Why does Poland have so many good outsides disappear or regress?
2014 they win WC with Mika, he disappears from NT
2018 they win WC with Szalpuk, he disappears from NT
Sliwka is now regressing!?

Interesting thread, hearing the first talks about one of the greatest opposites who went on to have a great career!
Japan and Nishida's mouth are indeed very overrated. Watch VBW not give a damn about this competition at all and continue milking Ran's whitepassing existence while he achieves nothing other than win 12 year olds hearts.
What is whitepassing?
Whos gonna tell the Vbtv announcer that his name is Rinaldi not Ronaldo…
Was Federov a good libero on Russia I did not pay much attention to him. Cianciotta gives me such a good vibe on the court, seems like hes intense but fun.
Yes, Italy will easily defeat Poland without Gierżot (they'd be heavy favorites regardless to be honest) and Russia should outplay Argentina, which hasn't played any good so far (a bit lucky that the other half of a draw was probably better, so they narrowly defeated Czech Republic and advanced). I don't think Italy will choke in a final the way they did a year ago, but we will see. If there's any upset, maybe Argentina against Russia, but it'd be a bold prediction tbh.
First and foremost, this tournament lacks any momentum, so I hope we'll get something to remember tomorrow and on Sunday. It's pretty weak level-wise for now and there were like 3-4 games that mattered only with some emotions so far.
Which player is Gierzot, was he injured? Also Italy losing to Poland currently, Rinaldi subbed.
If the setters were really great i could understand the height. For exampple Darlan isnt tall but really good.
But any of those setters are great.
Many outsides as well are considered short around 190cm but have been also considered best in the world like Kubiak and Ishikawa, height isn’t everything.
Why is Canada losing so bad every set, every single hitter is in the negatives on their stats, but the setters are actually pretty good.
I didn't watch a game, but according to stats, Canada committed 40 (!) errors in 3 sets against Brazil. They literally gave majority of points to Brazil with their errors, I don't know what was the last time I saw something like that.
Why is it that Canada and USA make so many errors in international volleyball?

After winning against Russia, they could have been number 1 in the group and reach even to semis. However the losses against Netherlands and especially Finland made win over Russia meaningless. Losing at tiebreaker is always painful to watch but with this results turkey missed WCh participation for next year, which means there's no national competition for them besides European League in 2022. Turkey won European League already multiple times. This new team desperately needed to play in WCh. It could have been a great experience for our youngsters.
As mentioned before, our setter is terrible. They missed Aslan ekşi a lot. Also our trainer is a joke for this level. It is literally like trainer of Polish female team🤦 I think libero was also very problematic as expected
Adis was kinda disappointing. He didn't play bad but after his great season in Serie A, expectations were high from him. Efe mandiraci was the revelation of the tournament. I hope Efe bayram would get the other starting oh position soon. It seems like Burutay will get 'injured' whenever it comes to NT season anyways
What is the female Polish trainer like?
What are all the Italian volleyball players reposting on instagram? Volleyball with a knife and blood in it. What does it mean?
There must have been something wrong with Kubiak this olympics. He is usually the heart of the team but in this tournament barely played and when he did he was insignificant.
Stats after Prelims
Volkov with 14 blocks as an outside!? I did not realize he got that many when watching Russia.
Who will Poland’s rightside be after Kurek retires?
Why didnt Kubiak play against Iran?
Are the olympic stats wrong? They say Nick Hoag and Ben Tara only touch 340cm which is low for their height and athleticism. Volleybox also says Ben Tara touches 369cm.
Why does Mauricio Borges wear a mask while he plays?
I know this is an outdated question, but why did Antonin Rouzier retire from the national team so young?
What do you guys think of #21 setter on Serbia?
