VolleyRuller96 264 Posted June 1, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) 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 the World Ranking) many teams plays with what's not even their B teams (Serbia...), some games take place at really ridiculous time (Really? 13:00 Local time?) and I can't understand why they use this tournament formula at all. The formula used in the 2000's and shortly brought back in 2014, where each country only played 2 home or away games with the same opponent in a given weekend, with no matches on the neutral ground was much, much better.

hoversaBR 300 Posted June 1, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Good game of Flavio and Leal, both are important names that can improve our team for the most important competitions. Now I hope that Alan, our young opposite, may have an opportunity. And Australia !! They are playing very well so far in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoversaBR 300 Posted June 7, 2019 #19 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Iran is wonderful, when that team reaches its potential it will be difficult to stop. What Alan's game. Flavio very well too. Brazil forming a very strong second team, which is excellent since the main athletes are often very irregular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
