This tournament is a complete joke. Not just because of the b teams, but mostly because everyone plays like they don't give two shits.    Nothing really matters, this doesn't qualify for any

Sad to see such low attendance figures at non-host games in some places, but well - this tournament  means basically nothing these days ( To the point it doesn't even give the winner a single point to

Our team is playing piss poor and frankly doesn't deserve at the moment to be in the League. But that travel of 20+ hours was absurd. This system is one epic fail.

This competition is just to close to the end of the club season. I hate seeing teams play without their best players. It needs to start at the end of june, then have a slight break in august, when it's not an Olympic year and have the big championship in september. Way better schedule..

How can Serbia play at home with a squad like this? No respect for the fans that buy tickets.

No reason for them to do anything different if they are already qualified for like 5 next editions of the Nations League :wall: Fans bought tickets, federations got their money, everyone's happy  (except the fans :( )

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

Nothing really matters, this doesn't qualify for anything, it's just a bother amid preparation for the real qualifiers which are in 2 months, ranking points are laughable, it's 15 games just to make the finals, the main leagues finished like 2 days ago...

 

I miss the old World League of the 90s/early 00s :cry: almost all teams cared, B teams were rare and the title had prestige.

I get the idea that they want all the big teams to play each other. Have more matches, no small groups, no playing the same teams 4 times like in the past. For me it's fairer this way. 

 

But then the no relegation rule is just pure BS. Just make the last 2 teams drop, no matter who they are. With 16 teams, the biggest nations will never be in last either way. Also fix the schedule, like i said in a couple of posts. If you want to make the teams play even more serious, give quotas to the Olympics from the VNL. Make a cumulative table of the 3 editions between OG and the top 2 teams earn a spot. There are ways to make this thing not look like a throw-away competition. 

 

PS. Good first game for us and a nice win. Didn't watch it, because it was in the middle of the night here, but from the clips i saw, we played with enjoyment. Great performance by Uchikov and with the return of Sokolov this summer, we can have options in attack.

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
