the pools are offical!

yes, for exemple the first ace of this movie was so smart, unpredictable!

uoooo! I love it! Full of energy*.*

Fei officially in Sisley Belluno (he released an interview)

Oh my God. That is really really high! How can you stop something like this?!O.O And smart ace too!

Nice movie! In effect there was to much Poland, Brazil and Italy, but I enjoied the choises of the actions (or replays). this down-view replay under the net is awsome!

on volleyball.it it was published a letter from Paparoni personal lawyer ("procuratore") to denied that he signed anything with Sisley, and to say that Lube didn't say them nothing about an hipotetical cession: he still has a pluriannual contract with Lube.

I agree Zyta, I don't like this unofficial law too.
Also because I bet that if one between the teams of the first pool will may be win the WL, someone will say "yes, but they had an easier tournament, yes, but they didn't had to play vs this or that team, yes, but ..."
At he will may be right.

I almost agree.
I think Russia and Brazil definitly deserve to be in semifinal, USA probably, but I don't know who deserves to be the fourth semifinalst. Probably now I won't say Cuba.

ops, I thought it was universal xD mah, mm can be the same...

it's the expression in the lower right corner here (the last face):

That was my expression (wih longer and curlier hair and glasses:P) when I read these pools xD

second line, oioi ?
Exiga!

Akolita, I don't know for sure, but I think he will be the libero, also because Farina is in Roma

It seems that it will be as you said, guys. Bah.

Paparoni in Sisley Belluno form Macerata and Kovar in Macerata from Sisley.
Exiga will soon be Macerata libero. I'm sorry that at the end they won't keep Paparoni...
Does anybody know smth about Van Walle?

http://www.volleyball.it/redazione/index.php?action=viewArticle&articleId=64533
Actually about Kovar there was an article on dal15al25.gazzetta.it that says he wants to go there (and macerata needs him) but actually he is still in contract qith Sisley...

Last year the order was n1 Arg, n2 Brazil, n3 Cuba, n4 Russia, n 5 Italy, n6 Serbia and the two pools were: n1+n2+n6 (Argentina, Brazil, Serbia); n3+n4+n5

But actually it doesn't help to understand, because there were only six teams...

Oh, thanks for explanation!
But why Brazil and USA (as the first and second teams in the host's pool) have to be togheter? Is there a specific rule about that?
Will it happen even if USA will be the n8? (n7 in point)
Can Russia-Bulgaria or Italy-Cuba be in the same pool?

But I don't think that it is right that n2 and n3 (considering that in points they are n1 and n2) are in the same pool, the rightest thing IMO is putting the two strongest teams apart..

I agree with Zyta, how is possible that the pools have already been chosen when USA hasn't reach the final 8 yet?

BTW, I hope they aren't the real pools... I still think that Russia, Brazil and I'll say USA are the "teams to beat", so I hope they won't be all in the same group.

And I still didn't understand HOW they will chose the pools O.o

USA won "only" 3-2

no Revan, your guys played very well, we weren't on our best day, and they fighted all the time not to let us coming back. Of course we didn't played on our best level, ex in serve expecially with our best server, but please don't think that Cuba won only because Italy let them, they fight a lot and they deserved it.
