but blagojevic,
-
USA will win tonight! 🤞🏻🙏🏻
Called it!
CONGRATS USA!!
Sorry, there is just no way Serbia could have defeated USA in this game. Volleyball is a team sport/effort but it is evident that Serbia is heavily relying on only Boskovic, and that doesn't just simply work with USA. USA is a technical team so all they have to work out is to stop Boskovic, and that's all. I just checked the game stats and 66% of Maja's sets (including the libero for OoS plays) had gone to Boskovic - that could have worked against other teams, but not USA.
-
She can still blame a Russia male NT member (justice for kicking out Brazil lol)
Blaming one of them can't get them disqualified, so why not blame multiple of them, what the hell, why not all of them?
-
When I expect Rasic to play well but she’s the one who did not deliver. Nnnn
-
Great job USA, fast and clinical
Yes, clinical. I like that observation
-
Indeed volleyball is a team sport and I love to see it
-
We need Korea to win for a 2nd Asian OG winner in a row
-
And once again Poulter outplaying Maja. But credit to USA's reception though
-
Now we have a few answers to the questions we've been debating in this forum:
- Skipping the VNL was a super dumb mistake. South Korea, Brazil and the USA participated in VNL with their best roster, and now two of them will play the final of the OG.
- The hegemony of Asian and American teams over African, European and Oceania ones will last for at least 34 years.
I'm all for teams taking the VNL more seriously.
Quote- In general, in a collective sport such as volleyball, good teams have an advantage over teams that rely on one phenomenal player.
2015, 2016, 2018 were different. 2014 and 2021 would support your statement. I think it's even split and depends on the players, the team, the form, etc.

Bosko: Sis... I'm so tired... I have to hit every single ball
KYK: Oh girl... at least you don't have to defense
-
Congrats to USA
*Don't know about the others but for Serbia not playing the VNL wasn't an issue at all.

please
I'll listen to k-pop for the rest of the year, even that newfangled stuff from post-2017...

Congrats, USA! Great team performance! I agree with who says the level of the competition is not the best one, but I think it could be way better if teams didn’t skip VNL after so much time without any official competition. USA, Brazil and Korea have nothing to do with it and are making their way to one more Olympic medal.
Between those 3 teams, Italy, Serbia and China, that everyone considered to be the favorites before the competition, I’m still really disappointed with China. Ok, everyone knows Zhu is their captain and main player, but, for me, they have an incredible team, they’re not only Zhu, so I hope they can find their rhythm back again. -

Sis the new ones are bops as well trust me. AESPA really slaying f.e. or Everglow (Yiren is Chinese as well)
-
If there's one thing this Olympic cycle is pointing out - it's that volleyball is a team sport. All other teams who have clearly built a team around their ace players (China, Serbia, Italy) are falling against well balanced teams like USA, Brazil and Turkey (sadly Turkey choked) . Looking forward to a redo of 2008 and 2012 finals in USA vs Brazil. (A lot of hopefuls for Korea, but let's be real here, Brazil is the better team through and through)
-
Manifesting a Korean win.
Volleyball god help us.
