform you that the content available on VBTV is accessible to users worldwide and offers a wide variety of programs to an international audience.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us; we would be happy to assist you.

As things stand, it is currently unknown if or how the women's league will be viewable outside Italy.
The situation is far from clear: the only certainty is that the contract between VBTV and the Women's League has expired. Starting with the upcoming season, operations will be managed directly by the League's new entity, which has sold the broadcasting rights to DAZN (encrypted) and RAI (free-to-air).
There will be seven matches per round:
One will be broadcast free-to-air by RAI (public TV, geo-blocked)...
Three will be streamed for free on the League's YouTube channels and other cross-media platforms (it is unknown if they will be geo-blocked)...
All matches will be available via paid streaming (subscription or pay-per-view) on DAZN (it is unknown if this is limited to Italy or includes international licensing)...
With just over three weeks to go before the season starts, it is a truly absurd situation...

Ci Michel made a video and said this turkey team was the second best team of all time
I wonder who is the first...
-
Speaking with a cool head, I still stand by my opinion...
Velasco lost the entire match, clearly outplayed by Santarelli, and that's something I don't think there's much to argue about...
He botched everything in the second set, allowing Turkey to get back into the match, and he botched everything in the final two sets, keeping Antropova on the court. To call her unwatchable is an understatement: as bad as Nervini may have been during the summer, not trying to replace a player who only ruined the team is incomprehensible...
This summer went like this: the great old man didn't do anything right, and, certainly not helped by luck, the results were terrible from every perspective...
A year wasted for the transition and a year wasted in results, where everything was done poorly, from group selection to preparation for events: at this point, we can only hope we haven't entered a "Mazzanti-esque" spiral where, just to prove ourselves right, we're willing to lose everything, and from the next Let's hope this year we can draw a line under it and start again from the good things we have, which are a lot...

Lavarini is pissing me off already. Piasecka has been bad the entire tournament she was good enough for NL in the beginning because they also played bad but when their level rose she couldn't keep up. Why is she starting set 3????
Given the performances of Piasecka and Lampkowska, the reason why Lavarini left the other OH players on the bench is a mystery...

Nah, it has nothing to do with the libero position, on the other hand it's the easiest to fill nowdays, 'cause 90% of the liberos starting in their Serie A1 teams are up to international level.
It's always the setter position causing troubles any single time. All the spikers need to play 100% at the same time because you never know if Orro is on a decent day or on her standard messy day, forcing the spikers to play 110%. Cambi isn't any better nowdays and the Marchiaro's magic on her is long gone. Eze is a mistery and no one know why she can't get any proper chance.
20/25 years ago the local setters fighting to avoid the relegation from Serie A1 were much better than olimpic champion Orro.
As you've already said:
If I'm reborn, I want to be Orro: mediocre at my peak, but overpaid, and with all the medals that matter in my collection...

So the title says one thing, but the article actually says something else...
The perfect clickbait for suckers...

I'd say Turkey reacted clearly to Italy's performance against Bulgaria...
If we add Terzic's ravings, the picture is clear...
It's war...

And Herbots showing in 4th set why she‘s Herbots and not Vargas/Bella, she got ball after ball after ball and didn’t manage to score when the score was so tight.
It's her trademark...

I'm taking my little polemical space
If you're not interested in controversy, scroll down.
That Grozer has dragged this Germany (and yes sir She is dragging it) is beyond doubt, but , on things like stronger than there, stronger than there, eccecc with all the good things we'll talk about it again in 6-7 seasons when she will have (if she ever will have).. the same "mileage/kilometrage" that Herbots (and Alsmeier) have now....
End of polemical space
Herbots has remained the same throughout her career: lots of shouting, lots of useless grit, but then, when it came to her turn to make a difference, she choked like a beginner...
It's very likely, however, that Leanna Grozer will win more than Herbots, and she won't even want much: the screaming Belgian has never won anything in her career, and it's no coincidence that she's never managed to find a spot on a top-level winning team...
And, in any case, not being happy to see a 19-year-old play like this is truly disappointing...

Belgium is throwing the game away...

Belgium's backup OPP tore her ACL
Liese Verhelst? she's eighteen... Very bad news...
-
Haak is UNREAL... She is, by far, the best player in the world right now, GOAT level...

Sylla is crying
It seems acl I hope not
The slow motion image is really impressive: her knee is completely twisted, I'm afraid she's hurt herself badly...
