São Paulo State Championship begins today. You can find the schedule here: http://www.fpv.com.br/fpv2018/noticia.php?id=7858
Osasco/Audax vs São Caetano starts in 5 minutes at 8pm local time (GMT -3) live @ https://www.tvnsports.com.br/
As far as I know, São Caetano has no professional players. Their roster consists of youth and college players.
I think the semifinal matches are wrong.
I don't think any league will come to a proper end this season.
Yes, he is.
IMO, Mayhara is much better than Mara especially at blocking. I would go with her and Adenizia.
Also Tifanny just shouldn't play as OH...
Polina is in Brazil but I think she's on quarantine. Hodge had covid 19 before she arrived in Brazil so she is still recovering from it.
Friendly match between Minas vs Sesi (first match of the season):
Oh I see it's an old match... thanks
Omg this was so boring to watch. Can any team in Italian league really challange Conegliano? Did Busto really prepare for Egonu at all? It is Italian league and Busto being aced so many times...Really disappointing.
I'm lost here. Was there a match between Imoco and Busto?
Natalia (BR) is in Moscow and she said 4 players from her team will be back from NT on Sep 1st. She said Gonchavora was there at the club.
I love her but no thanks
Every site has wrote that Minas has made an offer so it was Sheilla to not accept the offer
Well, no site has had any confirmation from the club. Everything is speculation.
Funny how Sheilla writes as if she made the decision herself. What if Minas did not want to renew ????
Four? I only know about Hodge, Daroit and Kasiely.
Luiza Vicente
Minas hasn't renewed with Sheilla (at least yet). Mesquita will be the backup OPP since Minas already has 4 OHs in their roster.
I might be wrong but I don't see any reason why Sheilla would go play abroad right now with her two small kids in such a far away country as Russia.
I don't think they have officialy announced any player yet so it's no surprise Buijs hasn't been confirmed.
Display MoreSo is it safe to say that the 6-2 was only a workable option when Cuba had players good enough to make it work?
Volleyball was different a generation ago. Middle Blockers receiving serve and whatnot.
This is relevant to Japan for me because, as I understand, Coach Manabe tried some unconventional things several years back. I don't know if he did them based on observed skills (and weaknesses) of the players he had or on "theories" of what might work regardless of who he had. I think it was the former.
Japan needs to improve it's offense, it's scoring ability. They shouldn't just wait around and hope that all of a sudden some player just gets real good at scoring in contemporary traditional ways. I want to see them shake things up based on the skills observed. Give me a rapscallion right side
Yes, Cuba had great OPPs in the past which were regular setters (never great). Maybe Aguero was on another level as she could set very well in comparison to most of the others Cuban setters.
And things do change a lot with time. Cuba used to receive with the MBs for a few years even after the libero position was invented. Some Brazilian clubs used to do that in the past decade by using old and complete MBs (Valeskinha and Walewska mainly).
PS: I think the system is called 4-2 and not 6-2.
Yeah, since 1990 or before that. Won 3 consecutive Olympics with this set-up. They tried it until 2004 Athens, I think.
They did that until 2008 Beijing with Ramirez and Santos playing as OPP/setter (they finished at #4). After that last good generation retired or left the NT, Cuba's level dropped a lot.
