Another challenge won by Marichev

Quote from Matthias

And just as I complain German fed posts a news
GER - ITA 3:2 (25:18; 19:25; 25:16; 25:16; 11:25)
GER started with Apitz, Kozuch, Fürst, Silge, Beier, Brinker, Dürr. All players except Poll and Pettke entered during the match. Kozuch 19 pts, Beier 11 pts, both with 50% in attack. German team only with 5 attack errors from 139 attempts and 10 aces with 11 serve errors.

Any stats form Italian side available?

Quote from Toguttt

Pomì Casalmaggiore wants to transfer Anastasia Guerra already in January. She is currently playing in Club Italia on loan, but she is property of Pomì.

It would be a great mistake wasting her on the bench when she can play as a starter all matches, because I think when Picci will come back from the injury Bacchi will be the first substitute and Guerra the second in any case.

Quote from Diesse14

Becky Perry will continue her career as a beacher for the italian NT.

What is the sense of this?!

Urallotchka's MB Jack is really really good. Has she always played in Russia? I'd like to see her playing in Italy

Finally a good performance by Toksoy at blocking, 6 so far plus 10 points in attack.

Many queen bees in German NT

Toksoy is doing very well so far in Scandicci, at least in attack maybe she have to improve in block but I can't understand why Cansu has always been prefered to her both in club an NT. Hope she could take her spot in NT again, she is still young.

Quote from ILoveVolley

I absolutely agree on Frigo, she should have a chance, but I understand very well why Plak is on the bench more often than on court: she's too unstable on the second line fundamentals for a team that already has so many problems. Of course Sylla is not a master herself, but you can tell she has been working and she's trying also different attacking solutions, right now is not paying off, but this is just the beginning (and I'm sure that as soon as Barun will find her best shape, all the other players will benefit). Maybe it's just me, but I always feel uncertain when Plak does everything else than attacking, I always wonder what kind of movements she will do, in which position she will find herself; sometimes her roughness is even funny, but if you think she's playing in Serie A is not that funny anymore. She has indeed an incredible potential, but if she wants (has) to play as an OH her power is not enough; her technique in every fundamental has to improve a lot, she's still young, it's true, but this is the time to do this kind of work.

Plus I wonder who taught Plak the awful block technique that she showed yesterday

Quote from ravens#7

I wonder why Sylla and Paggi start over Plak and Frigo.

I wonder the same,too. Plak can't be on bench, Bergamo needs her power. And Paggi is too old now to be starter in a team that want to win something again. Besides Frigo showed good thing in her little time on court during the last match.

INCREDIBLE! I've seen Goncharova smiling for the very first time during 1st set of final

So Rep. Dominicana is the winner, for the first time. Happy for them, they deserved. Anyone knows the individual awards or the best team?

I think the kenyan Mercy Moim deserve the possibility to play abroad in a better club, why no one is interested in her? If I'm not wrong some Algerian players play abroad (in France I think) but Moim, with good trainer and high level training could become a strong player. Some average level team should consider this, in my opinion.

EDIT: She plays in Finland

Wiebke Silge is impressive si far.

Quote from pappi

Their roots are from Italy for sure.
Argentina is an immigration country, over 90% were from Italy and Spain
and Italians were taking the major portion of the immigrants.
Soccer become popular in Argentina due to the Italians who brought the sport in.
the King of football Diego Armando Maradona is pure italian.

I'm Italian and half of my grandfather's brother went to Argentina in 1950, is very common in Italy
