Japan seems like they've been playing together for months. Super fast and organized. Koga remains awesome.
Tamaki Matsui. Fast is her middle name. And she communicates well

yeah, I like her whole vibe on court. they might actually grab some unexpected wins playing like this, even though this Korea is no parameter for anything...
-
Captain Koga led by example.
Sarina and Nagaoka are my favourite Japanese players
.... but I didn’t see Nagaoka here. She could be injured again....she had an injury plagued career 😐 -

a good blocking team will be a potential nightmare for Japan. I expected more from Korea. They’re good players and I believe they will improve during the tournament. Their flailing was a bit inscrutable to me

How was Korea's performance today?
-
No and no . Pretty sure she said her allegiance ro to PHI
Everyone's waiting for Melissa Valdes. Okubu Oba's got kill from the right but it's a defense thing or she'd be out there
Yeahh I think it was mentioned before that Santiago can naturalise, but she's still loyal to the Philippines !

disastrous

absolutely tragic

yeah that's gonna be rough lol but Koga's experienced enough to get through that up to some point

absolutely tragic
Will be watching the replay tonight after work, let's see how much of a tragedy it was

No fair

It was like USA v DOM thats not a good thing

So things can change (obv) but I think the youngsters (plus two grandmas) will face Brazil and Japan this week
Gray/Drews, Bajema/Kingdon, Stevenson/Butler, White is what I think will happen.

looking at the scores should be enough lol reception was messy, no one could score, setting was a problem (she set someone on japan's side once), etc

Most importantly... unforced errors. I think Korea had at least 75 of those this match.

Also I remember that set to team Japan lmao

oh yeah, for sure. everyone was hitting out all the time, it was just ugly

We would like to commend the Thai team for their spectacular play and victory. There is a gap between the reserves and the starters and I am sure they will suffer in the long VNL, but first congratulations. I would also like to thank the Turkish Volleyball Association and the fans for making the venue more solid than it was three years ago. The attraction of the content should still make it more exciting.
And one more thing I would like to ask all the volleyball fans in the USA, the Olympic champions and home country.
If you can only attract 300 people, don't hold the event.

we've already discussed this... USA Volleyball doesnt want spectators.... they took the bid out in the middle of no where.
there were 19,000 people attending the NCAA final
