  • I think China will fare better against USA in the semi-final. Not to underestimate the american girls but they are not that young and they have shown tendencies to squander such a big lead. Turkish team is very defensive and it helps they are young and full of energy. It could be more difficult to win against them than the USA because of those traits of their team.

  • Clearly you don't know how to follow a logic It is not that Turkey has beaten USA and then lost to ARG. They won against many strong teams and the ones they lost were all with small margins.

    Seriously, If the Serbian team was playing as they should, do you really think the Turkish team would be in the SF? :rolleyes:

    Just to show you how logic works (because it seems like you have 0 maturity when it comes to logic): "Seriously, If the Dominican Republic team was playing as they should, do you really think the US team would be in the SF? :rolleyes:"


    So many silly assumptions unfortunately which lead to nothing :hit: :aww:

  • Turkey is in the semi finals and people still dare to hate on them :rolll: :rolll: There is no similarity between Turkey beating Serbia and USA earlier vs a Germany which won a match on first round. This is also final round, Turkey plays 2 tiebreaks with the world best teams and wins one of them. I mean COME ON stop the bs now. This is flat out disrespectful toward the girls hard work.

    Yeah...it's all hate and disrespectfulness. What a nonesense. :rolleyes: now get lost, drama seeker.

  • I really don't get this MB criticisms to Roberta. It's the same for every setters. She is trying to play fast to beat the blockers. China have big blockers at left side. The slide should be not that effective against China.


    People should take reference with Japan vs China in the quarterfinal of London Olympics. Takeshita barely went to her MBs and it worked. This is how you defeat taller teams. I imagine most teams have copied this style. You can't think and let the muscle memory take you. It's like shooting 3s. Let the instinct take over til you find the comfort to go wherever you want.

    What do you mean by what they should? That's what they all CAN. Without mihajlovic, what else did you expect from them? Should Boskovic have gotten more sets than 83? Should Malesevic and Blagojevic suddenly turn in to scoring machines? Zivkovic play like Maja? That's not Serbia, they heavily rely on two killer attackers and when one is not there the team is not that strong anymore.


    Only thing that 'should have' is MBs scoring contribution. On the other hand, I can also say Turkish team should have served the way they served before, so it would have been an easier win but it doesn't work like that, right? Also don't forget that Turkey played 3-2 when Mihajlovic there as well ;)

    LMAO, it's so funny when this is coming from a master of assumptions. What a retarded. Go learn what maturity means first.

    Do you agree the Serbian players were playing like college girls? Say YES or No. If the Serbian players didn't have the "whatever" attitude and the their setter was not lazy (Set too much to Boskovic), do you really think the Turkish team would be in the SF?

    No. They did not play like college girls. They played like how they are capable of. And there is no place for 'if clause' in sports ;)
