unpopular opinion perhaps but countries who aren't in the top 10 in the world ranking shouldn't host. ph can't gloat about "fans" anymore when ticket sales plummeted and their expected revenue didn't even meet even half of what fivb projected
the prices of the tickets were ridiculously high for filipino fans, and for the round 16 it's 1 ticket per 1 game. it's the organizers greed at fault.
bednorz and hande??
Daalderop definitely plays better in NT than in clubs.
Congrats Oranje!
Italy could've won this in 3 sets but Mazzanti happened.
i know egonu is a queen but orro should not forget pietrini especially when she's playing well in this game
France totally contained Haak
bella is off in this 1st set, let's see if she can make a come back.
Congrats to Japan! Italy could've taken the match in 4 sets if wasn't for the 2nd set meltdown.
The last time USA won a gold was way back 2014, right?
Jaeschke is so good
Russell seems to be injured again?
He’s not even in the roster
Aaron is sick.
USA need to find OHs because DeFalco and Muagututia are still not it. TJ played well in the first two sets and became a mess in 3rd and 4th set. Garrett atleast had some good points in the decider.
Unpopular opinion:
Plummer should have been in the roster, maybe not as a starter.
USA having good players in their roster but still doesn't have a reliable starting 6 is a major problem and I blame Karch for this.
Is this Yuan's best blocking game ever?
her brother absorbed her attack lol. Lukas is playing really good in U21
is he a good prospect?
Damn Julia need to improve her attack
Brazil really needs a better a OH next to Gabi
Julia B. is there but idk why ze roberto wouldn't start/put her. she needs to get her confidence back and being on the bench will not help her.
Apparently 5 out of 6 matches that have the most number of audience are all played here in the Philippines. And that with triple increase in ticket prices. We are the clout for real. Imagine if the ticket prices were lower or the same price as last year, I bet we could fill the whole arena.
Anyway according to the fans, Canada was the most approachable team and their fan service was the best out of all 8 teams. Too bad I couldn't experience that bc CAN didn't play when I watched on Friday.
