only 13 players😱 Bedirhan is not there🥺 injury?
He had covid and not practising for 1 week but he might be clarified for the final game.

Why?
Money. Expanses.
Apperantly Cuban Federation doesn't wanna be part of VNL even if they win this tournament.
this italian setter is better than malinov lol
She has been Turkey's top scorer in the games. How do you think she looks horrible?
if you can't see it, you can check the stats. She is not top scorer. Her hitting % is like a joke (18%). I don't believe she will made it to senior level.
Good result without Liza.
Begüm is the top scorer and blocker. Very unfortunate she doesn't run slide.
france's block-defence organization is next level, best in the world.
and probably he will miss wch as well.
If she is worried about traffic, istanbul is wrong choice lol.
If she was complaining there was nothing to do in animal herding village, istanbul is good choice. Where vakif players live is one of the coolest part of istanbul, many things to do.
Rahimova said casalmaggiore smells shit and she turned back to there. I hope Kara will improve and reach the elite level and never back to casamaggiore lol.
italy is on another level than turkey. It makes sense that they won but i don't accept the way of turkey plays and giovanni talks to the media.
If gui were the coach of italy, he would never ever accept pietrini back to team after EC 2019 drama and italy wouldn't win EC'21.
If gui were the coach of brazil, he would never ever play bergmann as starter when she makes it clear that she will back to college during wch.
With the unlimited budget of vakifbank, he makes perfect things but when he doesn't have access to what he wants, he is really bad at creating something from scratch.
The only point of vnl for Turkey should have been adopting derya as starter. He didn't even try. Saliha/meliha/ilkin/tugba can play in system but they won't push turkey one level up. It's clear but gui doesn't care. Of course he knows it as well.
Turkey-Thailand game is at the 3th place on YouTube trends.
It was also in the most watched 10 show list on tv.
Semi final game will create bigger interest.
other than araki, japan never had elite-level middles.
the most important problem of this team is setters. 2 setters were terrible in the finals.
team japan had takeshita for very long time and miyashita's first years were very good. since the last quad, all setters are super mediocre. i thought manabe will change it but nothing has changed.
i said it before, being obsessed with local v league performances is not correct. their opponents don't play like japan.
it's time to bring miyashita back.
So was it or was it not wrong to call Turkey "Europe" since half of it lies in Europe/Asia? genuinely curious haha, though I know you choose not to group it together
Geopolitical term... perhaps a term some may dislike using but many do use it in general to describe a particular geographic area
(okay stopping here to end the OT!!!)
cause many people are ignorant and xenophobic.
Is it something we started to do recently? I don't remember such formation before 🤔 this is to prevent Ebrar to attack from zone 4? She is indeed not worse attacker from zone 4 than 2
I guess the data showed that rot 1 hitting % while ebrar hits from pos 4 is low and they tried this "american" thing. They've been trying for last 2 years sometimes.
Is it really that difficult to keep discussing just about volleyball?
yes, when people are xenophobic and mods do nothing. It is difficult.
I hope no one comes here and talk trash about Brazil and Brazilians because of this. This does not represent us as a nation or as volleyball fans. In fact most of us love Ebrar and she loves us back.
Turkish tv commentator mentioned that all the fans in Brasilia were super respectful and loved our girls. Waited long time for photos. He said that majority is not like twitter users which create lots of bs.
we'd all be killing each other if there is no "social construct." It's also in Turkiye audience where I saw the audience having fights in a volleyball game. that's not an acceptable behavior and if we normalize it and just accept it, it won't be good in the long run.
other than that, I like Ebrar being different (not her behavior) with her bold hair colors and jersey number. those are the kinds of "out of the norm" worth applauding and not disrespectful behavior.
IS IT OK TO BE XENOPHOBIC ON THIS FORUM?
What's this rotation? How come Simge is covering Cansu at reception?🤔
Rot 1.
Cansu 1-simge 6-meliha 5
Ebrar 4 (but running from pos 4 to pos 2)-zehra 3-tugba 2 (but waiting just a little bit right of ebrar on zone 4.)
thank you girls for letting usa to be the only flop of the finals!
