Thailand doing to Russia almost what they did to Turkey in 2017 WGP. Thai dedication really is admirable

A very meaningful win by the Chinese team over the Turkish one. And what a sweet repay(!) by CHN over all the kindness received from TUR throughout the VNL from prelim to the F6, not to mention the minor one in the Swiss Classic. The ZhuYuanZhang team backs into the action. From TUR team the youngster Karakurt is the most notable, moreover she's still so young. Nonetheless both teams will proceed to the next round, this is simply a match of confidence, a match of prestige. No more and no less.
No they didn't play against each other in Final 6.

No. This could be very important because the points earned in this group against the teams that progress are carried over to the next group.

Actually it was a close match besides of set 1. The number of mistakes made the only difference.
Simge and especially Eda were really bad today. But we can see that Ebrar is on fire and this is due to Lang Pings who didn‘t work on Ebrar and the Chinese girls couldn‘t defend her at all. I really wanted to see more sets no matter with the outcome.

In addition to the schedule: I just figured out that Italy almost plays every match first in the group : 6:40 CET, I guess) and China plays ALL matches last (12:20 CET), I am used to this that the host gets the latest time spot but this schedule in this group is very unfair.

Japan is executing. They just need to gather the guts to close a set.

Don't balme Turkey for their mistakes. Serving aggressively is their only chance, which got paid enough by making China's reception miserable, but their blocking and wing spikes wasn't strong enough to win the game.

I guess it has something to do with television broadcasting because 12:20 CET is prime time in China.

Okay thanks but actually it is still unfair due to time difference for example for Italy 12:20 CET is also prime time than 6:40 CET

Russia fights back for a tb!

Credit to Russia, they have started to play better and have turned it around. Maybe they just needed more time to adjust to Thailand's style.
Still, Thailand are obviously a good team and this match could go either way.

I don't understand. China isn't the host, Japan is

Japan lost sets 1 and 3 in overtime. If they can conquer that weakness they will be fine. They are receiving well, digging well, and covering the block. That's Japan. They would have taken set 3 if Nakada hadn't substituted Uchiseto for Kurogo at one point.

Isn't there a better libero in all of Russia?
-

So many long rallies in JPN-NED match. Look a bit exhausting
Japan is playing very well so far.

It looks like Onuma is standing while attacking. She doesn't even jump.
