For the first time this year, I have enough time to fully watch a game of our NT, and wow, the girls are fighting with :NED for every point so far :bowdown: On you go ladies :cheer:

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

Also, I gotta say I am impressed with :DOM performance this year :)  They already beat :BRAand :RUS, and now lead 1-0 vs :USA.

It is not so surprising considering they are almost complete with Team A. (1 or 2 less players) and Russia, Brazil and the USA are team B or C.

But it is a very talented team, I think they need a new coach.

We won 3-1, demolishing ::NED in the 1st and 4th set :clap:Sure, this is "just the Nations League", but still, I don't think we'd manage 2-3 years ago .  This tournament is shockingly good for us so far. This and the win in Montreux Volley Masters (our 1st ever) shows that something really good is starting to happen in our women NT. 

Not gonna lie, I feel a bit sentimental, as it's the women's team that actually  started my love for volley when I was a kid :clap: I still rememher the 2005 and (some of ;)) 2003 Euro like it was yesterday .


It is clear the girls have made incredible progress lately, and I hope it's only the beginning.

I do not expect much from this Brazilian team, but I confess to having some positive surprises. Brazil is very weak in the opposite, but Paula seems to have potential, Tainara is another good name.


The big problem is Leia, I do not see great security in her and Brazil urgently needs a good libero, as Suelen and Gabi are horrible.

What? I was impressed by her in the match against the Netherlands :d

There are two Gabi. The Gabi libero was also OH, but changed position, the problem is that did not work very well. :lol:

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
