I'm not sure Grebenikov will be ready to play from the first game in Paris. Diez was the libero after Tillie switched go OH.
Oh... is Grebennikov injured?

Poland playing their starters vs Cuba today and not even having Janusz/Kurek with the squad yesterday vs Serbia is quite brutal... But! If Cuba had just won the direct confrontation earlier this week when they were 2-0 up in sets, this fact wouldn't have mattered anyway so congrats to Serbia on this deserving OG spot
Yesterday, when Grbic kept rotating the players on court, I had the impression that he might want to give his home country's team a hand. It's just that the current Serbian team is too weak to receive this gift. Today, as expected, from start to finish he fielded an almost full squad against Cuba.
Anyway, Cuba was once in a very advantageous spot after an amazing week 1. It's still the same squad but it looks like a different team now. Today, they simply could not stage a fight. No wonder they crumbled in the most important matches for the last two editions of OG (vs Canada in 2021, and vs Serbia this week).

The commentators pronounce Yant as "Jant". Is that the proper pronunciation in Spanish?
-
D'amico, Verona's L, passed really well in the game vs Perugia. He already showed an impressive performance last season as Lube's second libero. I think he deserves at least a trial in the coming NT season.
-
Both Clayton Lucas and Andrea Zorzi don't know Sole has changed his sports nationality to Italian.
-
MVP performance from Richlicki
-
Has Ben Tara changed his sports nationality to Polish? IIRC, he hasn't represented Tunisia again after Tokyo Olympics. He is really solid and mature, with well-rounded offense and superb blocking skills.

Retrospectively speaking, while Belgium has been (understandably) choking the whole match, originally they still could have taken down Bulgaria in the final moment when they leveled 13:13. What’s unexpected is that it’s Penchev burying their hope with a challenging OOS spike and then a block point. That’s not his normal standard
-
Is this a record for an OH position of a senior team at the international level to score 0 point?
The team's tactic is also shockingly questionable: Honorato + Adriano duo were given 18 sets in total despite their poor attacking performance.
-
Zhang Jing-yin lost his good serve due to the injury.
Yu Yuan-tai was injured in Set 2.
I hope it were light.
Thanks to Wang Bin.
He gave the goodbye ace!
what injury has he picked up that prevented him from doing the hybrid serves? Is there any report on his recovery?
-
When other Teams will be known?
17th June 2024?
Yes, right after the VNL preliminary round concludes.
-
Since last year, Giani has been constantly using Jouffroy as a serving specialist, who either faulted or created no troubles to opponents' reception. What's the point of this robotic substitution??
-
Vincic is added to the roster for the Bronze match due to Ropret’s injury.
What's the regulation of injury substitution, considering that Vincic is not in the 14-player squad?
-
By the way, what's Lima's condition? Will he be fit for the final round?
-
Counting in the cut in Mousavi's finger, has Iran suffered from 4 injured players this week alone?
-
Also, making only 5 blocks in such a long game is a really bad performance at the net, considering the physicality of this USA team. (OTOH, kudos to De Cecco's setting again
) -
Congrats to Argentina winning this match. Despite making some uncharacteristic serve mistakes, De Cecco's craftiness and talents in setting cannot be paralleled.
On the other hand, Anderson was obviously tired in the 5th set. Unfortunately, he could hardly take a rest given the depth of the opposite position.
-
Is Cuban setter Goide injured? He hasn't played a single minute in a few matches I watched.
-
While Luburic played well, I am excited to see that other Opposite from last year's VNL.
do you mean Petkovic or Aquaman?
-
Wow, Argentina vs Brazil this match is a must watch. Very high level volleyball with lots of rallies. Such a great game. Now we're going to 5!
Yeah, what an intense match. Argentina spoiled another chance to beat Brazil.
OTOH, it looks like Brazil's coaching squad intends to limit Alan's court time, considering what happened last year.
