I know Japan are quite strong maybe much stronger than Turkey. But Egonu had height. She should have hit smarter than that.

I sort of fear Italy #17 more than Egonu
-
I remember liking Italy libero last year. Is this the same one. That was some hustle play
Yes, it’s the same one. Monica De Gennaro is probably Europe’s best libero.
-
Nootsara connection to middles are off. Its contrast to what I have known that she is one of the best setters to utilize middle.

DR could be a better team than some think ..they mainly need to handle passing

How can you make a correlation between height and being smart? And it is indeed not about intelligence, it is just lack of good fundamental techniques. Since she is very athletic, she never had the pressure to work on her technique in junior level but clearly it doesn't work well against good defender teams. This was her first match with the team this summer, she will for sure improve in upcoming matches

I don’t really consider Egonu that athletic. at least not like that youngster on Belgium. I don’t see it on defense or backcourt attacking.
-
Pena is taking over Rivera's role in the team..Martinez for De La Cruz's role
-
This is the first time I've ever seen Kurogo sweat
-
Hattaya is quick. She doesnt jump high but she blocks well.
-
Holy cow. Kurogo is hitting some smart shots. You go girl
-
Tie-Break! What a set point. Good rallies in this game.
-
Malinov is the MVP for Japan.
-
defense is the trademark of Japanese volley..invaluable and indispensable element of their game..Kurogo is playing well..Sylla seems less error-proned than Egonu..she fits this team
-
Italy is an error machine
-
Kotoe seems to have recovered from whatever was ailing her. Great to see her back. She's killing it with her digs!
-
And there you go! Jap won!
-
OMG the stream just died at 14-11 for me
-
Japan's defense was so damn good today,congrats!

She's not athletic in defence, but few can match her explosive jumping and power.
