World Grand Prix 2012

Quote from Matthias

Wow what an exciting match, congrats to Thailand Even though it was obvious that they were really really tired in the end they kept fighting until the last point and I admire that! Onuma was the decisive player in attack, but I'd like to point out the performance of Wanna Buakaew in 5th set too, some of her defenses were just out of this world!!! Especially the way she throws herself into the way of the ball when there is no real block, she has great anticipation and no fear at all

totally agree...fantastic!!

Quote from Bay Ekyqnc

I am sad because we could win this game if we managed to play at normal level on the net. I am happy because we had a chance to see us against Usa team after years.

We started to play after one and a half set, unfortunately. I knew we came back to the game and made the game hard for them but our players were a bit late to realise it. It was clear that turning the game after 0 - 2 against usa would be really hard job. Our MB's(none of them), unfortunately, aren't the players of that high level so their shit performances create a big hole in the team. Ergül looked effective today at attacks but she didn't even try jumping to block Hodge or Richards. American OH's were probably surprised when they saw just one blocker or none of blockers ahead of them during the game at spiking. What a pity for this quality team which hasn't not even one quality blocker. It doesn't matter how many quality players we had. If we can't manage to improve our performance on the net, the games against top teams will not be easy for sure. Still, I am hopeful about MB's general performance to raise till OG. Because this hard wgp marathone may affect their performance in a bad way.

Congratulations to the Usa team. They are doing great job even without main players. That team surely deserves big respect. It will be great to see Richards to play for Yeşilyurt next year. I hope Harmotto will also come here after one more year in Italy.

Tomorrow, we must guarantee to get a medal by winning China because Brazil game will not be much different than today's game. It will be open to any results. It is almost certain that Usa will get the gold so it would be good to see a silver medal match at last day.

As I said before many times, we have worse MBs Obviously it is very well known by other teams since USA's MBs even didn't try to cover our MBs and we always had 2 block for both 2 and 4 zone

Only promising thing is that Ergül keeps embarrassing people who makes fun of her Apparently Motta also thinks like me that she tries Ergül instead of Büşra. I hope Ergül get the chance to OG

what i liked most in the Usa team : the players play with a great self -confidence and try to show their % 100 when they come to the NT .The usa team seems to create a very good atmosphere for the players to play.For example players like Richards,Barboza dont play greatly in club teams but both of them play with higher self confidence and self sacrifice.thats important and the key word is "professionalism".

not:i congratulate our women basketball team for getting the ticket to LOndon OG 2012.

WE ARE THAI

last ball in third set. They can do it.

No.12 Tapaphaipun Chaisri. She's height 1.68 m but today she spike very good.

Tapaphaipun should have been so impressive, she is nominally third libero. Unfortunately I didn't have chance to see any match yesterday because I had results of my high school exmas.

Tapaphaipun is gutsy. She doesn't appear to be afraid about who she is playing against. That's a cool attitude! That should inspire her younger teammates (though she is young herself).

first set 25-20 for brazil against thailand.. thais seem tired they cant fight like yesterday,in the second set brazil is leading again

Fernandinha is not as technical or physical as Fabiola and Dani Lins...the difference is that she is in control of the court. ... And she has Sheilla playing well again.

Edit: But she is not as amazing as Nootsara.
