Kk15 TOP 500

I read that Leandro Araujo after sending the signed contract to Vibo signed also with Galatasary. Now Vibo informed the FIVB and doesn't want to keep, but seems Galatasaray will do the same...

Lampariello will stay in Macerata

Filippo Lanza, that last season played in Trento under20 team (they won the junior league) and I think also in Club Italia A2 will be in Trento first squad as 4th OH. Lucky guy!

Yes Berny, btw Russia helped.
Musersky in the end of set made three mistake in receptions (he had to take that ball!!), attack and serve. Actually everythings he did O.o

@HeelMooi: damn, sorry! I'll edit right now?

few interviews from FIVB youtube channel:

2 hours and the final8 will start *_____*

I can't wait!

@Rachel, if you like I can ulpoad it, but I think is better for the quality to ulpoad it on megavideo and give you the links than using youtube... what do you prefer/suggest? ^^

yes, when I saw it I thought "I have to try it!!" But I will avoid the part when the player that "touched" the ball runs to the back row and comes back in the court :P I'm too lazy for itxD

Nice video! The music fits, I prefer more "energic" music for a volleyball movie but it's ok, this one is a nice song so not a big deal :) May be there some defense less than I expected, but I enjoyed it! Can I ask if there is a specific reason to you for choising France? I'm curious :) BTW I read that Blain spook with N'ghapet, seems he will be back at ECH ;)

I think Cuba improved a lot from the beginning of the WL, for exemple they played respectivly well and very well in the last two matches vs Italy, and of course they have a great potential, so actually they "may" be able to get the semifinal... I mean, I won't be such surprised if they will play a good final8 pool...
but I don't trust too much in their "cold blood" and in their setters' tactical abilities, and you need both to play vs Brazil or USA...

Oh, Dennis is so young!! HeelMooi, do you have Ned-Italy of Atlanta 1996? (the final of the Olympics)? I found it on routraker, if you like I can upload it! =) I think it's a better memory for Ned than for Ita xD

Seems he is going to Trento, the other hipothesy is Piacenza. That is what I read on italian website :) But in Trento, at least in Italy he will play as as sub, because of the number of foreigns (max 4) allowed to be on court at the same time. So Birarelli has to stay on court. Unless Todorov will play instead of Djuric, but Djuric is supposed to be titoular, I think. I imagine in CL and WCC he would have more space! (the same happened to Riad)

Oh, I forgot the compliment for the movie: I really like it! Just one thing: the music fits well, but I think it's a little bit too "sweet" ^^

Damn, that a wonderul spiker!! His pipe is amazing! And I remember him playing as opposite in the last part of WCH final, he was unstoppable also there! And he have also a nice float-serve (not only a nice jump-serve). May be the youngest capitain of a NT ever?

I agree with Roninho! and "i bet : 1-brazil 2-cuba 3-russia 4-bulgaria "--> no way it will happen, because Cuba, Brazil and Russia are in the same pool!!! Only two of them can be in the top 4 then. If you are thinking of betting money, I suggest you to make another prediction :P

The market like to be quite crazy: voices about the chance of Farina coming back in Sisly, Paparoni going in Rome and Exiga in Macerata.
Kovar propably only in loan in Macerata.
Cuneo really wants Barone, but Vibo doesn't want to let him go, and becuse he is under 24 (he will be 24 years old in december) he can't go if the society doesn't want.

Oli4, I hope no :P

eRKa,vtnklmdc, I agree! It's my favourite team (after Italy, obviously)! I can't wait for Argentina-Italy! Facundo and De Cecco are amazing *.* But all the players seem often to have fun playing togheter, to really enjoing being togheter on the court! I found very nice the sentence Zorzi wrote in the "Blog" (in WL website): ‎"But one of my favourite teams to watch this year has been Argentina. They are young but very smart in the way they play. They play like Barcelona play football, beautifully."

as far as I know yes, he will be the first opposite as last year, with Sokolov as second

@chrison: may be you misunderstood me, my fault, but Kovar, Exiga and Paparoni aren't official transfert yet.

Paparoni's personal manager/lawyer - after the article in volleyball.it - wrote that Macerata didn't say anything to Paparoni, and he still has a pluriannual contract with them. So nothing sure so far about Paparoni and as consequences about Exiga.

Also Kovar isn't official yet, but seems that he will go in Macerata.


Fei is offcially in Sisley http://www.legavolley.it/NewsLeggi.asp?tipo=3&ID=35389
the 13th (if I'm not wrong) the market in Italy will be close at 13.00 (18.00 for A2). There will be a three-day market meeting from 11th to 13th.

they can even without Simon, don't worry about that :P BTW Italy changed as much as Cuba (but unfortunally Cuba didn't exactly "chosed" it), so they started this WL with the same chances.
