So let's be honest, it's the same like Rosner was playing in Foppa
she is not going there to score points
Milena Rosner!

I love Karakurt. I can't help it.
I prefer a true Villain than a fake Princess.
Angel can certainly give a better overview, on the top of my head I can name Segura, Rivero, Alvarez (setter) and Berbel (MB). In the last years a lot of players didn't accept the invitation to NT every year, it's a chronic issue.
Let's not forget Escamilla. She's been injured for like 2 years, sadly...
I don't think marte is sad
Dragana Ilic o Aleksandra Boricic (former Sirio Perugia)?
Eric looks like a whole different person. Thaisa level.
Somehow, USA won against DR. Lee was very productive.
Do the DR players want Cristobal to have an heart attack? He literally created this tournament to secure the NT a gold medal every year.
Spartak Subotica signed Tijana Milojevic and Sladjana Eric
Timeless Sladjana Eric!
I just turned on the TV. I think I saw Esther Lopez. What a marvelous player she was!
I hope I won't be talking to myself in this topic when the tournament starts.
I saw her in many NORCECA tournaments and she was harvesting medals and awards. Also I followed her in the LVS and once more she was huge.
What happened to Natalia Martinez? Why isn't she making the main roster anymore? She has such a huge potential. She ruled the youth and junior competitions.
The level is very low, you are right, but this year it is no lower than the last editions: from 2019, the year in which the CEV decided to bring the number of participants from 16 to 24 teams, unfortunately it has been a descent towards hell...
If anyone could have thought that mid-level teams could thus approach the top, it seems clear to me that now we are getting the opposite result and the gap between the Top Teams (bear in mind that Russia is missing, which is now would be a great team) and the others got up with a worrying leveling downwards...
The road taken is completely wrong and I think we absolutely have to rethink the thing: the matches in the preliminary rounds are just negative publicity for women's volleyball...
It must also be considered that the athletes of the top teams, who already have an 11-month season, between club and national team, put a lot of useless matches on their knees and shoulders that could easily be avoided......
IMHO teams like Finland and Greece were clearly better 2 years ago, for example. They could be 2 more rising middle level teams, but eventually turned out to be worse. Same for few more NTs.
2021 EuroVolley was not much different than now but at that time Türkiye ana Poland was not that good. These 2 team improved a lot, and created a big hole between mid level and İtaly-Serbia duo.
I don't think the problem is there. I see many teams getting from bad to worse. Even some improving teams are now stuck on a mediocre level or worsening. And Russia is missing.
If anyone could think otherwise (although frankly I don't know how), I think it's quite clear that Italy, Poland, Serbia and Turkey play a different sport from other teams...
For Italy and the winner of Serbia-Poland the European championship will start in the semifinals, for the other two in the quarterfinals...
This is by far the worst ECH I've ever seen. The level is tragic so far.
Azerbaijan...
I feel so bad for Rahimova. She has to adjust all her runs to try to spike. If she struggle to kill the ball...
I think you are all going too far. Danesi isn't a bully, neighter Egonu is a troublemaker, or Ebrar is a someone that got bullied.
Each one of them as her own personality.
Danesi didn't like Ebrar's behavior and went open about it.
Egonu is well known for her very peculiar personality.
Ebrar could look rude on court when she can't keep her passion.
What about leaving them be?
PR will send 10 players from their youth team at the NORCECA Final Six.
Ready to see DR winning their gold medal.
