Maja not playing well IMO
2020 Olympic Games - Tokyo (Female)
-
-
That's right way Larson was aiming it
-
Reception of Serbia should be better to make a chance against USA. In this way Ognjenovic is able to involve middle blockers more, which is working well so far when Ognjenovic is able to set the middle blockers!
As for USA, reception isn't great either, but Poulter is setting pretty clean, so easy job for the pin hitters to kill the ball.
-
All USA have to worry about is to stop Boskovic, unless Maja chooses to mix up her sets, then Serbia will have a fight.
-
USA is scary good. 😱 This is their year to win gold. 😱
Jinx
-
Right now it's just too predictable from Maja for the USA, they are not struggling reading her game at all and Serbia is falling apart in set 1.
Other players have to contribute more and Tijana needs to be on fire.
-
I dont think that Brazil will have power to win this next game.
But honestly, if Brazil is gonna fall apart just like that because of one setback, then they have no business making the final match. Anyway, I'm fairly confident the girls will be able to handle their nerves.

Wong-Orantes should get that best libero award already geez

One of the things I look for in a libero is how quickly they get up off the floor. JWO just levitates
-
Mina Popovic stepping up! Finally, someone other than Boskovic for Srbija
-
Foluke getting no sets.. Reception has been good enough, yet Poulter not using the middle enough.. At least this set they have a good advantage and can try some things
-
Just as I typed that Foluke killing the ball and taking the first set for the USA
-
USA has found their smooth game again, as in the preliminary round (against China specially). Good contribution from all the players. Btw, Poulter digging Tica as she did it in CL.
I know Poulter has better setter skills than Hancock, but Micha is way more "aggresive" setter than Poulter. At least in Tokyo. Micha always tries to run her MBs.
Serbia is falling apart cuz of reception. But it is just the first set, we will see how Maja will deal with this for the next sets. There were some rallies where she could have set to Tica, but she chose to "surprise" USA block and set to MBs or pins. Pins didnt deliver, so I guess we will see Boskoball in the second set.
I know it is still super early to say this, but it would be kinda funny that in case USA gets the gold, the only team that defeated them and by a 3x0 swept, would be Russia

Did Karch have his lips removed or something?

Wong-Orantes should get that best libero award already geez
If there's one thing Karch got right - it's taking JWO to Tokyo. This women better get that Best Libero award. She's playing super solid and super consistent.

she... has full of disrespect to Korean team...
She says "it's okay, the opponent is Korea!!"
(This tweet is removed from her twitter now)
Sheilla
If her intention is conveying herself as an increasingly unlikeable person, mission accomplished.
You'd think after all this years she'd learn a thing or two about sportsmanship.
And her nerve! Today earlier in her Twitter she threatened blocking everyone who showed disrespect towards the guys from the male NT because of their big loss. No, she's just wonderful.
-
USA is starting like a machine.
-
This is the product of hard work and taking tournaments like VNL seriously, goes out to everyone saying resting 20 year olds for months right before the OG is a smart idea after a 2 year break

wow, usa might have a chance to win this
