    I know who did it. It was crovolley


    I remember one time he said "what Turkey would do without that Bosnian Girl". ...till then I had no idea Meliha was Bosnian.


    We all know he does not like Turkey Volleyball.


    He alerted FIVB about this issue.


    (of course I'm joking 😀😘)

    I hope next year Japan won't be doing things like this... 😅 I hope Mihajlovic, Boskovic and Blagojevic are double checking their papers right now...

    This game won't be good as I expected. I feel like China will want to crush Turkey into pieces to make a statement, because the players and Lang Ping does not have anything to do with this. They probably feel bad and even ashamed this happened.


    ;(

    I don't want to believe Chinese Federation would do that. Of course it is just weird it became a problem just now after many years.


    I just hope Meliha is allowed to play, but in any case the Turkish Federation is right they should simply protest and don't play at all. But if they did make a mistake shame on them.


    I'm just glad Serbia is not playing in China, as they would probably dig into something and find a problem with Boskovic or Mihajlovic's license too 🤠

    I don`t think Natalia should play....that`s crazy. Even if Brazil can`t qualify now, they can and would easily qualify against Argentina in January.


    Brazil has so many players returning and injured that is hard to picture who will be in Tokyo.


    C.Brait said she would never return and even her husband got involved. I`m glad she`s back, she`s incredible talented....but that`s why u never say never.

    I believe DR can beat Brazil, but I would not surprised at all if they end up loosing for Azerbaijan.


    Anyone knows Azerbaijan`s roster? With Rahimova, Kulan and Mamadova I believe they can challenge Brazil and especially DR.

    I love China and Zhu, but I want Turkey to win this one so bad. The level in Tokyo would be so much higher with Turkey instead of (sorry Kim) Korea or Thailand.


    But without Meliha and a not fully recovered Hande.....:mad:Hopefully Fatma can pass well and Hande & Ebrar have a nearly perfect night. Cansu getting the middles involved, especially Eda will be crucial.


    Well, against China you gotta do everything well... still keeping my fingers crossed.

    Isn't it a bit awkward to pick 3 opposites for only 3 matches then? Especially when Gözde Yilmaz was a bench player all season and Meryem Boz had a terrible season with her club. This all sound worse when they happened after Gözde is transferred to Vakifbank.


    Ps. I prefer Gözde Yilmaz over Meryem Boz.

    Unless he was hiding his game and will use Ebrar as OH against China.

    I feel bad for Savic, but I`m glad Terzic is taking Lazovic over here because at the end of the day there`s Rasic and hopefully Stevanovic, and giving Lazovic the chance to be with the senior team is more important than having a 4th middle.

    In the Olympics usually only 3 middles make the final roster.

    And they will play only 3 matches, of course a injury can happen at anytime, but I think having Eda,Zehra and Kubra only might be the best thing for now. Gui did not even give Yasemin and Asli enough playing time for them to find they space and make a impression.


    While he is still trying to figure out what he can get from Yilmiz and Boz.


    edit: Terzic is also taking only 3 middles.

    Knowing how Ze is... When Sheila comes back, Tandara will be on a extremely short leash, as soon as she makes a mistake he will send her to bench.

    Vasilantonaki, but i would like to see Merteki. merteki has played as opp in the season 2016-2017 and has better stats in greek league than hippe and the others opps. also vasilantonaki cannot be worse in reception than her.

    Greece should use Vasilantonaki as OH. She played in Italy as OH and did really well, she was one of the best scores of the league while receiving the most. Next season she will play OH for Galatasaray.

    But, Dutch team has a good chance to qualify for OG in January-tournament :) I'm quite confident they will !

    They have a good chance but I would certainly not be all that confident. They will all have to return from their clubs to play this tournament, which means they won`t be at their best as a team. On the other hand the Turkish team will be mostly playing together in Vakifbank with Guidetti......I would certainly give Turkey the edge here....of course I`m just assuming China will qualify next week, but if Turkey pulls the upset then for sure Netherlands will be the favorite ( or not if Poland or Korea pulls a upset as well).

    I`m not worried about Italy. Keep in mind last year Sylla did not even play much during VNL, Guerra actually played more than her.


    I think C.Bosetti is tired, what was the point of her playing Mountreux? ...... With Scandicci she played even against C.Italia and Schreiwn.....not necessary at all.


    Mazzanti did a amazing job last year.....but this year I don`t like a lot of things.....overusing Egonu and L.Bosetti, sending A team to VNL finals...and so on.


    I don`t think Italy should be thinking of who is gonna replace L.Bosetti, they have enough players to built a different team with a different style of play for every Olympic Cycle, with players such as Pietrini, Populini and of course they will still have C.Bosetti.
