she's the most politically/vocally active member of the US NT. (anti ICE, pro Palestine, anti racism, etc)
thanks. I don’t follow much social media these days. Has Kelsey been active on these elements? I remember she was calling out for some stuff years back before the genocide but as soon as things got serious she went silent and I unfollowed her at some point. She probably wants that nazi adidas money.
jordan thompson they will never make me not stan you.
Could you please elaborate?
TVF not offering a platform for international fans is just pathetic
Y’all are exaggerating is all I am going to say lol
Disagree. They also had a decent result in current VNL when they made it into final8. They sucked during this tournament but they were fine in the previous ones.
well, I disagree as someone who is Turkish. I don’t think just one decent performance at a major tournament should give such advantage to a team. The older version was the opposite, only favoring the top teams. If, let’s say Korea plays in VNL next summer and beats a few teams, they would gain major points and would get a Olympic ticket. Would that be fair? Or if Turkey gets it with their current standing, would that be fair? No.
Bardarov had a very promising season in Turkish League. I believe I made a comment about him on some topic, he has a lot of potential and has great body for this particular sport, just needs a little bit encouragement and more experience.
If anyone knows, why is Joris Seddik not called up for France national team? I remember he was the starter with Le Goff in Giani's first year as France coach, then got injured. Then after that, he was not called up again?
he was injured during club season so maybe still not ready.
I loved watching Finland. I am not that familiar with them, except Olympic qualification tournament in which they almost made it to Paris 2026 out of nowhere, at least for me. I hope to they can win a medal this ECH. They will be a great addition to VNL.
Very unlucky from Turkiye. Even without Mandiraci, they had a very solid campaign at the last VNL and their first ever Final phase qualification.
Berkay is a big loss, he was very consistent through the whole summer. Did he get injured during the match against Germany? If I’m not wrong, I saw him at the beginning of the match.
I am not sure when it happened but he was bad against Germany. Commentator said today that he has some injury with his hip.
Honestly, this is their usual level considering all those years of failures. Just because they had a good campaign last VNL doesn’t mean they are a top level team. They have to show more consistency in order to achieve that.
Why was also Derya Cebecioğlu in Sofia for the volleyball match Bulgaria - North Macedonia ? Can there be one more balkan couple except Hena-Alex and Uzelac-Moni ? Probably some bulgarian player who plays in Turkey ?
Bardarov
I do think if boskovic plays VNL this year and next unfortunate as it is for her that they will be in a much better spot mentally and ranking wise because she can win by herself against mid teams and steal ranking points from already qualified top teams who don’t play a full squad. As tragic as they have been recently I still do think we have talent to be a good team so hopefully winning some games and building confidence helps. A win tmrw over Poland will be a big help and good start if they manage
would have, should have, could have.
I guess we still have to wait for the high level match we were waiting for.
Something’s off. I don’t feel like I am watching Maja.
Regardless of the result, I’d like to say Santa did a bad job managing this squad this summer. He used a different team at the start and then went back to his usual starting six minus Eda. Subbing Yaprak for service here and there or throwing Cansu into court after treating her like trash all summer are not good coaching. I wish Cansu would take a summer off. And if Santa is soooo into Elif’s mid at best level setting, he should take her to Imoco. I don’t even want to start with the fact that he trusts Saliha to be the first sub for Hande and Ilkin lol
anyway, hope we will get to see exciting semi finals and a final.
Also, would be hilarious if Turkey and Italy would end up playing for third place after all looool
You guys are aware delulu is Serdar, right???
Why haven't Ukraine used this sub OPP against Turkey then Tupchii was awful?
Yes, the biggest Polish diaspora lives in Chicago.
I must have read something related to this, whether it was here or somewhere else, I am not sure. Still, great and lively crowd Poland.
I guess there are a lot of Polish descent people in Illinois and they all are here to support Poland in Chicago
Maar seemed annoyed in the first week, especially during time outs, or at least he seemed that way to me.
this one is completely not on Szczygłowska, c’mon
I am not blaming anyone. It just happens quite often.
