It seems that Tandara is out due to an abdominal trauma
Oh no
We need a proper Opp, not Paula again

hate Mari? for what? It's volleyball, sport and everything is possible on court. Mari was probably much more upset than Brazilian fans. I never blame Gamova or the rest of players who were on court.
my case was different, I was a child and naive, that's why I was overwhelmed by that result. I am now growing up or getting older lol and that's why I can easily bury my feelings.
Brazilian, in general, praise only for wins, it does not matter if one player shines the way that Mari did. If she made a mistake, even if it is not her fault, it does not matter. Brazilian Women's Volleyball was synonym of total losers back in that time (even now, when things doesn't happen the way Brazilian think they should, they will go back again to full hate-mode. Not all Brazilian, to be clear (i'm Brazilian btw), but the majority, for sure, think that way, specially the ones who only watch Olympics and other big tournaments.

but as far as i'm concern, paula is the closest to "decent" opp in brazil roster right now. unless drussyla comes back and play OH with Gabi and they push Natalia to the Opp position.

i have seen this a lot. so many Nt palyers were the victims of scrutiny when the team lost. I can't imagine what Mari went through last time and thank God there were no social medias back then.

I'd like to console you in your time of no Tandara but Paula's been pretty beastly this tournament in my eyes.

well, BRA women had to deal with the blockade fromthe CUB generation of the 90's... yeah, that match against RUS in 2004 was pretty traumatic, but don't forget the (semi?) in 2000, BRA was leading and then they got stuck at 16 or whatever the score was, they couldn't score another single point and let the CUB win... that was also very traumatic. that's how rezende lost all his hair, in that one day.

not really... she's been somewhat inconsistent. and she is not as powerful or fast as other top OPP.
i guess lorenne keeps her spot then?

That commentator is a multi-sport guy who does some work for the BBC and I think his main interests are basketball and boxing. But he also does tennis, where the term “unreturnable serve” is used more commonly, usually to mean a serve that isn’t a clean ace but one that the opponent can’t get back into court. Him probably being more familiar with tennis than volleyball is likely why he keeps using this phrase.
Though, that’s no excuse for how much he overuses it.
What happend with older Belgium players ? Van Hecke, Heyrman, Freya ??
With this 3 back, Belgium would be very good team

I think we discussed about this some time ago, and someone said that they dont want to play under Vande Broek wings. The same case is with Rousseaux. But I agree, Belgium could be way better especially with stronger middles.

Van Hecke last year skiped NT, but she is going to get married, so she probaply quite with NT. I think middle blockers is the least important position for
Belgium. I expect Heyrman and Aelbrecht to be back in NT.
Argentina defeated Chinese Taipei 3-0. In the other hand, Croatia beat host Peru in 4 sets (last one 31-29). I expected a 3x0 by Fabris & co.
Tomorrow it will be a replay of the Golden League final Let's see if Santarelli could take revenge.

I believe for Santarelli is very hard. He wants fast game with a lot of attacks with MB.
Yes Beta got 18 sets, but She scored only 2 points. That is how much, 18% in attack for MB
