I think Milenkovic is out for the tournament. Sad for her since she did well. Serbia should be making the final without her though.
Russia is missing Krotkova more...

so sorry for Milenkovic!
Anyway, today it's a pity all the most interesting matches are at the same time... but I can't really complain, I finally won't miss the beginning of the Italian match
-
What a boring first round world championship compared to the men's volleyball last month.
I hope the second round doesn't disappoint. I already lowballed on my expectations for the first round but it's still very low in quality.
P.S. Sorry to Milenkovic as well.
-
Cameroon throwing away its chances of qualification to the second round, down 0-2 against Argentina, must win.
-
Turkey lost a set to Cuba, but dominated the first two and seems to be in control of the 4th

Why is Petrini wearing libero jersey?
-
USA trailing 10-4 in the first. They need to get it together real quick
-
USA can't get past Russia's block.. I think Carli is playing quite predictable. No pipes, no second line sets.. she's just setting 'super fast' balls to the wings, but Russia always has 2 blockers up
-
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Hancock is playing much better with this team than Carli.
-
Why is Petrini wearing libero jersey?
Core muscular problems. She will probably be ok for the second phase.
After all I didn't watch the match from the beginning (I switched on at 16-13 for China), but China won the first set quite easily 20-25.
I'll say more for China credits than Italian demerits, except for 2 a bit silly mistakes by us.
Crossing my fingers for the next set

Russia x USA, link?

I don't why Malinov is not using more Sylla and less Egonu. Sylla % is very high and Egonu is not scoring so much for now from attack.
-
JPN takes set 1 over GER. Both teams seem to able to score at will if the ball is in system. Germany had more reception/service problems.

Damn! If you are not watching CHNvsITA you are missing an epic match. The quality is finals-material. Booming spikes, impossible digs, long rallies etc.
-
USA has found the chink in the Russian armor.. Voronkova can't pass to save her life
-
4 points in a row by Danesi, 2 first tempo and 2 block kills

And those blocks!
Italy is gaining momentum at set 2 end
