If I'm China, I'm a little worried now
They should...I haven't seen them played this bad with Zhu TIng on court...and the Americans gave them 7 errors in the first set. Players like Zhang Changning is still bad at receiving and Gong was very erratic in their last couple of games.

Maybe China spent too much time in the weight room buffing up and not enough ball practice
USA does a great job at blocking zhuting! Good Job!!
Zhuting gets 12 points from 34 spikes only 35% spike successful rate and she is blocked lots of times~~~
I have never seen this kind of bad stats of zhuting this year. Fortunatelly, It does not happen in the final~~
Last year she had even worse performance against Russian NT in WCH (8/25)
It was a very tough pool, the POL, TUR, CHN, USA one and the level of the tournament is not like week 1, it is very high now. All teams had a flop day and all had an amazing day. I think Final 6 will be only thing that truly counts now as 3/4 of these teams have surely qualified for it and 4/4 is not unthinkable either.
Zhang Changning
I hate to see a match like this where she implodes because generally she gives me goosebumps
anyone has CHN v. U.S link for replay

That was irrelevant for China since they were in the final 6 already. I still don't get why the coach let her play.
Some people are so sensitive to word “useless” but there isn’t any other word to describe Gozde Yilmaz.
She just saved the match against Poland with attack ratio of 65%. Seems like she is not as useless as your comments
Carli is a great blocker, but a bad defender. She doesn't cover tips, and many times she's in the wrong position in defense
I think Lloyd is one of the best blocking setter right now. Also she has a good floor defense

Do you know why she got taken off? I started watching from set 3 and her stats (8/14) were good
Do you guys give Russia a chance against Italy, without Egonu, tonight? I am not sure what to think myself.

I will bet on italy win by 3:2~~ but do not gamble on unimportant matches~~no one is sure about the result~~
Looks like I missed the info but where is Brenda Castillo? Really missed watching her 
Looks like Japan and Poland will duke it out for last spot next week.

She recently had a baby so she isn’t ready to play yet. I have not heard anything about when we can expect her back, though there were some rumours she would play for an Italian club next season.
Anyone have a link for Japan/Thailand match...also the US/China...The Blues won the cup yesterday and I need a good pick me up.😐

I wish she has choosen a team to play regularly in the league. She really can be a good back up player instead of Meryem(31 years old) in NT but she never plays in club season. And she will sit on Vakifbank bench again this year
She can easily find a team to play as starter in the league but she choose Vakifbank that have Ebrar and Haak

That's why I don't want to see her in NT either, even if she was topscorer for 4 matches in a row (which she won't ever) because 1 it gives of a terrible message to youngsters and 2 she will never be a game-changer in key matches (OG, WCH, ECH) because she will never reach her full potential, and indeed we need a good Opp back-up now that Meryem is clearly aging but its not her imo and she is not a youngster either anymore, why not go to one of the mid-tier teams... She played well today ok, we can all give her that.

China was having reception issues and she contributed to them a bit. "Implode" isn't fair to say. Lang Ping may have just wanted to switch things up. Yuan came in the same time with Liu. It was one of those situations where the other team is playing so well it exaggerates the less than stellar of the other team.
