Thought it would be hard for Japan but great to start with a strong game.

Good adjustments this game. Having Mayu get her game and confidence back in the recent games is also paying off.
-
Airi is just bursting
-
When I say Airi's name I don't do it with a random French flair like a lot of people do
-
English speakers tend to put a flare to foreign names. Like they put a twirl in Spanish when it is supposed to be flat.

Think of Kylie but instead eye-ri.

Not quite confident that Japan will win today but hopefully they give out a strong fight or an upset perhaps. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
-
That Brazil game made Manabe realize why Mayu should be a starter, she's been in first six ever since
-
if they get one point from this match, that's good
-
Japan is exceeding expectation. They literally making ITA confused. JPN defense and speed in Set 1 is exceptional. Though this set 2, Seki is doing a lot of missed sets. She should refocus.

If three points, even better

I also noticed how their serving game have improved massively. One of the paramount factors they been winning
-
oh no. They're flopping
-
Seki is not using the middles as much. Keep putting Inoue against Egonu and Chiricella is a losing proposition. You have Airi to spike against them use her.

the difference between Kobata and Kojima yapping all the time and Uchiseto and Satomi who never speak

I was about to comment that on the main thread. But yeah, very subtle but is able to stop MB plays. CHN so far is the only team that had been able to play against it.
PS: Uchiseto has been one of the weakest receiving libero JPN had for the longest time.
PPS: Sylla is on top of JPN's defense so far. Both offensively and defensively. -
Sylla seems to be on every Japan's highlights replay
-
Seki hasn't been effective since set 2
-
wow. 7-1 Italy
-
maybe captain Koga needs to dip her toes a bit?
