World Grand Prix 2012

    Quote from serdar

    Ergül is totally in a better shape than Eda :whistle:

    I think Eda has some personal problems. It is good to give some rest for Eda. This Eda is not Eda we already know. So i think, any comparison would be meaningless. :drink:

    If I had to go gambling on WGP, I would definitely go for USA.


    If USA maintains their lineup, I could see them doing well for the rest of the Grand Prix.


    I think we will see a few different players for the rest of the Grand Prix though, so I think it opens up the field for other teams. :)

    What about final round? I hope they will play with main roster at final rounds of GP

    I am talking about their current shapes ;) Which kind of personal problems you are talking about?

    Actually vyz already mentioned about it. I remember she was very hopeful to take some rest after the OQT. I don't know the details, in general every volleyball player is in the same condition but it may be a bit different for married ones.

    I hope so too. :)


    I think we will still see a good team from USA but I am not expecting all their usual starters to play even if they qualify for the Final Round.

    True. Even though Tom is not that much effective in attack anymore, she's still very important to the team because of her serve and reception. This US team will be very, very tough to beat. I think Brazil has dipped since the departure of Fofão but they still are contenders for a medal.


    If Tom picks up her "old" attacking form like what she showed in Beijing, USA will be hard to beat in London. As I was watching the replays, Tom is doing all these dropshots, off speed hits, etc.. If she gains that old form back, watch out..


    Anyway, I feel that Harmotto will be in USA's roster in London. She's very fun to watch...a very powerful attacker and a very imposing blocker.. She and Akinradewo is a very potent tandem..

    "[size=8]It's years and years of work and sacrifice and dedication. Along with a lot of these girls, we've sweat and we've bled and we've cried together in past Olympics. It just brought tears to my eyes, & I'm more than thrilled. This will be forever." -LOGAN MAILE LEI TOM (Silver Medallist - 2008 Beijing & 2012 London Olympic Games, 2011 World Cup runner up, 2003 & 2007 World Cup 3rd place, 2002 World Champs runner up, 4-time World GrandPrix Champs)

    What a horrible performance from Turkey :thumbdown: :thumbdown: I am really didn't like our game..We made so many mistakes, more than Cuba :down: :down: I just can't understand how Eda and Naz can't contribute well each other..They have been playing in the same team for many years but their harmony seems just hopeless :mad:


    Ergül again played a good game..Bravo Ergül :D I am sorry for jokes that I made here about you :D


    The two underperforming teams (Serbia-Turkey) will play each other tomorrow..I don't know what to expect from this match after I have watched both teams today.. :down:

    Congrats Turkey!
    But we didnt play a total good match.We made too many mistakes. im not satisfied with the game.we can win making many mistakes against Cuba because they make more than us, we can win against Arjantine because they are not a strong team but we cann't win against strong teams making so many mistakes.Motto should change some players sometimes when they start to make mistakes back to back.We could use Güldeniz or Selime.Gözde started greatly but then started to make mistakes.Polen was not as active as in previous matches because the sets to her were not good.She had to attack against triple blocks with low sets.And the star of the match was Ergül Avcı.Bravo Ergül.You made us feel ashamed of not believing you and you showed you could have been a starter.Just work on your block then you could be a starter.

    Kadir, i think we need to stop this kind of daily whining anymore. Today, getting 3 points was more important than everything and it was achieved. We made many simple mistakes, right. But it was mostly because of the fluent of the game. I am sure we will watch different play against Serbia. Expecting both teams will give us quality game fair and square. ;)

    I think our players should play more consistent and stop playing one day super well other day just hopeless..As Canter said, we can't win against any strong team with so many mistakes like we have done today. They must play consistent in Olympics because we have neither Argentina nor Great Britain in our pool..

    In this round Italy must go over Germany in the ranking. USA will win in 3 tonight and tomorrow Italy MUST try to win against them!

    It's possible, you just have to believe in yourself and really not care what other people say, because I've heard it all.
    If you let someone else dictate what you're going to do in life, then you won't get there.

    They are enough consistent imo. There are just some ups and downs in their rhythm and all of them mostly because of the teams we faced. All games we played have been ok except Cuba game in Korea. All we know the reason at that game why we lost. I mean there is no need to be disappointed after every game.

    First of all, I am not disappointed after EVERY GAME.. I just can't stand that unconsistency during the game. And if we want to be world class team and to get medal in Olympics, the first problem to solve is that unconsistency..That is what I try to say.

    This team has great potential which can't be shown against every team. It mostly depends on the opponent. It is not hard to realize that. You talking about unconsistency or etc. Sorry but all these kind of your arguments seem to me totally meaningless. That's it ;)

    No live stream for USA-Germany tonight??

    OMG I just realize on sportlemon there aren't link for this match and neither for ITA-BRA ?(
