2018 FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League

  • I disagree, they have been enough so far. I think the problem is Roberta


    The problem is enough is not good enoigh. Thaisa at her best is Brazil best middle blocker. The other girls won't reach that. You see Eda is killing Brazil because Brazil does not have a world class middle blocker anymore. Zehra is a great prospect as well.

  • :super:


    I think the reason for the success of these bunch of youngsters is their joy in the field. They simply enjoy playing this game, it seems like a good friendship going on in the team. I know most people find their screams annoying but it is what it is, so far it works. 2-0 against another great team :super:


    I love the joy! I don't find Turkey obnoxious at all, TragicHairdo notwithstanding. I don't like her, haven't seen enough skill behind her emotion.

  • I'm siding with the "Roberta is the problem" point of view, but reception hasn't been stellar. She's improved through the match but so has all of Turkey

    Not true, both Ade and Bia have been most consistent MBs of VNL, in both group stage and final round. If you are talking about Thaisa's performance 3-4 years ago yes she is way better than this two but recent Thaisa is not better than either of them. Besides after the injury god know if she will ever reach at that level again. :whistle: Even Carol has more to offer to this team currently

  • This is kind of amazing to watch.

    It's tragic really. The reception is so bad that I am surprised Brazil is still outscoring them in spikes. Gabi is having a great game than her recent games in my opinion which is keeping Brazil in the game.

    For China vs brazil, Langping turns the match to training match again. It is great choice to train young players in this match. The ball distribution is totally different from the one vs netherlands and she did not free zhuting's reception when the important moment came. And she gives lots of chance to different young players.


    Shut up, please. Looking for excuses everytime you lose, what a sore loser. Bye.

  • If only Carol is a few inches taller, she would have been a perfect blocking and scoring machine. ;(

  • Here's what I don't get about blabbermouth coaches: "Don't hit the ball into the blockers". Do they really need to be told that?

  • If only Carol is a few inches taller, she would have been a perfect blocking and scoring machine. ;(


    She is still great at blocking but at attacking she is bad for this level


    TUR is making soo many serving errors. Of course they are forcing Brasil with their serving weapon but they should reduce the errors.


    Again BRA defense is a mess

  • Eda is killing Brazil. Her slide is so well done. Why is it effective? Because the outside and the middle blockers are too short for this level. ;(

  • Aylin Sarıoğlu is always ruining this team whenever she is in the game :hit: Terrible 'serve specialist' :cursing:

  • That was a great timeout with Gui. I give him that :D

  • It would be nice to see Turkey in the final.


    Is this their first ever world level final?

  • I'm so proud of Turkey...what a win against Brazil's B team...Guidetti is terrific....I never expected turkey would achieve any success this early on... Now I get why the dutch was so hurt when he left.


    Brazil will still be one of the teams to beat when Natalia,Drussyla,Dani Lins, Thaisa and maybe Fe Garay, Brait comes back....
