Why 15kg of muscle? 'Cause the eye wants to be satisfied, too! ? (just in case you're wondering...yes, i'm joking, but not too much ;-D ).

I agree: more muscle=hotter ?

'Cause he's a fighter ;)

Aelinn:what you said is true and I agree with you. The point with Michelino (I call Baranowicz this way 'cause he's very young :) ) is that now is 21 but he won't be 21 forever ;) and, constant practice, especially for setters (as raylight wrote previously), is essential to improve. I know he didn't give his best last year in Sovia: I think he had some problems. First of all, a new country (he wasn't able to say a word in Polish when he arrived there...did you know that?) and a different kind of league. Then lack of experience, for sure, was important too. But, I find that last year's experience in poland for him was absolutely useful, 'cause when I've seen him playing this season I was impressed by how he has improved!! Anyway...sorry, the topic of this thread is Zygadlo...i'm afraid i went OT. Sorry again :)

Concerning Michal's "explosion" as a player now he's in his thirties: I remember an interview he gave a couple of months ago I think (don't remember exactly) where he said that he has reached a self balance and confidence and also a sort of serenity that allow him to play better than he did when he was younger. But I'm pretty sure that also the fact he finally found "True love" (with his new girlfriend) has its part in the matter :D

@Zyta: I don't know why, but I'm not surprised by the news about Facundo at all ?

Unfortunately such things happen when you play for teams crowded with big names. Lukasz has in front of him a setter like Raphael and that's the reason why he hasn't many opportunities to play. It's exactly the same situation our Baranowicz is currently going through in Cuneo: very few chances for him to play 'cause the titular is a terrific and highly-experienced player like Grbic. Maybe sometimes it is better for a player to go in a smaller club but being sure of playing always than being in a huge super-famous club but running the risk of never (or barely) setting his/her foot on court.

@raylight: did you post the same comment twice 'cause you wanted to emphasize the fact that you liked that part of the article, right? ? I didn't know you understand Italian ?

Gente ? ancora un giorno e si riparte ?

One more day and it will all start again folks ?

@raylight: hope you'll be satisfied man...i've put the translation into English just for you ?

Some kind of Universal Cataclysm must have occurred today 'cause Berny gave a 5-star rating to something like 3 movies :O and he never does that :D

@Berny: I agree :D let's stop it here :)

@Kjeldhor: also because he's 34 or something...if we have to try someone new, let's give Sabbi a chance!

@Berny: my dearest :D are you challenging me? Okay...I'm ready :D 1. Doesn't exist "Italian siesta"...but Spanish Siesta :) (do you remember?...Spain...Spanish flies?) :D 2. I'm actually here after 8...not 6...and you perfectly know why!! :D 3. So...you're looking for a replacement of me??? Already?? :(

@Kjeldhor: do you mean for our current NT?

Aelinn, don't listen to Berny's "advice" :) ... he's a playful person: he likes joking and kitting all day :D

@Aelinn: you can start from this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zLu6cEYA-M&feature=related

Anyway if you search on YT you'll find a lot of videos about him (playing both with his main club "Mediolanum Milano" and Italian NT) ? Enjoy it ?

@Kjeldhor: chapeau ?

amazing images... upsetting music :D

I like Lasko...a lot! For me he's a very good opposite. If you have read some of my other comments, you already know that I've changed my mind about our NT after this WC; I mean I don't find we have great champions but Michal is an excellent player (probably the best we have). Despite that i have to say that imho the best opposite Italy has ever had was Andrea Zorzi: incomparable.
