I think it's pretty early still to say bye Buijs and Plak because Daalderop and Sloëtjes are better. While I do agree with you from what I have seen so far. Daalderop has been playing amazing today and so did Sloëtjes but I think against good blocking teams this duo together with Balkestein would be clueless in attack. Daalderop hits really well but a bit on a low point which makes me think she won't be as good against a team like Serbia. Sloëtjes gets blocked pretty easy too. I think it's great that Netherlands has now this great variety in Opp and OH as they can use different key players against different style teams. Bulgaria's block was weak to non existent today. Daalderop would just hit straight at the block with as much power as she can and it kept working.

Well, it is just Femke's sets this tournament are mostly fast but low...Both Sloetjes and Daalderop can also hit over the block.
The difference between Sloetjes and Daalderop < -- > Plak, (but escpecially Buijs) is that Sloetjes and Daalderop are much more versatile in attack. Buijs today hit again a few team blind in the block..Nika is smarter.
Of course, Serbia is a total different level, they are the strongest team worldwide at the moment.

May I ask how did you insert such nice youtube link here since the board does not have a ready feature for that?
