I hope the ankle brace prevented serious damage 
At least she could walk out on her own...

Russia makes NED look like the greatest serving team ever
-
I looked it up again and it happened in U23 WCH 2017, see here:
-
Why isn't Madeline Guillen already in senior NT? She is just 18 years old but I think she's better than Rivera and some others. I remember her two years ago at the U18 WCH and she was simply amazing. Definitely one of the biggest talents of her generation together with Karakurt and Pietrini. But after those WCH I haven't heard of her anymore.
AFAIK Guillen suffered a serious knee injury in that tournament back then, so probably this slowed down her development.

What a meltdown by Russia in 2nd set
Bartsch served something like 10 times in a row in the end and they couldn't score a single point in that rotation 
-
Okay, then it's the same for Lippmann. She deserves an one-week rest as well.
Yeah but there is no 3rd OPP who could replace her in the roster. I think Koslowski will rotate a lot this week like he has done today.
-
German bench should rather play Silver European League than VNL. Stigrot and Schwertmann are already 25 now and the only thing they show every year is that they're not up to this level. And yet they're out there because we have nobody else
-
referees can be so stupid, it's true, but at least now there's a challenge system. the type of call that really annoys me is the overreach, some refs will call it by 1 cm, and others don't. so it's still arbitrary and there's no hawkeye for that.
Yeah but if the replay shows that the player touched neither the ball nor the hand, it's simply a wrong call.
-
What an annoying arrogance by the referee! He called that Stigrot interfered with the Chinese set, and since there is no challenge for that, Koslowski challenged net touch. The video clearly showed that Stigrot didn't touch the ball nor Ding's hand, so the referee's call was wrong, but since Ding didn't touch the net, it was a lost challenge and the referee stayed with his initial call and made a total fool of himself
-
Then where are the going?
Bugg goes to Mulhouse, Wilhite to Brazil, McCage retires and P.Tapp hasn't announced her new team yet. From last season Rivers is the only American player staying in Stuttgart.
-
Erik Reitsma (ex-Aachen) replaces Tamari Miyashiro as assistant coach of Stuttgart because she'll focus on the preparations for OG with USA NT. That explains the drastic reduction of USA players in Stuttgart next season compared to last...
-
She has been playing abroad for a while. She won two league titles back to back with Schweriner and RC Cannes + a Supercup of Germany.
Somehow some players always keep their place in Serie A1, while others have to go abroad or Serie A2. I mean Carocci is easily better than 80% of the liberos of the league hands down...
In Carocci's case I think it wasn't having to go abroad but more like she wanted to see more of the world, live in other countries, play in other leagues. No doubt she could easily find a team in A1.
-
Where is Carocci? Has she retired already? Yeah she’s also pretty cute, a hidden twin of Sorokaite and Podskalnaya
She played in Cannes last season.

As I don't want to write it down, here is a screenshot I made. This is the type of messages she is receiving now..
What a place this world has become. And I thought it's just this forum -
OMG Celeste Plak's Instagram story... Horrible, dumb gamblers
I guess this will be part of the risks now that volleyball starts to become a more popular gambling sport.
Could you educate the non-IGers?
-
Orthmann disrespectful towards the referee. It was clearly a carry by her!
It sure was, but the players aren't used to referees actually calling it. Luckily in women's game it's not (yet) as ugly as in men's.
Well, not sure what to think about the match. Losing 2:3 and 14:16 against the Dutch isn't bad, but when you have chances to win it is.

Guys, can you share the link for NED-GER?

Hanke's sets to pos.4 are all over the place today, the OHs can barely hit any ball well because each one comes in a different speed at a different place.
-
That was a really bad match overall, and one where the losing team probably is more happy about their performance than the winning team.

Belgian bench >>> German bench.
