Win games? At vnl? Who? Even with kyk they couldn't beat rd at vnl,they always struggles with them,other teams gonna bring best players next weeks
The team and the fans can still be hopeful. And the past doesn't have to dictate the future.
There's a whole lot of fixing and strategizing needed on the Korean team for sure.
Let's see what VNL week #2 brings.... sigh...
I doubt I'am 100% sure korea not qualify to next olympics
The ranking is so important and they are losing all matches,and if want to qualify in world quali tournament they would need to be one of brazil,serbia,italy,etc and i doubt even with comebacks they can do
Yes okay we get that you don't like the Asian countries in Olympics by now lol, you can calm down we get your point
I agree and don't think they will either at this rate
But no one expected Korea to get 4th in the Olympics either and nothing is 100%
I'd like to see Thailand have a shot at it if not Korea though, and its not as unlikely as you'd think
I don't like the social justice of the ruler.
I use sabermetrics to quantify the effectiveness of each player on an expected value basis, but in sports, such numbers are overturned by uncertainties such as a single game changer or the atmosphere of the venue. That's why I like sports.
Insult and harsh criticism are the best spices, so let's see the results.
But no one expected Korea to get 4th in the Olympics either and nothing is 100%
exactly, if you predict that Korea would get 4th in olympics before the games started and China and Japan won't make it out of their groups, people would think you're crazy and I think Korea could've done even better without the pandemic which indirectly caused the twins to get kicked.
The teams that qualified to the olympics in 2021 deserved to be there, and let's hope the teams that qualify for the olympics in 2024 also deserve to be there.
I would like to see KYK still play a part in the team....she’s such an inspiring person. Maybe an advisor, assistant coach etc. When she was playing she was always clapping her hands and encouraging her team.

German NT has a great pool of OHs, they need to find a hammer on OPP position and they are ready.
Alsmeier is very solid, she's talented
Lippmann quitting was kind of catastrophe for Germany, currently we have no near replacement for her.

I'd love to see her take over the Korea Volleyball Federation and change that organization inside out. And ultimately, become the next Lang Ping to be the head coach for the Korean national team in the future!

What?? Why'd she quit?

I usually think these stats for digging and receiving don't really reflect what we see on court, but damn if most of these aren't accurate so far. Kojima and Pogany were by far the best liberos this first week for me; in fact, Pogany should get more credit because she's really good. Also despite one bad game, Julia definitely deserved to be among the best receivers too.

After all she done for Korea, let her enjoy the rest of her career free of pressure

I'm sure she wants to do it despite any sort of pressure. Not for us to decide anyways..

think she was just done with vb, switched to beach instead apparently.
Carlini as backup for JWO in WCH 
I think Germany will now miss the round of last eight, I am not sure, if they will win against Canada, which they are supposed to...
woah I just noticed that Japan won 3-0 against USA 
Can someone who watched the full match give a breakdown of what happened there ???

It wasn't full USA A-Team and they chose not to block. Japan served a lot of lollipops which gave USA a little trouble in finding offensive rhythm. Japan played their defensive game well

japan's serve cut the USA's reception to pieces, also their setter wasn't that great either
plus japan was jumping high with good block and picking up everything in defence.
Japan played smart to win against USA. Loved this match. It gives them a boost of confidence which is needed.
