Apparently FIVB wants to change it's name - they claim it is too long and that's what makes Volleyball less recognizable than it should be :lol:

Julio Velasco summons 30 players for training

Buenos Aires, Argentina, April 7, 2017 – Argentina coach Julio Velasco summoned 30 players from the men’s senior, U23 and junior teams to the Cenard facilities on April 3 to start preparing for the busy 2017 volleyball season.
 
Key player Facundo Conte will not see action this season. In agreement with coach Velasco, he will take a year’s break to be ready for bigger challenges in 2018 and 2020.
 
Velasco had a difficult decision to make but considered the importance of giving Conte some rest this year to put him in the best conditions for the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
 
Velasco also offered his veteran players, including captain Luciano De Cecco, a year off this season after playing for 10 consecutive international seasons, but the superstar setter chose to be part of the team.
 
Argentina will open their season with the FIVB Volleyball World League, playing against Russia, Bulgaria and France in Pool C in Surgut, Russia.

Tommorow it's start of the U19 Boy's European Championships in :SVK and :HUN and we are hoping for a medal :champion:

:HUN:POL, :ITA , :RUS , :BUL , :BEL will play in Pool A in Gyor, Hungary

:SVK, :ROU, :TUR, :FIN , :FRA , :CZE will play in Pool B in Puchov, Slovakia,

 

All play-off matches will then be played in Gyor.

As was the case with women's championships, the top 6 teams will advance to the world championships (and my bet is they would be :FRA,:RUS,:POL,:ITA:SVK and :FIN  )

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
