the diaspora reaches far and wide...
I was shocked when I found out there's a Chinese community even in Mexico.

Its just me, or chinese fans sound louder than home fans?
Definitely more vocal.
There was a larger Chinese crowd during their match against Brazil.
Yuan getting very animated!
Diao was so over, just let it go and stop complaining.
What about bongarts who only set to 4
mostly paying attention to whats going on China's side of the net.
China needs to read those sets to Dambrink better.
Diao's setting choices...
I think that's Buijs second ball into the net.
getting better bit by bit
2:00am for my area.....
China's other matches were that time for me.
This next match against Netherlands is a much better schedule for me at 8:00am in my area.
Nothing really to say about the match. Seems like they got bored and that's when errors starting creeping, on to the next one.
Chen Peiyan blocked.
The Reverend nun who founded Tzu Chi organisation is one person that I really respect and admire.
As for the NT, I think the future prospects are good...we’ve got a group of 16-22 y.o. players (born between 2000 and 2007) who are very promising....some of them appeared in the AVC cup recently. In fact, while not writing off completely this NT at the WCH, some of us think a better selection could have been picked. Anyway, now we’ll just hope and wait and see...
The prospects definitely have potential, but my worry is that the coaches don't always have the right intentions when it comes to their development.
Wu Mengjie (2002) and Zhou Yetong (2002) for example should've been playing for Jiangsu's senior team a lot earlier than staying in the youth team. Both would've been much more ready for WCH by now. Shanghai and Guangdong with Wang Yindi (2005) and Wang Yifan (2005) made the right choice to introduce them to a higher level early on. Tianjin's Wang Yizhu (2001) and Chen Boya (2000) used to be good talents, both around LYY's age, but their progress has been up and down.
interesting .... they went from allowing only 1 foreign player on court, to no restrictions at all
Shanghai must be furious since they had both Larson and KYK last year, but only one could be on the court.
Would've been nice if Guangdong had the funding's to hire foreigners to add even more to the competitive level this season. Jiangsu also should've added some too! With this no limit rule their young roster is going to be at a disadvantage against the likes of Beijing and Shenzhen.
Vuchkova and Casanova are already with the Beijing team. Just waiting for Lazovic once she's done with WCH.
