I don't frequent this thread but LOL, biglang may nag-tagalog
I also noticed just recently that Japan NT fans seems to prefer to comment here instead in the tournament thread.
Umayos kayo🤣 i prefer Thailand on how they treat their fans. They're more accommodating. Kulang sa yakap nung bata pa sila yong mga hapon🤣

Google translate can only translate mostly formal speech.
Prediction for Week 3?
Imo
Japan-Netherlands = 3-0
Japan-Turkey = 3-1
Japan-Serbia = 3-2 match where either could win
Japan-Belgium = 3-0
They haven't played Brazil, have they?

Turkey is kinda unstable. they can be so strong if they're on.

If they can be strong, I think they might have a good chance of defeating Japan. But from the previous weeks' results, it could be 3-1 in Japan's favour
it does look like her. build and all.
Anybody know the venue where these U20 matches will be played in Nur-Sultan? JVA has listed:
Nur-Sultan (Kazakhstan)
Venue: Main Sports Center at NU
but that seems like a uninformed guess on their part. (Main arena at Nur-Sultan University? Is there such a thing?)
I went to the AVC web site site yesterday but it hasn't finished loading yet. There might be something there 
Display MoreI forgot to mention Akinori Yamada, NEC's previous HC is Head Coaching the U20 Squad
Director: Akinori Yamada (NEC)
Coach: Daichi Saegusa (JVA), Yo Okamoto (NEC Red Rockets)
Trainers: Koji Nojiri (Bright Body Co., Ltd.), Aya Fukushima (Keds Sports)
Analyst: Minami Ito (Gunma Bank Green Wings)
Gunma must be dead serious about ousting Kurobe. Their new coach Mayumi Saito was a former NT ace around Nakada's time but probably earlier? First time hearing of her being a coach though.

Gunma's been serious from the get go. They're about the only V2 team that's had a real coach coach all along. A couple more may have moved in lately, maybe Brilliant Aries ... and the new teams knocking at the V.League door are taking the coach part seriously ... Hokkaido, Fukuoka, Kanoa
Saito might turn out to be about as good as Nakata was 
I don't know either one of them as a player

This is her first time coaching a team so it's more of a stepping stone for her. She only helped out during training camps organized by her bestfriend Naomi Masuko who has her own foundation. Saito was quite notorious for not following what her coaches tell her to do, more on that if you google Masuko's talks where she emphasizes balancing soft and tough techniques for growth. She would always namedrop Saito as one of the rebels in her examples. Which is why I find this all the more ironic now that Saito is a coach herself.

I think this is about her following Tomoko Yoshihara's footsteps in promoting a V2 team to V1

That's definitely it. IF she can that is. The major difference is that Yoshihara was a natural leader, a stickler for the Japanese way of volleyball. Saito not so much.
Yesterday was supposed to be a friendly match between Japan and Serbia.
Does anyone know what the result was?

I mean it's AVC. What do you expect. They keep information like top secret.
