Speaking of Korea, I am glad that they removed that Left-handed OP and replaced with with a young girl. She is somewhat better in attack. And the one of the MBs is good as well.
I think the main reason is that other teams are not familier with her, caz she was playing MB
and her attack from back row is not strong enough -

Cuba vs Japan match is now on in justin.tv. Cuba is currently leading 8-3 (to my surprise)
-
I think Giel might be the next Nancy. Her attack percentage should be up high after this first set.
-
I think this is an interesting match-up. Hard-hitting vs exceptional digging. Japan has the experience, efficiency and speed whereas Cuba has the raw power.
-
Giel is playing really well in this tournament...Cuba is finally playing something today
-
I am starting to accept that they cannot be a "force" in this OG (if they qualify, which likely they won't). But I am sure that they will be in Rio. Giel/ Silva, Cleger/Silie Salas/Palacios.
-
If Cuba could reduce their mistakes, they could be serious contenders again for world titles. Just look at those attacks! They spike like they are playing in the Men's tournament
-
they're always like that. The main differences that I can see from today's team vs the old are blocking/defense.
whew.. they're tied now at 23.
-
What a collapse by Cuba late in this first set!
-
what they did........
-
Japan made it from 17:23 to 25:23 in 1st set!!!!
-
I thought the Cubans would get this 1st set. They have a good lead but were not able to maintain it and Japan managed to turn the tides. Disappointing.
-
I used to dismiss the thought brought up by Anton. But now, I can fully agree. Carcaces is THAT important for Cubans.

qualifications such as this could have been a breeze for Cuba if they have Carillo, Calderon, Carcases, and Ramirez in the team.

agree. On the other hand, Yamaguchi is giving all the added points for Japan. they haven't figured out her attack pattern yet, as far as i can see.

Another link please???

Perhaps they're anticipating attacks from Saori and Ebata?
Meanwhile Cuba is leading 8-16 (!) in the second set. Let's see if they can keep this up or repeat that meltdown in the closing of the 1st set.

You can find one in hahasport.com. Here we go again, 16-8 in favor of Cuba. Hope they can maintain momentum. Santos' serve is really fast.
