Well, that is her 2018 self I think I'd also like to see Hill in there now.
I would like to see an opposite, a libero and Robinson as OH.

no need to panic. usa is not the type of team that will lose from 2-0. usa in 4.
Robinson as LIBERO just pisses me off tbh... She really is not that bad of an attacking OH for that. USA really does not have any better libs? Also Larson and Hill fail at times and I believe Robinson could do great coming in as OH but we have to watch her as libero
China needs a better OH than Liu XT imo. Hui RQ is deeply missed
Liu is capable of serving bombs. She's still important to China. I think international experience outside of the chinese league would help her gwt over the hump she's presently facing.
Hill is already useless with a so so setting. She can kill just perfect sets.
At least there's Bartsch there, killing the ball and playing her heart out.
Ding Xia and Li Ying-ying helped China win Set 3.
One major difference in set 3 was serving. In the first 2, USA was serving much better than CHN and in set 3 it was vice versa. And the other factor was that CHN attacked much better with Ding Xia as setter.
Unbelievable: Murphy killed a ball with no block in front of her. Am I dreaming?
Carli's sets to Murphy are tragic most of the time, there's really not much she can do with them.

I dunno. USA seems kind of choke-y to me. USA in 4, China in 5.

That's normal for a normally great receiving team like USA.
I love Bartsch, tbh I did not expect THIS much from her pre NT season, I was focusing more on Hill, Larson Robinson but offense wise at least Bartsch surpassed them by miles
Is it just me or Foluke can't attack anywhere near what she used to?
Where is Rachael ADAMS! She is much better then Dixon afaik
I agree with the announcer, Hill's "serve me" confidence is lovely

She's had a few ill-timed swings, but I think she's fine. Maybe still living in Japan a little
Guys I think you are over responding to one or two Turkish critics here, if we won the WCH gold and the Olympics after someone will still criticize us, it's the way it is, you know that. I think on top of that, one or two are busting a gut in frustration in not being able to throw around political stuff in a sports forum. I am loving reading the negative comments personally So proud of the girls.
We just beat a 6-0 Brasil, dominated 3-0 and playing for gold tomorrow, happy days. And i think we can win the gold That is all the answer they need, beyond that is pointless, wasting time.
Also btw we should have beaten US first game, probably the worst 3 sets we have played in VNL to lose that game. US had to come back from 2 sets down TWICE now. But that's by the by, Girls are over it and in the final, new steel in this team, I think we finally have a team that can get over the mental barrier of not knowing how to win a big 'un or being satisfied being 2nd. I am fine what ever the result though, we won massively from this tournament.
I can think of a dozen young players off my head that is available and even more experienced players, absolutely right Guiddetti's main problem will be choosing from so much talent. I want so many players that really need to be brought in apart from this current team! but only 6 can play it's a sweet head ache. I think this team will change substantially over the next few years for the better, this isn't even our best line up. I trust in the Guiddetti.
Enjoy!
I think China is missing a lot of things. First of all, I agree on what I read today, they are sooo similar to Russia when they played with Koshe and Goncha in the same time. Having both Zhu and Li on the court at the same time is ruining their defense, besides Gong is not helping in defense either, so it is only a miracle when they dig a ball (a bit of exaggeration here!). The thing is, Russia did not harm from this system because they had an amazing libero who was digging a lot and was very active in backcourt, Chinese liberos are a mess, I don't know how many times they watched balls falling from meters
I also did not like the Chinese middles in this tournament. They are neither convincing in blocking nor in attacking they kill crucial balls. Therefore it feels like they rely so much on Zhu and Li to finish a rally.
Good game by US! It was a fair decision to bring Hill instead of Larson and they are extremely dangerous from the serve line. Lets see how much Turkish girls will be able to harm their receiving line tomorow
That was a Thailand level combination USA just ran
Yehey! LYY showed that she can be the next thing!
I don't believe Yang Fang-xu will participate in WCH 2018.
