honestly hope you guys make through it quickly. we might get over our current regime here in brazil this year, so here's to wishing y'all can do it too
We are just about to come out of a Duterte regime. Just when we thought there's a light at the end of the tunnel, we got plunged into what could possibly be an even darker tunnel. #PlotTwist
Hopefully, things will be bright for Brazil! NT-wise, Brazil will remain an elite team with Gabi. Curious to see this team with the inclusion of young promising players like Ana Cristina. -
out of topic, I'm feeling sad with the way of the outcome of the Philippine Elections. Like my countrymen elected to bring back the Marcoses (Dictator) son to President.
Sorry to contribute to the offtopic conversation, but yeah, feeling the same. It's just... unfathomable. I feel like we're doomed as a race. We never learn from our mistakes.

I wonder what's in store for the NT this year with Russia banned from all the important competitions. Friendly competitions with China? Belarus? North Korea?
-
Koroleva>>>>>
I love her mindset too, I think it's important on this level.
Would love to see this too. She would be a great complement to Eda.
-
Ilkin should take notes.
Vargas, Alexia, and Ebrar at opposite position. Such luxury! -
Vargas is better than Haak at dodgeball 😆
-
And Fener is still alive!
-
Tiebreak pls
-
Someone send a search party for Popovic cause she's nowhere to be found in this game.
Edit: And now she's gone. -
Wow. Cansu Cetin is having an impactful serve run! And that mean block by Eda on Haak
-
I expect a fierce Vakifbank retaliation.
-
they even took a set from Eczacibasi
our queen lindsay stalzer played
I watched this game hoping to finally see Kosheleva play in person but Barbolini decided that it's time for the bench players get some playing time (That b*tch. Just kidding lol). Everyone in the arena was rooting for the all-star team (specially when the locals played). Everyone except me.

The video is geoblocked I didn't even get to know what I missed

Tbh World Championship without Russia is a big what the hell moment because they can definitely get a medal this time, both genders, and the quality of competition will just dip without them. Russia's players are on their peak season. Sadly, bald man's invasion happened.
Women's
Goncharova, (Lazareva)
Fedorovtseva/Voronkova (Parubets, (?) )
Fetisova/Lazarenko (Brovkina/Koroleva)
Podkopaeva / (?)
Startseva (Matveeva)
I think Fedorovtseva is the best serving girl in the world
Goncharova can still slay
Their passing line improved a lot (Fed has decent fd now, also Voronkova)
hmpp~ we can't do anything but to just say.... what if..?
I feel sad not being able to see Russia play this year given their improved chances this time but I'm also aware that there are much bigger things at play here than my love for them. Russia not being able to participate in this year's VNL and WCH could drastically affect their world ranking.
Just hope that this senseless war in Ukraine comes to an end real soon.

No she didn't say it, I meant that her performance says this because they easily beat Roma in the first two sets with Bosetti as setter
However in the meantime she did have some moments that showed that she's not a "real" setter, but considering the circumstances I still think she's doing an amazing job overall.
Maybe she could consider switching to setter position to revive and prolong her career? It's admirable how complete she is as a player.
-
Maja is playing a varied offense but her inaccuracies at the end of the sets were costly. Also, Ana Cristina with a point to close the second set!
-
great performance as usual. can't wait to see her become even better under gui's wings. that's scary
Vakif will steamroll over everyone next season. Conegliano gave them tough rivalry during the past years. Who knows if they'll have that kind of competition next year. Could be a boring season if there's no longer a team strong enough to seriously challenge them.

Interesting, the most high profile Ukranian volleyball player, Goncharova, has remianed silent through all of this
She was asked this question in her Instagram profile. I've been wondering about her thoughts (and the other Ukrainian players like Muserskiy) on this situation and I can imagine it's a difficult subject to answer. She sides with Russia, she gets the ire of Ukraine. she sides with Ukraine, she'll be accused of betraying Russia. She stays neutral and doesn't speak up, people will say she's being too safe. Either way, she'll be screwed. That probably explains why she chose to keep her mouth shut.
