I think Bellen is Netherland's most complete MB, can hit the slide AND in front of the setter, has a somewhat good serve, and most importantly she knows how to block something Robin de Kruiff is lacking in this element

We got a tie break with NED v SER
But the POL v BEL is more entertaining for me. I like the way both these teams play.
I'm torn
-
second setter of Korea is cute
She's the lefty of the Lee sisters. #17 and #19. She just looks better than her sister because she has a better hairdo -
NED's #2 replacement setter is doing a fine job

Bellen is keeping the Dutch afloat in the tiebreak

I'll eat some crow. I've written I didn't think I'd ever seen Bellen score a point (liked her blocking, tho). She's playing fabulously. That last shot down the line was done with authority -
NED is so lucky they have Plak as backup if Sloetjes is having a bad day, how many top teams have that luxury in the OPP position no less
EDIT: And even the setter position too!
-
LOL, Belien's carrying her team

NED is the deepest team in this tournament, imo. I like that. They are doing this without De Kruije or Daaderlop -
Boskovic must've been shut down million times in this match
-
How many times Bellen has blocked Boskovic today
-
Ser-Ned very nice match!!
-
Stop with the service errors!
-
And the Dutchies wins!
MVP of the match: Yvonne Bellen
Oops match not yet over spoke too soon
-
I don't even know who #7 is on NED but she's made a few crucial plays down the stretch
-
That was great! A mirror of the THA v JPN game earlier, coming back from 2-0 and going to over time.
Congrats NED!

Her performance today was quite good. Especially in the last few points, her block was really good and effective.
-
What a fight from the dutchies!!! Verry good game by Belien
Plak and stoltenborg turnt the match when they came in. Also credits to Lohuis! Almost no experiens and blocks Boskovic a couple of times. -
Go Belgium!!
-
Epic comeback!!!!!
