Wow, Turkey! So close...
Ugh Of course I want the USA to win but I admire the Turkish fighting spirit!
ohh Turkey it was so close, match is very equal, i hope they can do it in other sets, come on !
Definetely really really big congrats for turkey,really big play against usa
Turkey had many chances to win this set, but Neslihan didn't score.
Thompson has been fine it's been Haneef-Park that hasn't.
I still can't believe he took Haneef
Exactly. Metcalf could've been much more helpful. (Or even Fawcett.)
Turkey is playing great and I admire their fighting spirit, but they would have to play with 0 errors to really win USA is simply the best team in this competition. I really hope Turkey won't give up and keep fighting like this, maybe they'll get the reward eventually...
Turkish determination is a sight to behold. It certainly lifted their gameplay. Things could have been different for them have they played like this in their earlier matches.
whoa its very hard to beat USA what a team
USA 1-0
Good match
Starting the game well was important for us and they did but again they get caught and gave it away. Neslihan got blocked at several important moments.
Keep on!
Congrats to Russia! Sokolova is a real champion! She may not play the same as 2-4 years ago, but she was crucial today at giving some stability in reception and defence.
Italy played good, hope Lo Bianco will be healty for QF!
totally agree ,
but i think it is very difficult to Russia to against BRA or TUR
Turkey needs to serve better again, it was the key early in 1st set when they took the lead. For example, later in 1st set, Naz aced Davis and then she sent the next serve to Larson who delivered a perfect pass...this is something I don't understand.
What a roof of Büsra on Harmotto!!!
You can see the turkish team can't match USA by technical means, but they play with a lot of spirit. It's unfortunate they didn't do that in previous matches.
Hooker's digging so much!
Turkey does a great job controlling everyone except Hooker, she is unstoppable so far...
Hooker's backrow defense and serve improvement over the past year have been very noticeable.

This is efficiency versus determination. They make exciting matches.

No one can stop her! (Russia is my last hope. )
