2020 Olympic Games - Tokyo (Female)

  • Folie already 4points, really nice impact for short period in second set :box:


    Egonu is still little bit off…

  • The funniest thing of the weird tacticts by Mazzanti is the MB defending in 6 after they serve and then running up as if they're going to hit a pipe. I want to see at least one pipe from them :rolll:

    Do you know who Dana Rettke is? (204cm MB-USA)


    She's run a pipe or two for USA/her college team (mostly accidentally) :lol::lol:

  • What a set from Bosetti, literally half of setters couldn’t do that :lol::lol::lol::super:


    Bosetti has been setting many balls like that. In this last rally, she also set two balls in an almost perfect way.

    Love all around players like her (Larson for example). Pure vball skills.

    In the other hand, I still think Lucia > Caterina in just defense. But Caterina is slowly slowly reaching that level.

    In defence yes but in attack you can’t even compare this two. I just love Cate, She is so smart player.

  • Italy with 12 block points in only 2 sets :white:

    Poor Argentina, Mayer is really trying her best in order to involve all her spikers and fool Italian MBs, but her sets lack of accuracy. She should try to set more to Lazcano, but the recepction doesnt help.

    Egonu is still off, sure. Way too many errors. But what surprises me is that when it matters the most (20+ points), she just turns into a machine: her effiency is above 80% in the last points of each set.

  • any Italian fans here? I wanna know how you think about Malinov and Orro….


    I think Orro always plays better than Malinov. Why she has so less playing time on court?

  • I wanna know how you think about Malinov

    Well...

    Orro is clearly a better player, she doesn't play due to less experience and fixation on playing faster than Italy can and should. IMHO she was kinda unlucky that Italy didn't play in VNL, basically she didn't have any chance to win her spot on a court since 2019. And then the result is that Malinov is changed in a middle of a 1st set against Argentina, give me a break.

    I honestly don't think Orro would have gotten any more chance even after playing the VNL, even Cambi always had a lot more playing time than her when she was the backup. I just think Mazzanti isn't too fond of her for whatever reason and he sees something in Malinov (no idea what that is)
