In Amanda's case I really don't want to comment about it because she has proven that she's not NT material.
Ouach! That's harsh. I agree her reception is sometime shaky and her back row defense is weak. But I wouldn't say she's not a NT material.

IMHO as a fan of Brazil... They don't look as invincible as you think they are. Neither against China or even Turkey. That's a little disrespectful to both teams.
I'm not disrespecting China or Turkey. What I mean is Ze needs to find out what cause the recurrent inconsistency of his players. They played like a well oiled machine or a Swiss clock during the two first games. But in the two last games (especially the third game), they looks like they just got out of the bed. Roberta made lot of silly mistakes and Tandara had lot of difficulty to backcourt spike (her speciality). Even the commentators kept asking what happened to them. If they fought like when they were in the two first games but still lose to the opponents, we can say the opponents are too strong. But now, the Brazilian players are so inconsistent that we are reluctant to bet on them even when they play against a very weak team (Germany).
Brazil almost did it again this season with Jaque.
Her situation is not the same. Because she just came back from the maternity leave.
About Japan: I don`t think anyone is talking down on them and saying they don`t deserve this or that, but I a lot of people does not like the fact that Japan is always hosting major tournaments. Like they hosted the WCH 2006, 2010 and now again in 2018 ( not to mention they are hosting the Olympics as well)... and they host the World Cup every time ...
+ World Grand Prix 2005, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2014 and all World Grand Champion Cup
I am sorry to tell you this but most of the tournaments they play, they don’t deserve it. They just but it which is not fair. In the past, they had good squad which brought quality but most of the time, they just paid to be in the finals or in the tournament.
Totally agree. They get their ticket most of the times just because they are the host, nothing more. IMHO, the host should be among the top 5 or from a team who was in the podium last tournement.
Ze needs to find out ASAP what causes the inconsistency of his players. One day, they play like in the final of 2008 or in 2012. But next day, they play like a bunch of noobs. IMHO, they shouldn't lose to Turkey and to China.
What's wrong with brazil... They played flawlessly the two first games and then everything goes downhill.
Brazilian players are so erratic today. Only Gabi is playing great.
It's obvious Brazil and China try to avoid USA in the SF.
Yes please.. do you have some links for the match?
If you're still looking for a link
copy this in the VLC player (click on "Media", then click "Open network stream", copy/paste link and press play )
Sloetjes is really hot with her hair style. I like it.
The 1st and 2nd set USA played awful and at the moment I thought they won gold medal by accident. I do know they didn't win gold medal of WCH by accident. But their game against Turkey NT made me think so if they didnt win 3rd set and Kiraly would be into trouble
The US team are always the same. They shine during the preliminary rounds. But they choke for the final.
tbh, i'm ok with the Turkish team screaming. But Ebrar needs to control her anger before she get into a fight with somebody.
Can anyone post links to the matches today please. USA vs Turkey.
If you have VLC player, copy this in media stream (click on "Media" and then click on "Open Network stream...")

Boring game They don't even care to substitute players. It's more a training session than a real match.
NED vs TUR will be very interesting in many ways.
Cool! Do you see the China/Brazil game available there? It's still a still photo for me, no timestamp
Same
IF EU was a country, what would be the roster and who would be the coach?
can someone post ITA x SRB?
Among the four strong teams (China, Brazil, Serbia and USA), Serbia is the only team wasn't beaten by a weaker team as host. The lunatic who had bet on Germany defeats Brazil must be very rich now.
