2025 Women’s VNL

    Another loss, and on top of that injury to another key player(Kurtagic). Ko nas je kleo nije dangubio.


    I honestly have no words to describe how much this team is underperforming in key moments; it's baffling. Errors on top of errors that cost us every single time, despite being close in every game except vs Japan. We played them even, but kept digging ourselves in a hole of our own making.

    Yeah Lazovic is underperforming so badly, like in every aspect. I get that she signed with Vakif but she should keep something from that club season for NT. But in general we are still playing like shit, and there is no excuse for it. At least Mirkovic was subbed, while Perovic ain't Maja, she is better than Mirkovic and our team can try to build something with her.

    Not having cajic even attempt at opposite is coaching malpractice given how bad we have it there right nown

    Quote from Cofi

    It was in the middle of 3rd set but she played whole that set after, so I really hope it’s nothing serious.

    Yeah and it is also something that the Mladenovic our physio is familiar with, it is not something that just appeared today, so guess is that she was taken out just as a precaution.


    Oh god, poor us, so unlucky, we were getting close to that VNL trophy.

    Quote from jader

    yes, that is it


    Serbia could have sacrificed last week for the chemistry (Perovic, Gocanin..) and start this week with it, but no. On the otherhand, without Uzelac, there is no 3rd OH who can come in for Lazovic for example.

    Without Uzelac we dont have replacement for Ivanovic in current registered roster, but we have for Dangubic(Tica).


    But Terzic is obsessed with older players and they have too much credits, Mirkovic/Perovic is good example. He still think he can repair them. And he generally dont change starting 6.


    But i hope Mirkovic was fallen today and Dangubic will follow her asap.


    If Terzic is not brain dead, he will stop with bullshits and go against France with this roster Boskovic/Perovic/Ivanovic/Tica/Aleksic/Kurtagic/Gocanin and take this first fucking W.

    Brazil Team vs Canada


    S: Roberta, Macris

    L: Kika, Lais

    OP: Jheovana, Tainara, Rosamaria

    OH: Ana Cristina, Julia Bergmann, Helena

    MB: Lorena, Diana, Julia Kudiess, Luzia

    Szczyglowska doesn't get enough props.


    im watching the endline view of POL/USA


    the way she covers Piasecka in receive is so good.


    Piasecka had 15 receptions in set 1 alone (and the poor passes were a big reason they lost the set).... Szczyglowska/Poland adjusted, covered more court, and Piasecka only had 15 total the rest of the match. Szczyglowska and Lukasik both passed really well.

    Quote from serdar

    Ebrar played well as oh today but I still think we should keep her opp and use double sub often like Italy does. She is way better attacker from right side, also we have two good setters, it would be good to use both of them. Also Cansu is a big liability at blocking when she in front row so it would be better to replace her with Ebrar whenever she is in front row.


    We have very good OHs like Hande, yaprak and hopefully ilkin will join soon. We don't need Ebrar as OH this summer

    Căruțașu and Vargas will be allowed to play together, right?


    So I understand Karakurt insisting on being OH.


    Alexia may change her playing style, Vargas and Karakurt have similarities as OPP.

    Good to see they found a solution for Piasecka to be on court, after she got served out of the match by NL. Czyrnianska already showed in week 1 and Wednesday that she is perhaps Poland's most reliable stable OH right now. Testing Piasecka against these good teams will be good for her development but also to make a wise decision for their OH line-up later this year! (bc didn't someone say they wanna rotate and test players)

    Nobody praises her because no one can spell her name

    Yes in theory but carutasu isn't really better than Ebrar, I would use jack instead of carutasu. She is the only one who can replace Eda or even Zehra. I don't expect these two to play every game in WCh so we need a replacement for them. Aslı is actually doing a great job as mb2 but we need a slider mb1 and I wouldn't bet on Deniz uyanık, YET. Eda is getting older and Zehra is injury prone. Until begum kaçmaz is ready, jack could be useful for transition period. I actually would love to have Begüm kacmaz playing in vnl, she has higher ceiling than both Deniz uyanık and Berka Özden. Begüm and Dilay could be our starters in LA so we should integrate them to our roster ASAP. Since Begüm is being wasted in u19 and U21 tournaments this summer, I would use jack for 1-2 years
