Men's World Championship 2018

    Did Sperraw just said that Max(im) can’t pass a ball?:)

    Grankin using the bic when Muserskiy has no blockers :wall:

    I think the Russian coach had a mistake, they need to replace Kliuka and not Volkov to stabilize the reception

    Micah is coming for that best setter award. That broken play is gold!

    Agree now that Maxim is passing...

    OMG Leonardo, that's orrible!

    Yes. When I was watching the match, I thought it was a mistake by a ballkid. At least thats what I understood from the Rai commentators.

    However, if you check the replay, Renan threw the ball in on purpose during that long rally.

    Bernandinho could be a special "character", but he would have never done something like that :down:

    After what some players did in the first round, mixing politics with sport, and now this, it is quite hard rooting for them. Even though there are players I like a lot ;(

    Kliuka is the better receiver according to the statistics provided by FIVB. I'm not sure how accurate is that.

    Sander’s efficiency is quite high. I believe he has not been blocked in the 1st 2 sets.

    He got blocked once or twice, I think.

    I really like the McDonnell-Smith switch at the start. David Smith is obviously a better MB but McDonnell is a better server.

    I'm not sure as well so don't take my word.

    Wow RUS is giving this match to USA. Didn’t expect RUS game to go down like this in the final round.

    Volvich must be the luckiest volleyball player in the world: he has no skills, but he's always part of the NT just because of his eight... Today he scored once and accidentally. :lol:
