  • This is the defining moment of set 5 Iran-Brazil where the violation clearly was against Brazil but Referee pissed Marouf and caused that drama afterwards.

    Once again, the challenge system adopted by FIVB should include overreach above the net. The system of Italian Superlega already allows for this type of challenge. Why is FIVB so cheap?

    Part of the reasoning is if the ball passes over it should be viewable by the up referee. Let alone, is this a Hawkeye usable play as the ball is still moving in the air?

  • Volkov's energy and passion are contagious. He plays every point like it is match point. This young Russian team is super fun to watch, is time for the Russian women to break the ice and start playing like them.

    Leal with all that talking for years ...he gets his chance and then :gone:.... hopefully Leon won't do the same.

    Leal is not surprising for his somewhat disappointing performance. His reception is clearly a hole as shown in his Superlega matches. Brazil is a team with very good ball control. Leal's arrival strengthens the offense but weakens the aspects of reception and defense. The net gain brought by him is not a lot.


    Leon, on the contrary, is on a different level. His attack is superior to Leal and all Polish attackers, and totally overshadows his flaws in reception.

    There’re many overreaching controversial calls in this VNL. It clearly states the problem. The speed is too fast for the first referees to follow.


    This wouldn’t be done by Hawk Eye. This would be done by video replay instead, just like video replay is used for checking block touch, net touch and floor touch calls. If you have a chance to watch Superlega, you can see how clear it is in video replays whether a player touches the ball at the completely opposite side of the court.
