2022 FIVB World Championship - POL/SLO

Italy looked like they were going to win this set

France was down by 3 points and then Ngapeth single handedly changed the situation.

Clevenot should stay at bench for the rest of the game..

Everytime I decide to support Italy, I regret, they simply don't like to win. I hope they prove me I'm wrong.

On the other side, France is far from convincing me, I think they are far from playing what they can, even though they are 1 set away from the semi-finals.

I also don't get why Giani doesn't substitute him out. It's frustrating.

it is not just this match, by the way. There were a lot of moments where Ben could have been used against Slovenia and Japan, and somehow he did not.

France has a super good 5th set record recently (OG vs Poland/IRC, VNL vs USA, WCH vs Japan) - guess it's a tough one tonight!

Italians are doing everything right in set 5

.....until they led 13-6....became 14-12

Luckily they recovered

Omg Giani didn't make the double sub back and have Brizard to serve (well he didn't serve that well recently but still....)?

Obviously Lavia destroyed Toniutti's block

Thanks Italy for sending the disgusting NG back home.

Can I blame Giani for France's flop in WCH ? or i am being too harsh on him again. Definitely questionable choices and plan about the setter.
