USA should’ve brought their U18 or any Highschool girls. This is a waste of energy.

We'll never know but they completely smashed USA, Brazil and Peru at the 1987 pan american games (which was a serious competition back then) and then won world cup 89 very easily as well.
I think at the very least they would have played the final in Seoul.
They were already a powerhouse during the 2nd half of the 1980s. If they joined 1988, they could easily make it to the finals. I mean, they were whipping Peru that got silver at that time. It's a huge what if but I believe that they could've gotten 4 straight gold medals.
If the Cuban federation made some changes in allowing their players to go abroad and not take their money, they will still be at the top or at least in the top 5 of the volleyball standing.

Other teams might not shut down Zhu completely. However, Zhu in Tianjin is different than Zhu in NT. She will not be playing along side Ding Xia, Yan Ni, Yuan Xinyue, et al. The coach is not Lang Ping. So the overall dynamics is different. And Tianjin is arguably weaker than the Chinese NT.
But I do agree with u guys. Cannot wait to watch the games
But she will play with Li Yingying, Yao Di, and Destinee. That will be good enough to power through.

Go to facebook the search for example Philippines Thailand during their match. Usually there is someone streaming it. Do the same to Youtube.

I'm hating Speraw right now. Is Muagututia the best OH after Sander and Russel?
-
Danini the libero is passing lights out. The setter can just do any play he wants.
-
USA is losing to Argentina.
Now they have to bring in the big guns to get past this.

Morrison is really good in destroying confidence of players. Why don't let Bongaerts play? She didn't even play bad. And keeping Buijs on court is just
Karch school of coaching!

Everything an opposite player isn't supposed to do, and nothing an opposite player is supposed to do
But who needs a terminal opposite who can't play defense when you have Zhu? LP created a good balance of a team.

Always the bridesmaid never the bride. Lol!

Drews has one of the best looking attacks in the game
Yep!
In 3rd set she was trying to hit the ball as hard a she could. She should've showed up earlier to make this game entertaining.

Nice game by China!
This is the problem with USA's system, without a good passing they are pretty much done when facing top teams like China and Serbia. Their system relies heavily of fast sets beating the middle blocker. Essentially, they don't have plan B whenever things aren't going their way.

I have no hope for the current Japan NT. I'm just waiting for Coach Aihara and his U20 squad to take over after Tokyo 2020.

KP will finish her studies this December and she plans to go pro right away, I hope she gets transferred in team where she can be a starting 6 right away. Many standout US college players bomb in the pro-league.

Plummer with 34 Kills yesterday.
Marquette who beat BYU and Wisconsin the past two weeks loss vs Baylor 0:3 .
Pressley from Baylor is giving me Yumilka Ruiz vibe. She’s definitely a candidate for NT in the next quad.

Thompson is carrying Cincinnati so much. Should have gone pro.

brazil is the only american team and china is the only asian team that have a chance of winning gold.
I'm not really sure about Brazil's chances this OG. Ze wouldn't be summoning Sheilla if things are fine in new batch of Brazilian girls.

hancock was the starting setter at the recent pan am cup, which the US won.
at the recent pan am games, cuttino could be a big hitter sometimes, but oh boy, her defense/backrow play was atrocious. at one point, on a free ball, she managed to shank the pass to the setter. has she never played defense in her life? i thought rivers was more impressive.
I can't remember a ball in Pan Am that she was able to dig.

She's mentally weak given the fact that her peers are in the same pressure as her. She will not reach her full potential or even reach a career longevity with this type of mentality. But if this will keep her sane and enjoy stress-free life then good for her.

Europe hasnt won the golden medal since 1988
URSS was the last country which won it. Actualy, it is the ONLY european country which has gotten it.
Though it was considered under Europe, lots of countries from the defunct USSR are actually in Asia.
This coming OG, Italy and Serbia are the only European countries that have an actual shot of winning gold.
