2022 FIVB Women's World Championships - Netherlands and Poland

    One thing that Karch does so well along with the other staff members is creating a whole system where all the players are involved in the best way possible. That's why even though some of them don't necessarily have the best club seasons, when they come into the NT they practically start playing like machines. Congrats to them! Still the favourites.

    I really, really hope that playing Brankica this much is just last desperate attempt to see whether there is any chance of getting some of old Brankica back, before finally firmly planting her on bench to be used sporadically because we've basically got the VNL Lozo back, with no reduction in quality, plus the improved Busa.


    Now, if only the middles could get a grip of themselves, and start doing their job, Serbia will look like a truly formidable team for the first time in 3 years.

    Ah, just forgot to comment earlier because I was reading the replies from yesterday. But who'd have said that Busa is actually the best player in Serbian side so far in this competition? Very solid matches in this beginning.

    De La Cruz stabilised DOM´s game..
