Bartsch and Lowe need to start this 5th set. I don't think Hill was particularly bad, but they need someone to kill those balls in transition. The setting from Carli is pretty off today..

Is Goncharova still beasting? Omg were headed to a fifth set
Freaking yeah! Almost 40 points!
-
Lloyd has been very ordinary this round. Her connections with her middles has improved since the VNL but her setting choices are rather suspect.
-
Can anyone give me a stream of RUS x USA? My stream died
-
Bad reception ghost will be always over russian team
They just need one decent passer for this moments.

Great job Italy!! Keep on like this
-
ITA’s 1st 6 got at least 2 blocks each. 19 I think is the highest number of blocks so far in this edition of WCH.
-
Pankov starting Voronkova in the backrow and Parubets in front?
Even Scherban I believe can make a better impact than Malygina. OTOH, Congrats Italy!
Even Frolova could've helped more than Malygina.
-
Jordan knows how to play against Russia.. I guess all those year in Kazan are very helpful right now
-
-
Usa dont play like a champion but they definitely win like one
-
Gong Xiangyu is beyond horrible. I don't know why Lang Ping put her as a starter.
-
Voronkova serving has been Russia's best rotation
-
Larson is spiking in such a smart way in this tie-break. Always avoiding the block, finding the free spaces on the court.
Fetisova with 8 blocks!
-
Meanwhile, Fetisova just stuffed Hill with her 8th block in the 5th..
-
-
Lloyd tried so hard to lose the match, but USA prevailed.. If you have a player like Foluke in the middle you CANNOT not play with her, it is so stupid
-
So sad Russia not able to win it in the 5th.. Goncharova with 36 points I hope she doesnt get worn out
-
Out of curiosity, in the last two editions of the WCH under the current formula, the third team of each second phase pool that made it to the final six needed 13 points.

Jesus Christ, torn ACL for Milenković
Not only is the tournament over for her, the 18/19 club season almost certainly is too.
And she was playing so well...
-
Another injured player. I hope no one will get injured from now on.
About the Italy and China match, I've only seen few minutes(my connection is pretty bad) and from what I've seen their problem is the reception. Such a pity Huo Ruoqi had to retire very early because I think she's the best passer among China's OHs. Maybe they should use Zeng Chunlei more since her reception is quite good too.
