2019 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League

    I am honestly disappointed Japan won it in straight sets.

    The best Japan has played in the last year or two was with Kurogo-Koga-Shinnabe starting. Ishii off the bench. A couple times Kurogo didn't make it through the first set, but fine. That was last WCh.

    I think that will be a great wing triangle. Shinnabe can help cover Korugo and Koga on the back row from receiving so they can unleash on the pipe attack.

    Coach Nakata is using VNL to give Nabeya a chance to take Koga's spot. Or not :/

    Can they bring 4 OHs to Tokyo?

    I would hope so. Don't teams usually do 4-4-2-2 ? (OH-MB-S-L) Or 5-3-2-2 ?

    Kurogo is MVP of this match for me.


    in this match, it really shows the thai golden girls ages, time to call it quits( after 2020) and let the younger girls learn to be on their own. They won't step up as long as the veterans are still there.


    I thought initially with the addition of Ampron, the NT would do a lot better, but she isn't making much difference or a big difference anyway.

    -Should have kept training Jarasaporn instead of Watchareeya.

    -replace Kullapa, she is too predictable and flat footed like sitenoise mentioned a while back

    -bring in some younger OH and OP that is more capable than Wipawee

    -learn to serve stronger and better with good techniques

    -cover the floor and receive better...Japan had a jolly time receiving those easy floats and put them into good use almost every time


    at least the trend of 1 win per a week for the THA is still there lol. Next week though might not have any wins due to the oppositions. But if they are lucky, they might just beat Russia

    This is something I think people who don't watch a ton of Japanese volleyball see differently. Receiving serve doesn't hinder Japan players from killing it. I think they even prefer to execute that way. See it all the time. No matter if they go to the floor on the receive.

    yes, I was disappointed too. THA was just bad at everything today for some reason.

    I think it was only the third set. They fell apart. Yeah, they blew leads in the first two sets but they were wonderful entertaining sets for the most part.

    That MBH spike was impressive :!:

    Carlini and Bartsch are doing a great job!!!

    K Robinson is all bunned up

    She's killing it with that bun action
