Nice changes by the coach, i feel like shimizu's opposite role will be taken by okutse in the olympics with nishida expected to recover soon
Absolutely !

Absolutely !
I will not expect them to win tomorrow against Russia. But I am hoping for a 4 to 5 sets at least. I am still rooting for Russia. But Takahashi really wins my heart ☺️
World Champions vs the European Champions!
It doesn't seem like Lisinac is suited up for this match... hope he recovers soon!
Next games are so exciting. Poland vs Serbia and USA vs Brazil.

Shimizu's movement just looks heavy to me. Is Otake not good enough to even make this 14-man list?

Omg Kovacevic is also missing today.
Omg this Peric guy is a cutie
OMG. Peric can do anything illegal to me.
Unlike clubs (like in Italy) wherein they can review all that happened.
1. The challenge system in FIVB events is much better than that in the Italian league. Floor touch is almost not able to be reviewed; the replay quality is worse; Moreover, the challenge system at FIVB events has the ball tracking system for ball positions, like the hawk-eye system in tennis. Therefore, they can show a lot of different measurements and statistics.
2. Using Net Touch challenge to review the actions and other possible faults at the net is a common practice for the teams. But the final decision at the referee's hand.
They're even particular with time like after several seconds you can no longer use the challenge. Ex. the mid-play challenge.
This is the same for all almost all volleyball events. No differences.
Coz even the commentator said they cant challenge her call.
As I said, the German team wasn't challenging her call, cuz that call (illegal attack) wasn't challengeable. Therefore, the challenge result CANNOT overrule the decision. But what they want to challenge was a possible fault at the net from the opposite side or to more clearly review what actually happened at the net in slow motion. What showed in the replay questioned the referee's decision. But she didn't acknowledge her mistake and kept the original call. The final decision is all up to the referee.

otake was included on the list per vnl website. I saw him play in their friendly games when nishida got injured, and I find him to be decent but needs to improve on his defense as well.
Guys, with all the due respect, I strongly believe that some comments regarding the physics of the players are just a bit off the charts, slightly passing the line and most of all, being way too off topic in this thread. Most of the users come here (this thread) to read about the matches, tecninal info, insights and so on. In addition, there is a special thread for sharing insights regarding how good looking the players are, I have even shared info there.
I strongly believe that in a forum, one of the the most important things is respect + empathy. As we said in Spanish: "don't do what you don't want them to do to you". I would be the first to write the same statement if I continually read comments like "what a nice ass Mingardi has", "I want to choke Lazovic", "Hande looks so tight with that jersey" and so on in the Women VNL thread. Comments which I have never read in the women thread. As a gay man, it would bother me to look for vball info in a thread which was made for it, but then just reading and reading and keep reading about how nipples look, tits and big asses.
Ps: We shouldnt forget there is also the spoiler option.
The guy who replaced Peric is also cute.

I strongly agree. I'm not being prude or anything and I do enjoy the +18 thread, but men volleyball is already basically invisible here and I'd much rather read and talk about the matches and the players. At the same time, I do acknowledge that people will just talk about whatever they want, so I just ask that whoever is willing to talk about the volleyball itself: please don't disappear.
Just tuned in to Poland x Serbia now, but why is Kovacevic not starting?
Polish setter should try to play a bit more creative. Semeniuk seems a bit tense, I hope he can get to play his usual game.
Poland started off hot on the second set. Serbia is a mess.
Kochanowski needs to lose that messy bun. 😂
It’s kind of unbelievable that I just watched the clips of his JPN national high school matches just several months ago, then now he’s able to play in senior NT at this level. He’s so calm and steady on the court and showed very matured all-around skills. This guy (kid?) is simply amazing.

I have 0 idea why but he's not in uniform today. Lisinac too, but he was injured yesterday. Not sure with Kovacevic.

The reason there's less disagreements in men's volleyball thread is because we are entertaining ourselves while it is inactive.
Waiting for the imaginary posters to come here and talk about volleyball is just a dream. They aren't coming or they aren't just knowledgeable about the players to post comments.
I honestly would prefer a more serious discussion but censoring people usually do not work in these men's volleyball threads as the truth is the people who post here more often loves the sights they see with male players and would probably cause the male threads to become more inactive if there's more restrictions to how we post here.
Anyway, I agree about the spoiler tag but sometimes in the heat of the moment it can be easily forgotten so my mistake if i made cutesy posts without realizing it.
