World Grand Prix 2012

Quote from bartol_bp

I really dont understand Marcos Kwiek... He's stupid... Why he has 4 MB in 12?? he has a big problem with OH, so i dont understand why PRISCILLA IS OUTSIDE THE 12!!!

You're definitely right, but Kwiek in last years uses in roster 4 MB's but also for me it's stupid as you said. Priscilla Rivera as commentator said has some problems with health and that's the reason, why she's out of roster. Yesterday against Germany she played weak, only 2/12 in spike, although her reception wasn't so bad 36 % exc./100 % pos. With Taipei she also was out of 12. Instead of Rivera, he could have tried... Rodriguez but she isn't with team now

Quote from kondzio

Certainly, although on FIVB she has 192, I'm impressed by her height in this age

Official version: birth year 1996, height 192.
Probable truth: birth year 1992, height 196.

You must believe me, that she doesn't have a problems with health. Problems is with other thing (but i cant say which).
Yesterday almost all team played bad... I think, that the worst player in the team was Milagros Cabral.. She played shit in reception and in attack... so ... i think, that yesterday should be in the court Bethania (her attack is better than Miilagros, even if she had worse day) and Priscilla played good in reception, because yesteday's reception was OMG...

and i think, that Eve is under good form and in her place should play Arias (good substitude against Taipei) and of course Karla should be in the bench...

Like every year, I am astonished that DOM doesn't seem to have made any progress at all. Right now their reception looks Cuban...

De la cruz out and martinez in? WTF!?!?! (BTW, Martinez seems like Hagrid)

Cabral played poorly, but Bethania wasn't good either. She couldn't score properly as she always did. Priscilla also didn't solve this problem. Dominican Republic need new OH's, Martinez is young and perspective, pity that Burgos ended career. Rodriguez could be helpful and look! Rondon as OH Maybe coach change isn't a stupid solution

Quote from DarkoMacedonia

Logan is playing great!! To all who said she couldn't score or she was a disaster.

+1. It's a volleyball lesson !

Hm... now you're right, but believe me, that with Brenda Castillo this team is one of the best in the world. Brenda was player, which did everything in defence (reception and dig). Great player.... if you saw Caso yesterday... you can see, that this team without good libero is without reception and normal game in attack and setting...
(BTW I'm happy, that Winifer is in the court on libero position)

In continentals NORCECA olympic qualification Brenda played there very good and reception, defence was good.

Brenda may come back after losing her pregnancy, but we don't konw if she get over quickly

How can a team play if it changes every 2-3 points? Kwiek?

Turkish MB Kübra Akman was 196 cms when she was 16 too, so It's not impossible.

Now it looks a bit better: De La Cruz back on court, Vargas made good serves maybe double substition Marte-Mambru also help, now it's 9-11

Yes I know, Castillo is an amazing player, one of the most enjoyable in the world to watch. But the strange thing is, in senior NT she never played as great as in junior where she did simply everything: receive, dig, set, even play dangerous balls over the net when necessary. In senior NT she plays "only" like a normal libero (but very well of course) but she can do so much more...

Her full name is Cindy Carolina Rondon Martinez
