Interesting. Sokolova as MB?
That's Merkulova 
Italy turns it around eventually...Startseva is a big problem for Russia at the moment.

Just sucks that the only interesting match of this pool is on the last day of play

I disagree. What do you expect Starseva to do with that passing? Last two points there is nothing any setter on earth can do to better that ball.
-
Italy looks like an asian team in defence
Amazing 
-
I wish both teams looked more into the match. Italy struggles in reception, Startseva is making me shiver. They should be better, it's like they don't really care.
No way Russia would let a good advantage like that slip away under usual circunstances. (That's something Brazil would do.
) -
Yepp, the quality of Startsevas sets killing me...her connection with mb´s but also her sets to Goncharova is so predictable, bad and slow.
-
Traditionally Italy is a big headach for Russia especially last 5 years or so. Won't be suprised if Italy wins this match again.

That's Merkulova

Yes. Effect of a poor stream.
Too bad Russia lost the set
-
the worst choice startseva could have made
-
Startseva! why are you playing so bad?
She could set to Gamova but she choose Merkulova... WHY?!! -
Why Del Core is still in, Barbolini???

I was not referring to the last two balls but to her overall performance, especially early in the set.
Del Core back in for Italy...I just don't get it.

Cant russian middle players make some points
? Its like they r not in the field and it makes the OHs job really harder -
Let Del Core playing
-
Two of the oldest starting 6's in the tournament?
-
China and Korea are close to each other, it would be normal if it is 5 sets.
it doesn't always a fix match, it would be disgrace to the players.I know some of the Turkey fans are angry
but Korea can beat 3:0 Brazil, played 2:3 to Turkey,
China played 2:3 to Brazil
why can't they have 5 sets?Turkey still has a chance to reach QF,
if you guys beat USA.
if you blame for China Korea having 5 sets which is not really fix match
than you should blame yourself for not getting 3 points from Korea and win the 5th set from Brazil. -

Italy yes, but Russia has Goncharova, Startseva (both 1989) and Borisenko (1986). Only Estes lifts their average
Russia needs to push serve, I don't understand why they go after Costagrande now when Del Core clearly was the weak spot in 1st set.

Any good live stream? Mine just sucks

Come on it's no normal
We saw their face in match no happy no sad they were like poker face
after they got 2nd set no block no defence etc...
anyway congratz china and korea. -
Del Core does absolutely NOTHING that justifies her being on court today
