isn't that pretty normal for smaller vb countries? there's more money in the pro leagues and nobody wants to get injured
yes
but its different when its because of staff

One thing though on Hande, Saliha and Simge's performances, we forget that our expectations in the league is for them to beat VB and consistently beat FB. VB is like almost an All-Star team of NTs, being unable to beat them isn't equal to being bad.
Don't get me wrong, clearly they still play a lot better for the national team vs. club, the support of the Turkish public is the reason for that probably. But yea just a reminder VB could probably beat most NTs as well.

Chirichella 17% in attack

Good point indeed. Considering the level of Turkish league, the club matches are mostly tougher than most of the international games

I hope Italy regrets losing points here in the VNL when it comes to going to olympics etc. I like the new rule that all the matches matter and makes teams hopefully take things more serious in the future. It was such a boring match. Lets wait until Canada and them deciding to compete
Well I mean from the next weeks Italy is going with the main team, they had enough of that last year
They're going to lose points anyway, watch them losing with Belgium tomorrow and Mazzanti still not benching Malinov lol -

Mazzanti gave me a feeling that he just randomly put some players on court to wait until Egonu is back. If he plans to try new players, there’s just no point to have De Gennaro & Chirichella played this match, especially for DG who’s already 35 and just finished the CL final less than a week before.
The only highlight from Italy side in this match was DG’s facial expressions when she saw Degradi & Perinelli failing to dig some balls.
To me, having de gennaro is not necessarily be a bad thing, instead of throwing 7 bench players, indeed it is good to put a few starters in the mix.
By the way Perinelli was the only one I liked from Italian team. She is a good receiver and thanks to being lefty, she got many blockout points.
Setter is the biggest problem in Italy's roster, I would expect Mazzanti to play with Bosio and other candidates to see if there's any hope. Everyone knows what Orro and Malınov can and cannot do already 🤦

that's a relief. WC is still better than a random sh*t show😂

They will do it at the end of the match day. It is easier and also does not confuse the computer.
Thailand will 10-12 points. Canada beat PR who had 191 points last year and was 177, but the Weight Factor was 10, and Canada gained 2.7 points. With VNL being a Weight Factor of 40, Thailand should be in the 10-12 point range.
And we have updated ranking

Thailand with 183 points,Bulgaria with 180

Immediately I was about to ask what's her normal level of reception, but she's on pace to receive 60 balls today, so I'll find out by myself lol

Who's the captain of the German team?

She was one of (if not the) best passing OH in the NCAA last fall (but with Molten)

Jennifer Janiska (Geerties)
EDIT I just noticed it's Anna Pogany now
-
Smrek - for sure she would be great addition to the team
That girl, Smrek, is one of the tallest volleyballers I have ever seen, taller than Stysiak, Rettke, Antropova, Anthouli and Gamova. She is 206 cm and born 2003, i.e 19 yrs old. https://women.volleybox.net/anna-smrek-p30207/clubs
Surely she would have been an extraordinarily intriguing player 2 watch in WNL. Btw, her father played in the NBA.

Serving to Bergmann makes no sense at all unless it's a long-term strategy to make her shaky in the long run.
