Quote from Leonardo.D

More than this, I would add an OPP. As many have already pointed it out, Brazil lacks of a decent+ OPP since Sheilla retired. Tandara was okish from time to time, but Brazilian's play game has never been one-player based. They rely a lot in the distrubition to all their attackers (Does someone remember a Brazilian player being the top scorer of a tournament? Usually not).

Even if Julia B and Diana improves, the abscence of an OPP will haunt them. Especially in the vball which is played now.

At some point, Gabi/Tandara/Carol/Garay/Sheilla/Thaisa/Paula Pequeno/Carol Gattaz/Fabiana. Do they count?

Ana C is OH/OP. Rosamaria is playing good too. And when Tainara plays good she is good

Quote from Leonardo.D

Brazil x Japan never ever disappointed. In a current vball era where we only see strong serves, one dimensional play game and smashes, it is so so joyful and pleasant to see these two teams playing. Especially when in one side there Is Gabi, one of the few all around OH nowadays + the exquisite Japanese defence.

Congrats Brazil! It was a rollecoaster, despite of the missing players, the low hope from their own fans and the tragic Wal's new, they got their berth to Paris. They still need to improve MILES for being a candidate, but this a team that always surprise. Historic one.

They need is Ana C and a backup libero, Julia B and Diana to be better next year

Quote from denzz

Brazil got it.

Congratulations

hoping Japan gets in too next year! Japan and Thailand

So either China or Japan enters?

Julia!!

If Ana C returns for Paris, hopefully the starting 6 are:

S: Roberta

OH: Julia B, Gabi

OP: Ana C

MB: Thaisa, Carol

Libero is an open slot.

Quote from Sassy

"Doing a Bergmann" - scoring by attack with less than 10% of the ball hitting the line

she should always do those sooo close the line shots. I dunno if she's lucky or thats the perks of being a Physics graduate

Julia B!!! Let's go Brazil!

She really has some lucky shots

Ace from Rosamaria! What a perfect time!

GABI!

JFC Nyeme ignored another receive!

Carol as backup setter on court lol

Can Camila Brait return? Because Nyeme is not it. Camila or Lais please

JFC, Nyeme ignored the served. Bring in Natinha

Either Camila Brait returns or Lais

GABI!

I think this qualifying is more important to Japan than Brazil. Brazil can qualify as being the highest ranked SA country

Julia B first and last point of the set 1. I think... She is really playing good. Just needs to be better at reception

Julia B is really good at crosscourt spikes and smart plays
