Im ok with natalia's games so far. Gabu really needs to carry the team
I think since Vakifbank has Haak and good MBs, Gabi's main role is to receive and cover the court; which she has always does brilliantly.

How many points Boskovic hit cross court inside the 3 meter line? That girl is definitely the best Opp in the world.
Glad to see Natalia and Gabi playing well so far. -
Sheilla did okay when she entered the court towrds the end of the second set. Maybe she just needs more playing time to get the groove back.

this is getting off-topic, but from my experience watching diouf play in ITA NT and BRA league last season, it wasn't so hard to block her...
yeah i remember too as well. but if i am not mistaken she was the reason SESC lost as well. she was kinda on and off.
-
all these tall ladies playing in Asia must have been a nightmare to all those petite blockers there
-
Where is Diouf playing this season?
-
Zhu Ting is truly a Chinese volleyball icon. Everytime she scores the crowd goes wild. And she delivered an amazing performance for the crowd to enjoy. Tianjin golden triangle seems very deadly.
-
I don't understand what happened at this point. Did the reff called Tandara out for spiking over the 3 meter line? I thought her foot was way beyond the 3 meter line?
-
At this moment, Fabiola is better than Roberta. I wouldn't be surprised if Fabiola goes to Tokyo instead of Roberta.

It is possible. But the problem is, Brazil always has so many great duos, it is a very very tough competition and only 2 teams per country can make it.
Last time I checked Brazil had 4 duos in the Top 10. And only 2 will qualify.
Next OG cycle won't be any different. But will be interesting to watch their journey.
I am rooting for them. Mari was the reason why I fell in love with international volleyball. Watching her downfall in 2011 was a heartbreaking moment for me. Hope she will do well in beach volleyball.
-
When will the play-off start? Will Plummer make it?
-
Lyara is also better than Juma.
Ananda from Praia has also played well.
-
is it still possible tho? They are not getting any younger. I am not being ageist, but beach volleyball is more physical demanding than indoor volleyball. I wish nothing but the best for them but I am just trynna be realistic here.
-
i think not. Roberta actually plays a lot with the OH.
i was referring to her stint on NT. the connection between her and Tandara is amazing but it feels like Tandara is getting 80% of the ball.
-
Y’all talk about Juma set too much ball to Lorenne but that is exactly what Roberta has always do. 😂😂😂
-
Seems like it is a tough love from Guidetti to Ebrar. Maybe he believes so much in her, expecting so much from her, and he thinks she cannot deliver. Maybe Ebrar as OH is Gui long term plan for Turkey and Ebrar knows that. I don’t know. Just my opinion. Who knows what really happened.

OMG just saw that Amanda is the new captain of SESC-RJ. From serve substitution to team captain - Amanda has came a long way. Just curious tho, is SESC gonna be playing with Amanda-Drussyla duo through out the season? Who are their other OHs?
-
Thaisa doesn't have many friends in volleyball. I think she just doesn't care at all. She rarely goes to their birthday parties or weddings.
I have read about this somewhere else. too. But back in 2010 - 2011 she was really close to Mari.
-
Thaisa and Daroit were in a heated moment during the 5th set but they hugged it out in the end. It was an intense match and although it is not acceptable, but the trash talking in understood. It was nice to see them hug it out for a moment there. Nice touch from them.
But I see that Thaisa didn't hug or kissed Garay and Walewska. Maybe I am just looking into it too much.
-
but now that fe tome and ellen are injured, they depend on bjelica as OH even more...
i noticed that too, jaque is always pointing fingers at her teammates... sheesh, she's not the coach.
Jaque has been annoying for me. She is way over her head. She acts like she is the best player that can do no wrong most of the times.
Osasco is in big trouble. Having non-functional OHs with a setter that plays mostly on the wings is a huge disaster. Roberta really needs to step up her game. If Fabiola or even Juma out played her this season, she might be kissing Tokyo 2020 goodbye.
