JT is kind of a similar player to Martinez actually now that I think of it, I haven't seen her receive yet though.

Alhassan-Rettke (Ogbogu/Washington actually USA has too many good MBs)

JT-Kelsey (or Foecke)

Drews/Hancock (Carlini...)

Idk what libero

This is the team I'd work towards if JT can OH. And it's just an example, I'm sure I'm forgetting some talents.

But USA really has the potential to build a champions team in 2024 imo but Idk if Karch is the right person, he is a very conservative coach.

Plummer as well.

Also, if Morgan Hentz goes to a pro team I expect her to be one of the top liberos in the world before too long. I’ve only seen her a few times but she’s really impressive. She can do the flashy digs but she doesn’t need to often because she always seems to be in the perfect position.

Dicle Nur Babat played all 3 sets today and did a decent job (4/7 attack, 2 blocks, 1 ace). I think this was her first match after injury so hopefully we will see more of her in the second half of the season.

Could anyone tell me if there has ever been an Italian team to take both the Italian Championship and the CL Championship in the same year?

Bergamo did this twice in the late ‘90s, not sure if they won all the Italian trophies though.

Not everything has to be part of the crovolley vs IV saga. Not everyone is gonna like every player and that is normal.

Personally I am a fan of Pietrini and her legs and I hope/believe she can be a top player for years to come but people are allowed to have their own opinions.

She is so innocent looking, but really useful I agree. I thought she was a veteran too can't lie

She's more useful than some of the MBs in the NT roster anyway.

I'm really not a big fan of Pietrini tbh and her hype, it takes more than just talent to be one of the best. Yes, she is talented I do not deny that.

Also I don't like these new gen girls being like 'oh well' all the time. Golden era Cuba could never

Btw this is not just Pietrini.

Actually I like that she's not just relying on her talent, she is clearly putting in time to work on some of her weaknesses. She's got a lot more work to come to be one of the very best, but if she keeps working hard she could get there.

If this is true then I can’t blame Cate at all for being angry. She’s having a better season than Pietrini and Gennari in both reception and attack. Even if Piccinini or Lucia return to the shape they were in before their time out, they aren’t all-around OHs the way Cate is. What does she have to do to prove to Mazzanti she’s good enough?

I think Pool B for Olympics 2020 is one of the hardest pools (if not the hardest) in recent years. What do you guys think?

It’s really tough for sure but the USA-BRA-CHN-SRB-TUR-KOR pool from London is hard to beat.

Sidney wrote:

It's not a coincidence. Cuba won three times being on pool B because they were simply #1 in the ranking, and the #1 always falls into pool B. Probably the same happened to Brazil in 2008 and/or 2012.

Exactly. With both #1 and #2 being put into pool B, it’s no surprise that the winner usually comes from there.

Oh God, post after post about same thing.

Can you know move you conversation to Turkish NT and about your history??

Yeah, let's get back to how many European teams should be at the OG.

So yeah, yesterday...

They didn't play any WCh before 2006 and this will be only their 2nd olympics. Not to talk about Men's team, which has done literally nothing.

Compare that to Brazil, USA, Russia/USSR, Italy, China, Cuba, Japan, even Korea. Only Serbia has a similar short history like them but at least they have a strong men's team since a long time ago.

I mean, no disrespect, it's good progress for such a little time. But they are in diapers still.

But so what? Who cares if they are a new team? What difference does it make?

Bianca Andreescu withdrew from the Australian Open due to her knee injury.

I hope she can get over her injury-proneness soon because she's the most exciting player to appear on the WTA for a while imo and it would be really sad to see a potentially great career ruined by injury.

Can someone post official POOLs for Olympics. I opened new thread.

We don't know the official pools yet. Puerto Rico are a decent team and them beating DOM is not completely out of the question.

But Koslowski trained several of these girls in Schwerin too: Lippmann, Hanke,Pogany, Geerties etc, he worked with these girls for years, so why can't he have an impact in their growth?

Because crovolley says so.

I personally never post hate comments about anyone no matter where is he from etc. But some behaviour shouldnt be accepted and that is an example : comments under Smarzek’s IG photo. The girl just Lost her chance to play at the Olympics, she is heartbroken and that is what she receives

Of course this is horrible but it's just one stupid guy on the internet. I'm sure all teams have some unpleasant fans.

Sorry two main players are playing outside of Germany. He is lucky to have them, He didn't created them.

He made so wrong tactic today, and He changed tactic of his team at in the last moment. To late.

How is the German coach lucky to have German players? They weren't created by Serie A1 either.

Why is there such hate for Turkey in here?

Well done, Turkey!

This must be a horrible feeling for the German girls. To do all the hard work to reach the big match and then just fall apart.

Lisicki was never good to begin with. Just decent.

True, but Bartoli wasn't much better so still a golden chance for her.
