This is so typical for German team. When the going gets tough, the tough get going and the Germans turn chicken. Lollipop serves, easy tips, weak attempts at getting blockouts instead of simply playing like before
Olympic Games - Brazil 2016 (qualification process)

TBH, that was my main impression of the match so far.
The Dutch should have the momentum at this point, but you just never know with this match.
-
Buijs and Steenbergen changed the game for Netherlands. Even Femke is playing better now.
Germany lost service and spiking contibution from MBs and Brinker.
Who loses now is probably out of the SFs already, unless Croatia surprises Turkey.
-
How does it work here? Which is more important, match points or matches won?
I dont know what to expect for tie break. Dutch players woke up in the second half of the 4th set, finally playing with heart and celebrating. While German side just turn a bit off.

OMG my nerves!!!!
-
Now Sloetjes plays like she did in ECH...
-
OMG my nerves!!!!
And mine

If this is the first match of the tournment, I dont know what we are going to watch next. It´s just a thriller
Furst could be touching maby balls in the block, but so far she isnt helping in attack.
-
It's 8-7 now for Germany, from now on it's all about dealing with nerves. Germans are more experienced when it comes to that but let's see.
-
Attackers are doing their job now. It is all in Femke's hands now. And that scaries me.
-
Furst could be touching maby balls in the block, but so far she isnt helping in attack.
Yeah but Apitz doesn't exactly make it easy for her...
-
Gosh, no matter who, the one losing this match won't be able to sleep tonight
I think this match is way more interesting than ECH final -
Hard call by the referee, but looking at it in replay I would say it really looked more like handball than like volleyball.
-
Yeah but Apitz doesn't exactly make it easy for her...
Yes, it is true. It is good idea to set her, she is reliable, but Apitz is setting in a wrong way. I dont know how many times i saw a disconnection in 5th set.

Congrats to Germany, very nice match by Beier, Brinker and Furst.
-
Yes! YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hehe I predicted the outcome right
-
As for Poland-Russia I think we will lack some power from OHs unfortunately. The only way is having perfect receptionall the time which I think we are not capable of.
