Vargas scored 40 something points... She almost scored 2 of 3 winning sets herself!! If Vargas can't score that many points Türkiye lose. Same with Italy and Egonu. With all the love I have for Türkiyes they are not the best team rn. With Brazil it's not just Gabi, it's Rosamaria, Roberta, Carol, Thaisa, Ana Cristina, Nyeme,... Everybody on their A game, in perfect shape and locked in from the very first whistle. They should be the Olympic champions because they're the best TEAM.

OK? And they probably will be. Why so much unnecessary overthinking at this point?

[Guest]

Brazil has lucky road to the semis, easy group with Kenya, bad Japan and average Poland, now with the worst team of all the quarterfinalists.

Yes, yes, lucky….

My only question w them is if Ana Cristina gets a touch nervous. The others just seem completely locked in. You could argue Nyeme has been the best libero in the tournament.

here comes the haters!!! Poland is far from being mediocre. Brazil made them mediocre by playing so well. Same with Japan.Brazil are not just as good because they have “ easy“ opponents they showed it in the VNL They beat everybody in the post stages. They just that massive.

[Guest]

Turks feeling happy that their country is literally being carried by a woman from Cuba

What’s wrong with that? Should we act like skin heads and harass her? What wrong with you people? She is not the first and probably won’t be the last foreign player that Türkiye welcomed with open arms.

Not really. Guhnes got really lucky on an over.

Tough to see Zhu struggle so much in the 5th.

There was an obvious ball carrying. You had to be blind not to see that.
Generally he wasn’t a good referee.

It was not an obvious call. Some refs were calling carries overly tight to start the tournament, so could understand thinking there might be a call there.

Obvious call was Zehra reaching over the net. Turks have nothing to complain about w the refereeing.

Make an appointment with an ophthalmologist

lol. You just getting yourself psyched to start complaining in the semi. Turks persecution complex as strong as Vargas's attack.

If that wasn't ball carrying, what is ball carrying to you? Take a handbag, put the ball in it and walk out of the gym? You're ridiculous.

Seems like it might be you that's ridiculous. I understand though, tough to have any perspective when all of the Turk fans on twitter are the same, pressing the nitro button on the persecution complex.

Not a mention in sight of Zehra's obvious fault. Just wah, wah, wah.

[Guest]

Whoever it was that was calling for Plummer and Skinner to be put in made a seriously good call.

USA steam rolling Poland so far.

[Guest]

^Changes so quick. Now Poland up 5 in set 3

[Guest]

I'm completely new here, would love if someone could tell me who is fam on polish team

Oh your the anon who is obsessed with Turks and did you try to touch some grass?

Talking about poland like we haven't seen the worst USA team in decades dunk on them just now

Lol acutally yes, the team gets the medal. Ever seen a single player getting a medal at volleyball?

[Guest]

I'm so anxious

The one that wins not the one that plays the most beautiful volleyball. Of course the team that plays the most beautiful volleyball could also win but you know that doesn’t happen every time

[Guest]

Italy with a bit of tense start.

I never mentioned ugly or beautiful volleyball. I talked about team effort as opposed to one player carrying the whole team. Where the form of one player decides if the team wins or loses.

[Guest]

The Kiss that Vargas gave to Zehra was beautiful

When did that happen? Must have missed it.

In which set? I only saw Zehra kissing Vargas on the check.

[Guest]

Guidetti giving the match away, asks for challenge for floor touch when Serbia was on attack, stupid changes, we lost the first set because of him. Fire his stupid ass.

[Guest]

Bosko looks tired

[Guest]

Guidetti gonna be fired before they get on the bus back to the village

[Guest]

Boskovic very very bad this whole tournament.

[Guest]

His tenure not gonna be remembered fondly. They've never looked like they had much energy or life with him. This is embarrassing now.

Giovanni was a passionate coach. He destroyed many iPads but he knew how to motivate his teams. He is older now and he has changed. He is a mood killer now.

[Guest]

Boskovic very very bad this whole tournament.

She was good vs China. 39 points in 4 sets, I think. But yeah otherwise not good. I think she's come off her peak form, sadly.

[Guest]

How you like me now?

Very weird what the team has gone through since the last Olympics.

Yeah, he killed the atmosphere from the first VNL last yr. They came into that tournament as reigning world champs. They had been 3rd in the 2022 VNL without Maja or Bosko. And Giovanni was looking defeated in the first week of competition.

[Guest]

He probably told them that Italy is a Ferrari and Serbia just a Mercedes lol

[Guest]

How you like me now?

But he wont come back, he is a coach of Russian national team who is very talented and will be very competitive once they are allowed to play.

[Guest]

I'm so happy for the girls. It means so much for them to finally overcome this mental block they had that kept them from being a great team, and there’s no better opponent than Serbia to do it against, the very team that defeated us in the World Championship final in 2018 and then in the quarterfinals in Tokyo. Revenge is pretty sweet ngl

[Guest]

Crazy to think volleyball country like Italy has 0 medals on the Olympic games.

[Guest]

He probably told them that Italy is a Ferrari and Serbia just a Mercedes lol

What? Is that an analogy he likes to use?

[Guest]

Bad coaching for Serbia. Kurtagic replaced with awful Popović, Lazović and Stevanović came in to late. He should be fired. Italy is good and I'm happy for them but Serbia is a good team with very bad coaching in last two matches.

[Guest]

This is the first year since 2015 that Serbia wont win any medal at big tournaments including Euros, World championships and Olympic games

[Guest]

How you like me now?

He's a pos, hope he stays in Russia and we never hear about him again

[Guest]

Something he said about the Turkish team. Few days after that he got fired because everyone was outraged.
Actually, he was not wrong, but you have to make the players believe in magic so that they don't give up before the game. And that is exactly where he fails imo.

[Guest]

My bold prediction for the final, Turkey vs. USA

[Guest]

Maja

[Guest]

It is official Guidetti left. Also as much as I love Maja I dont think she needed to come back for this games, Drca was just fine.

Asia Wołosz
last match for the national team.It was wonderful to watch you play

[Guest]

Stéphane Antiga new coach of Serbia.

[Guest]

Apparently guidetti really likes his car analogies, he said it's difficult to drive a car that's not yours. Is he referring to boskovic refusing to come off the pitch or some Serbian fefe region diktat he had to abide by? We'll never know

[Guest]

newbie here. so in terms of last four teams remaining, is turkiye, brazil, us and italy the strongest teams in that order? I am only watching during olympics and heard some commentary about US winning in tokyo but know from my tl that turkiye and brazil are considered the powerhouses of womens volleyball? I thought the china vs turkiye was a really well fought battle and lowkey sad for china to get an unlucky draw in qf itself. Will turkiye vs brazil be the blockbuster battle of strongest two teams?

Turkey is only Vargas, the other players cannot perform without her. Look at how many points she has in the last game compared to Baladin, it´s a huge gap. They can´t win against italy.

The medals are going to USA, Italy and Brazil

I was just coming to post this

This man needs to think beyond car analogies.

[Guest]

Brazil vs USA today. What do you guys think?

[Guessttg]

Brazil vs USA today. What do you guys think?

Well I like my gays so Brazil for me
