2019 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League

    Hope she knows that knee pads help protect your knees on floor defense.

    She generally can't be bothered to do any floor defense anyway that's why she doesn't need any knee pads😂

    If this goes to a tie-break, Gabi could pass the 30 points! :teach:


    I am so sorry for Lorenne, I know she has not had so many opportunities (in NT or club), but I think she is not NT material. The few times she has been in (also in Osasco), she hasnt shown anything special.

    uh... did I really just watch Brazil beat an 8-1 USA at home? In Nebraska? I...


    Once again, I can't wait to watch Gabi in Turkish league.

    Gabi will make Vakifbank's supporters forget about Zhu muahaha

    Four of the top 5 ranking teams will play in China next week. Interesting pool.

    China doesn't really count from a competitive standpoint because they're hosts of the final six. You never know what Lang Ping will do, maybe put some of the B-team members who went to Brazil back in play.

    Quote from Padar

    But China may not send their A team, so, it's hard to tell.

    China will take the HK-Zhuhai-Macau bridge from Hong Kong to Jiangmen. It's only 115km away. Don't think they will change the roster.

    I have never seen coach Kiraly so angry, he was screaming at players, definitely no good vibes from there. :whistle:


    On the other hand, Brazil played his best match defensively, Gabi is doing great, is truly amazing to see the player she is turnin out to be, leading this team in the absence of Natalia and Tandara. Plus, after bad perfomances, Macris played good today. Big win for Brazil, this girls needs a boost of confidence.

    Poland as the best challenger team is surprising! I really didnt expect they will be ranked so high.

    It is good to know that slowly slowly, they are coming back to the international stage, after missing 2 WCHs in a row. I do hope they qualify to the last round. I know it is quite difficult because they are still an unstable team, but let's see.

    Will Wolosz come back for the last week?

    It is a bummer that turkey will play with the top teams in last two weeks when their best players are in the roster while they played Serbia in first week again with their best players:whistle: If they deserve to play in the final second time in a row, they have to beat all the top teams anyway. So let's see how many points they will get next 2 weeks:whistle:
