i think this kind of atmosphere will be great for russia to tomorrow. In brazil will be much louder than this

Has anyone link to Thailand-Brasil match?
YT doesn't work for me -
-
Brazil is only leading because of their physical superiority, they're not playing well.
What the hell is up with Sheilla's serving? It looks totally out of rhythm, she's foot-faulting way too often, like an amateur
-
Can't decide if the noise at the stadium is amazing or annoying... Sometime it sounds like a bunch of screaming teenagers at a concert of their idol
-
-
Thais are doing a good job I think, but the problem is that they can't simply stop the Brazilian MBs. I'd be so damn happy to have Thaisa Menezes as my teammate if I were a setter.
-
Is Banwarth injured?
Yes, she has a little concussion, thats why she wasn't playing in a while.
-
Tandara did not play because she has some muscle tension. And Gabi played as back OP.
-
Just watched Thailand x Brazil. I know the consensus here is that Tandara isn't in good enough shape, but if Sheilla continues to play this way I believe the former may be the superior starter. Sheilla is practically the placebo effect of opposites right now. Though neither Thaisa nor Fabiana are at their best now, I anticipate they'll be perfect by the time Rio rolls around.
Dani is looking great, and I like Roberta just fine, even though I think Naiane is the future.
As for the OH, the team looks quite steady to me-- any of the four could be starters. Fe Garay is a player with acute hills and valleys, but overall she's very important.
And Thailand, well, I'm still heartbroken we won't see them at the Olympics. Right now they have such a beautiful composition of young talents and experienced masters. Great to see Onuma back. Pornpun is no Nootsara - yet - but she's phenomenal all the same, and I love to watch her play.
Ajcharaporn is brilliant for such a young player. Great vision on the court, and solid as can be. Any news on where she's playing next year?

dutch ladies seem to have problem concentrating at times lol. 1st set point is the perfect example. that's the most frustrating part of their game to watch.
the only enjoyable part is sloetjes's scoring so far. boy, she's on fire. -
Malykh is in Russia's roster instead of Kosheleva.

Netherlands

Great tie-break by the Dutchies
Schoot discovered the Castillo in her and Dijkema ran the counterattack very well. Buijs played a lot better than yesterday.So CHN-USA will decide the semifinalists from this group. USA is already through because even if they lose 0:3 they have one point more than NED. If China wins, they're through, if they lose NED is through.
-
sloetjes scored 31 points. pure dominance. spike 25/60-41.6%, not great but still higher than buijs and maret despite the volume, and the fault rate is even lower.
-
Netherlands A almost lost to China B..
-
Malykh starts as OH in Kosheleva's position. I guess it means Russia will receive with 2 players all the time, hard work for Scherban and Malova.
-
Malykh and Goncharova in starting six in Russia
-
I thought Malyhk was already out

I thought Malyhk was already out
She returned because of Kosheleva's injury.
