Brazil are not playing!! If I wasn't a Brazil supporter I'd be scared for my team.
Speaking of: Do we know where Rosamaria will play next season?

[Guest]

omg, such an amazing game

[Guest]

Brazil look scary good.

Serious question though, what happened to them at the end of VNL?

[Guest]

So Italy – Serbia, Brazil – Dominican Republic, USA – Poland and China – Turkey.

Serious question though, what happened to them at the end of VNL?

1. The length of the tournament: the vnl is a long and tiring tournament and Brazil doesn't do the B team crap like some other teams. It was the same set of players who played every game. Of course you get tired at the end. Up to the semi finals they looked just as good.
2. The schedule: Brazil had lost a five setter against Japan and had to play the bronze medal game while Poland had a rest day between their 3-0 loss against Italy and bronze medal match.

Poland also didn't have any reason to bring this to a tie since they were already qualified and winning with any other result other than 3-0 would've put them in the bad part of the bracket.

I can't believe Italy won all the matches and still got Serbia in the qfs we are truly cursed

Well, we (Serbia) didnt play good but we had China and USA so everything is possible, we can need to play better.

Da. Boskovic was amazing, but the supporting cast has been hit and miss. Tbh, I'd like to see Drca get the start. Maja can do more with the ball than anyone, but I feel like Drca makes better decisions and has been putting the ball in better spots for attackers. Popovic has gone from reserve spot to starting, and imho is the only other clear starter for the team.

Serbian fan, is there any talk in the media about why Brankica was left off the team? She seemed to get herself healthy and in good form this club season. It's such a shame when injuries derail players. Thinking of another...Zhu was also yanked after the first set and was icing her wrist on the bench the rest of the game.

Italy has looked very professional and calm.

It is because Brankica wanted a secure spot in the team for the Olympics and Guidetti wanted to give everyone the same chance.

Yes, the schedule was ridiculous, Brazil played a second five setter 17 hours or something after their battle against Japan. But I think the mental aspect played an even bigger role, in all sports if a team/player who is the favorite to win it all loses in the semis they usually lose the bronze medal match too. Ze Roberto also used this match to test Ana Cristina as an opposite and she was very bad at it, but he kept her on court, so I think he was more worried about preparing the team for the Olympics than getting the bronze. The bronze meant more to Poland as a team who is still the rise than to Brazil at the end of the day.

China vs Turkey - what do you guys think?
Turkey is not in good shape since VNL and faced a significant defeat against Italy in the last game…

Ilkin is just terrible, baladin too, their last game in the olympics for sure, China will eat them alive

Serbia will win tomorrow, it is Maja's birthday.

Why not, you're acting like Italy is unbeatable.
Anyway Turkey - China 1:1, go China.

Turkey= Vargas, she's saving their asses.

Sigh.. the last point of the first set… serve error.

[Guest]

China are looking really good. Without Vargas this game might even be over. She's basically the only one who scores. Türkiye can't rely only on Vargas to carry them to gold by herself.

Zhu Ting now takes over the 4th set. (prob her last match in NT if China lost)
Turkey would be much better if they didn’t lost that critical set point in the first set…

[Guest]

I have never seen a team with so many injuries. Everyone crying in pain and you don’t even have a second libero.

Hande was on fire until she got injured and cried out of pain.
Gizem playing and crying, Cansu out with pain. Vargas for sure can’t win alone in this situation.

Sorry they won’t change the rules because of your ass pain.

[Guest]

Turkey almost comes back from 10 points down. Unusual to see the Chinese lose composure like that. I love watching Li Ying Ying.

If Turkey lost the game I feel so sorry for Vargas. They had a lot of chances but gave them all away to China.

China cheating its way and the referee with them

[Guest]

Shit referee omg and what a match.
Ebrar is not injured but out of shape. Meliha thank you for existing.
Vargas is Vargas she is goat

Not really. Guhnes got really lucky on an over.

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

Vargas is a gold cloak. Nobody thinks she's Turkish.

Italy and Serbia should thank Turkey Lol. The winner of this match will train with Türkiye and go straight to the final.

Vargas is a gold cloak. Nobody thinks she's Turkish.

Girl feels connected with the rest of the team. Even screams and celebrates like them. She is not that quiet player anymore. She is loved by the Turks and she knows it. That’s what matters.

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

For a player? Yes. The mental part is big in all sports but in volleyball maybe even more. Players who feel comfortable loved and respected are lucky. Especially when they experienced the opposite before. I feel sorry for players like Egonu who don’t always feel welcomed you know. I hope that never happens to Vargas.

[Guest]

When did that happen? Must have missed it.

[Guest]

Saori,KYK,Zhu,Koga… all retired/going to retire.
All stars in the Asian women volleyball fields are now gone. Who will be the next one to shine?

[Guest]

Just waiting for Zehra and Vargas to kiss accidentally on purpose

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.

da. I agree. They have very little chance. They have been terrible since Guidetti came.

On the other hand Brazil has been playing beautiful.

[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.

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

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