2023 Women's Volleyball Nations League

  • Block Party on the other foot now :lol:


    I really like the two Croatia kids, though. #s 1&2

  • Oh my :aww:


    my reverse doppelganger riptide whiplash jinx didn't work out :white:

  • But I do think that Zé might take 4 MB tô Paris. due tô Thaísa Health status

    Carol, Diana, Lorena and who?

  • Brazil played their whole team in the last set.

  • A fired up Brazil is hard to stop !


    ....but a young and gutsy Croatian team has earned my respect & admiration :heart:

    young and gusty gets you about a set and a half of fun. But as soon as a team like Brazil gets tired of it ... :gone:

  • Croatia showed great potential in the first 2 sets.. If they can keep playing like that, they will grab some wins for sure..

    You all stay relaxed and kind to each other out there.

    sitenoise, Julian Chow, clara and one other like this.
  • Naiane :flower: Idk if Roberta will be fit for Brasília, but this might be the last we see of her this VNL. I'm glad she got to end it in a positive not after the double touch call (which was kind of harsh tbh) in the fifth set against China.

  • Carol :love: What a beauty. It's uncanny

  • Interviewing Carol....


    How is it Carol looks the same from 10, 12 years back :heart:

    It slays me how naturally beautiful she is. Beauty like that is timeless

  • Croatia put up a good fight until middle of 2nd set, both MB's were really good.


    Naiane's contact with the ball is beautiful, class touch. Glad she had a chance to show her work today and did it good, steady.


    Ana Cristina was the most solid player for Brazil 1st week, a leader. Natinha recovered from a slow start and Lais show some good things for us today. Julia needs to jump, girl jump.

  • Naiane :flower: Idk if Roberta will be fit for Brasília, but this might be the last we see of her this VNL. I'm glad she got to end it in a positive not after the double touch call (which was kind of harsh tbh) in the fifth set against China.

    Maybe the lineup for Week 2?


    S: Macris, Roberta

    L: Natinha, Nyeme

    MB: Diana, Carol, Lorena

    OH: Gabi, Ana C, Julia B, Tainara

    OP: Kisy, Lorrayna, Lorenne


    But seriously Carol needs her much needed break.

  • I think Thaisa is going to be there, but she probably won't play every match. Lara's condition is still a question mark, but if she's fit by then, she should go too.


    Rosamaria too is supposed to be recovered I think? So probably her instead of Lorrayna.

  • I haven't seen any updates on Roberta's situation, but I think, if she's available, Zé will go with her and Macris, and Thaisa too. Between the opposites, I can't bet on anything.
