Orro MVP? No award for Sylla? Danesi best MB? What the hell are these choices?

And what a ridiculous ceremony.

[Federer91 3,386]

Orro can have every kind of awards in my eyes  Plus the MVP is always a person from the winning team and given that there were no Italians amongst 3 main attackers, there is no other option. They won't give it to the libero and for a MB to get it, they need to be flawless, which Danesi is definitely not. 

[AsensioWillemsen 176]

Orro was one of the best in the tourney, but Vargas was the queen of em all IMHO. But yeah, she didn’t win the title

[copravolley 643]

Turkey is probably the most disliked team lately and rightly so:

 

 

- the federation's policies and the constant bring of naturalizations players,
- the terrible behavior of Ebrar Karakurt,
- for many years counting only of Italian coaches (NT seniors, juniors, clubs),
- way of thinking, that for money you can buy anything

 

Turkey NT, currently, resembles some kind of Foreign Legion and has the face of the disgusting Ebrar Karakurt. I hope the regulations change and no further naturalizations will be possible – I heard Turkey is already looking to sign two more players: Markova from Russia and a 16-year-old from Cuba.

Our women's volleyball team is a rare example in Italian sport: the clear favorite go to a major tournament and win. Not as a dark horse, but as a clear favorite for gold. When things weren't going well, we mentally destroyed our opponents: the semi-finals and the final. The final tie-break against Turkey was a display of strength and power in blocking: five blocks of the last seven points, even though we'd been blocking poorly throughout the entire match. A masterpiece. Over the past two seasons, our team has developed such a significant mental advantage over its opponents, thanks to a streak of 36 consecutive victories, that even playing poorly in the decisive phase of the tournament, we were able to mentally break Brazil and Turkey—even though we played worse than them in most matches. Chapeau bas, mister Velasco

Dude stop with the hate, who else is in the team naturalized except Vargas?
