i love her tho

not the receipts but also SWP didn’t exactly play against the toughest competition. She isn’t a better passer than Hande Simge or Meliha lol
I didnt say she was.

For now you can’t compare SWP with Larson, Hill, Robinson, Bartsch. She is not on that level yet.
But does She has potential yes She has. But don’t put her on level of this players that is why She is gone be “attacked”.
For sure She has bigger potential than Bajema or Plummer.But I find Frantti on another hand as better player in near future. If She can keep her growing as player.

Display MoreSimplest answer for Japan. The team got old. If it was 2020, they probably would have been better, but Shinnabe retiring did not help. Let alone Japan has always had problems at middle. I love Erika Araki, but it just wasn't coming out of her body. Yamada was not ready (she's getting there, but still young).
Ishii in 2018 was decent, but on the national team, Ishikawa was going to replace her, but still with Koga's injury in the games, she was the backup. That was not a recipe that was going to replace like for like. Koga is much better.
Plus with Nakata's five years of running the team, it just was not changing. 2017 was a surprise, 2018 a leveling (while the rest of world improved greatly), 2019 was about the same as 2018. In my mind if they made the quarterfinals, that would be as far as they would go. Koga's injury and the loss to South Korea in group play made it hypercritical to win the DR game. It didn't happen.
Manabe's basically, play the kids, but keep a couple of the veterans. Also focus on serving, which worked really well on Sunday against USA.
I think Japan is very close in solving that MB problem. I saw a post in Twitter they are a trying to naturalize a foreign player from philippines. 1.95cm, been playing in jvl for 4 seasons and heard she was doing well with Japanese system. Currently best MB in JVL. I think they also have another opposite naturalize player name valdes?. I am a fan of Japanese team and I am getting some updates. These 2 possible naturalize players might help Japanese more solid.

Display MoreNone of Fulden/Merve/whoever were great receivers that could help cover her. (they all passed the exact same this season without SWP)
Her passing was over 10% better than Kingdon.
Top passers in turkey this past season (playing in the VNL this week) were Simge, Hande, Meliha, Kingdon, and Orthmann
Guess who passed better than all of them this week (despite being with the aforementioned "Frantti and Bajema")
She only had very few attempts. Let's see how her stat will look at the end of tournament (if she would get playing time)
-
Yep, said it before. Swp is no way on the level of 4 vets. Not yet. Tbh I don't know who can replace Larson, hill and MBH for 2024. Krob will carry all pressure 😁.

FIVB is still giving players prize money for each match played.
At least before covid, German players had to give their prize money to the federation, otherwise the federation could not have afforded to play VNL. It might be a little easier moneywise since there is no tournament in Germany this year.
In 2018 the home tournaments in VNL caused a loss of ~250.000€ for the German federation, the prize money for the players was ~120.000€. I think the numbers are combined for men and women.

So the rumors of Jaja getting her Japanese status continues 😂

I think so! Goodness! Saw her highlights in yt. Lol is she famous in Philippines? Very tall and looks good in attack and block. Japan will be happy to have her for sure.
-
I don't think so, her reception was quite subpar while she was playing in Turkey. sitenoise was SWP's reception 'fine' in Japan?

about time this meme actually got used properly here

The roster is not out yet but she should I guess

I hope we can see Czyrnianska, Smarzek and Stysiak for the 2nd week as Poland will play against all-libero teams and they need some power in attack

Czyniańska will be on Phillipines, Stysiak not yet and Smarzek is not listed on VNL roster at all.
