Italy lost 1 point from my team

Oh, Giannelli !
You should take a rest on next round.He stumbled during the rally and feels pain in his right knee.
Spirito replaces him now. -
Vlasov out please.
-
Must not be doing well if he can't play at home
I think so No Ishiikawa? What happened to him? Any Japanese volleyball fan can explain?
He has a chronic pain (Sorry, I'm not sure it's an apporopriate word) in his knees and back.
I haven't ever seen such a fragile player

I sometimes don't understand Pankov
why don't take Russu instead of Malygina. At least Russu got 183 points, Malygina got 18 points in regular season. She was a bench player and she is 24, I am hopeless her improvement, but at least Russu is a young player, she is only 19 and she can improve herself. The same with Tatiana Iurinskaya who got 320 points in regular season and she only lost 1st place to Goncharova who got 368 points in regular season. I am not agree with Bryukova too. At least Iurinskaya was 2nd player who got more points. Taking Malygina and Bryukova were the only reason, it is obvious their height was the main reason here. 
I am not surprised if Pankov took Bryukova because of playing abroad 
Yes, I also don't understand why Pankov never use her.
She was the best young player during this season and showed good rate on both attacking and passing. She should be tried more instead of Biryukova.And I hope Anna Lazareva transfers to the club which she can be a starter (or more playing time).
Sitting on bench and almost zero playing time give her nothing -
Muserskiy's error of freeball passing gave Serbia a victory
But very exciting match overall. Congrats Serbia !

Klyuka
No one mentioned your face, but your performance is really handsome right now
-
Even Kobzar looks odd to me lolMarkin is miles above anyone in the looks department, but Vlasov is cute too.
I'm not surprised if Markin appears on Prizon Break
-
Russia have some really cute players on court
Who? Kobzar and?
Vlasov is the Efimova of Russian men's national team.
I thought exactly the same thing

Question for Japanese fans: where is Ishikawa? I feel like he only plays some random tournaments here and there and then disappears.
Also Nishida!!
Sorry to be late!Ishikawa missed 1st and 2nd week because he has a slight pain on his knees and his back. He's planned to join the team on 3rd week.
He's certainly the biggest talent our NT ever had, but he had too many injuries after 2015 World cup and missed most of the tournaments

Toray announced NT setter Kanami Tashiro left the team.

Fujii & Lee's combination
-
Who got injured?
The first one is Roman Martynyuk (RUS/L), then he was replaced by Alexander Sokolov.
The second is Alexander Markin but he's still playing.Vlasov
Amateur(and very dangerous) blocking movement ,amateur ball control and amateur service -
Any livestreams on these matches?
-
How serious Pankov's and Kovalev's injuries ?
No one can hit the ball with Kobzar's sets so far -
Thanks for shedding light on this Joanna. So this rule only applies to Goncharova in the women's team since if I remember correctly she represented Ukraine NT in the past.
Muserskiy: He didn't represent Ukraine (both senior and junior) NT.
Bakun: He represented Ukraine senior NT.
Kliuka:He represented Belarus junior NT.So these 3 are allowed to play together.
-
anyone knows the roster for Japan? will Ishikawa-Yanagida-Otake trio play?
No, Yanagita-Fukuzawa-Nishida is playing.Fukuzawa comes back to NT.
Nishida is a new left-handed Opp who was born in 2000. He is very short(187cm) but jumps very high, like Victor Poletaev.Ishikawa probably joins the team on 3rd week.
Otake is a substitute Opp.
