2015 World Cup - Japan - 8/22

Kosheleva and Koto... so cute!

Ouch

Kosheleva

My goodness, it must be very painful for Kotoh to have the ball hit her face directly!

lets go Russia

blocks worked in some crucial points, Russia 8-7 and now 11-9, two points wide leading...

Quote from Sidney

I miss a player like Sokolova. As much as Schcherban is playing good today, she still makes some stupid mistakes...

I'm sure you didn't see Sokolova last season

Koto but also Kosheleva has been so nice and warm

Quote from crovolley

How long USA didn't lose ?...Bravo Serbia...So proud at European teams

I hope that USA will not win this World Cup because of Karch and Destinee H. He needs her !

Russia is playing good, and Kosheleva is ready

US was just beat by China in WGP this year in Hong Kong. But yes Serbia's win is marvelous.

Finally one great block by Katja Orlova

I hope Koto is alright, she and Kosheleva have been so sweet

Quote from Matthias

What a facial for Koto But she shakes it off and plays on, not like Hande Baladin in U23 final

hmm Hande got the ball on her eyes and lived a vision problem..on the other hand Koto got the ball on her cheek (if i didnt see it wrong)

Quote from Emil

Kosheleva, Gonchraova, Kosheleva and Goncharova, easy for Japan.

Koga, Kimura, Kimura, Koga... It would be easy for Russia as well. Where is Nagaoka? Uchiseto is playing opposite.

their play is like back in athens Gamova Sokolova Gamova Sokolova.........right now i feel nostalgic

Quote from Sidney

What? GP does not mean anything for them right now...World Cup means so much more...they want the gold at the Olympics. That's what they are fighting for in the last 8 years

i mean winning a tournament makes you always lose your energy and motivation..even such a professional team like Usa

Damn, how could she miss that ball?

Japan is making Russian players totally fatigued by combining spiking with tipping, smart move by less taller team.

And Koto blocked Kosheleva

Congrats to Russia, but what a fight by Japan! Thanks girls for this incredible match

My personal mvp - Scherban or Malova.
