2013 FIVB Junior World Championship - Turkey - 22/08

  • I would wait when You will play vs Strong Opponent, Morocco or Egypt.. By the way suprising close sets anyway.


    At this level, African teams are not bad as female teams. Also India and CHN are more than mediocre teams. (We beat CHN at friendlies just before tournament started) Anyway lets wait for further matches

  • TUN beat USA 3-1 :white: It is really good to see some competitive male teams from Africa continent contrast to female teams :whistle:

    I would say USA is weaker than ever. Rwanda took set from USA and then didn't win the set vs Other.

    No, I watched them. Especially Thomas Jaeschke and Benjamin Patch seemed very good player to me. Also they just has beaten CAN with 3-0 score :roll:

  • First side:


    S: Mao Tianyi, Yan Tingwei
    OP: Leng Zhimin, Liang Zhenhui
    OH: Du Kunyu, Han Tianyi, Liu Zhaoqin
    MB: Qin Zhen, Wang Hao, Hu Xizhao
    L: Zhang Zhendong, Wang Xiangshuai


    Fact:


    S: Mao Tianyi
    OP: Yan Tingwei (Leng Zhimin)
    OH: Du Kunyu, Liang Zhenhui (Hu Xizhao) (Liu Zhaoqin)
    MB: Qin Zhen, Wang Hao (Hu Xizhao)
    L: Zhang Zhendong, Wang Xiangshuai (as a receival substitute)


    Han Tianyi is injuried.


    Zhang Di, don't do science experiment again.
    You are not Alekno.

  • Did anyone watch RUS-ITA match? I missed it but I wonder if Russian doesn't care about much or Italy played superb? :teach: Russia is supposed to be the clear favourite, I didn't expect them to lose any set during preliminaries :what:

  • today or?

    Randazzo finally got help from OH's, Borgogno was really good. Russians were played relaxed and despite losing match they are No. 1 favs for gold

  • All the teams from pool C has beaten the ones from pool D :white: In addition to SRB-ITA match, the close sets between TUN and RUS were really surprising too. I feel like somehow Russian won't reach gold medal :whistle:


    What about predictions about semis? French will be a tough one. They have the best reception line with OHs and their libero. On the other hand we are worse server team of tournament. That will be a really interesting match up. Also i wonder how will Iran perform against Brasil. Russians and Italians are favourite of their clash
