Olympic Games - Brazil 2016 (qualification process)

  • Egonu reminds me of Hooker a little but seems Egonu is stronger than her or Egonu prefers to play with her strength more than Hooker

    We don't know Paola Egonu's mind but it is quite possible she will be better than Hooker for that

  • I'm feeling sorry for Germany (and even Brinker) right now. They are out while a (poor) team among Italy, Belgium and Poland will go on.


    Still waiting for Skowronska's leadership.

    This morning I was thinking the same, but now I'm really enjoying this Italy, so after all I think their qualification would be deserved.

  • Egonu has some incredible potential. It would be great to have her play her first Olympics now, rather than in 4 years, even with the zero expectations of this Italian NT.

    0 expectations ... Yesterday you found Italy "pathetic". Well if the team goes to Rio, things will improve more and more and you will be the first to say " I told you"

  • Come on, Germany should have won against Turkey if they were good of a team. I don't like Italy that much either, but I don't see such a poor team.

    Obvious that it is impossible to forget that Germany team totally collapses in 3rd and 4th set against a good but non unstoppable Turkish side.

  • Skowronska probably ending her career in the NT in the bench...sad


    I wonder why they keep calling her back to NT for every big or important tournament, since she's has been an epic disappointment in white-red jearsey from the moment she changed position from MB to OP.


    Skowronska out -> Poland back into the match. :whistle:

  • The idea of putting Club Italia in the Serie A is just brilliant.. maybe the TVF should do the same, many talented young Turkish players are wasting their time on the benches.

  • ufff ! What a serve on the set ball :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

  • 0-2 down, it means Poland is already out of contention, right?


    Egonu is just rocking in this match. She could have been more effective if she tips so many balls, instead of trying to dig a hole one the court. But she still has so much time to learn this.


    Danesi is playing just fearless.

  • The idea of putting Club Italia in the Serie A is just brilliant.. maybe the TVF should do the same, many talented young Turkish players are wasting their time on the benches.


    More exactly it's the idea to put players of Club Italia in Italia A this summer which was brilliant.

  • Egonu secon time won a crucial set with her ace....she together with Werblinska have been best jump servers in this tournament ..Neslihan's serves are also good but she makes many serve errors.


    now Poland will play for Belgium...

  • Let's be honest, of all Italian teams that qualified to the games, this is by far the weakest one.

    Who can guess the potential of this team ? "Honestly" nobody.
    But the qualification is still far. So ...
