So I bought tickets for the final tomorrow earlier this week, hoping that the Dutch would reach the final.
I am very sad they won't be there, but after watching the match between POL-TUR, I am looking forward to watch the final as a neutral spectator
I was able to watch the game live in Apeldoorn 
Schoot and Beliën did a good job. Dijkema was the weak link today. De Kruijf didn't help the team as she did in last two matches. Plak did a pretty job when she came in, not outstanding, but just ok. Jump serve was on point.
Are there any possibilities that the Netherlands will face Germany in semi final?
Meijners receiving as opposite instead of Buijs. De Kruijf continues what she did yesterday, playing good in attack and block
then you haven't watched much volleyball at all, I have seen players cheating, tricking referees, getting physical, calling players hurtful names.
Ebrar just screams when winning the point lol, how disrespectul and rude. She is so passionate that I think she must be the rudest and worst human ever, except when I watch a match thats not volleyball like tennis, football, basketball etc. Then idc and its passion.
logic
There you go: a yellow card for.... Karakurt!
Wow Ebrar Karakurt is the most disrespectful player I've ever seen
any other link? The two links are not working for me.

Wow I didn't expect that. Good decision imo. I hope they'll find someone who brings some energy like Guidetti had
The problem is that both Oude Luttikhuis and Jasper are not even close to Buijs' level. So there isn't any good backup available
Dutch Volleyball Federation officially announced their candidacy for European Qualifiers in January today.
They said that one of the reasons to organize is home advantage that the Dutch will have
mihajlovic and egonu are error machines.
Especially Mihajlovic serves in this match
Wow Bongaerts really needs how to serve in. This is pathetic
Plak, it's your time to shine
This is scary as I posted the same words at the same moment haha
Plak it's your time to shine
I hoped for more than a 3-0 win from Italy.. De Kruijf played a very good game and so did Bongaerts. First I thought Dijkema injured herself, because it was the first time Bongaerts played multiple sets as a starter in such an important game. But it seems it was Morrison's choice and I think that's good.
I noticed that Buijs' reception has improved a lot. It isn't as shaky as it was before. She and Plak had a good impact on the game. Knip couldn't make any difference today. Balkestein once again was a ghost at the net, she's only useful in service reception. Good thing that Morrison brought in Daalderop for her. What worries me the most is Sloetjes' performance, she did good against Belgium and seemed to have her form back, but she was nowhere today. Hope that she will find her joy in volleyball back in Scandicci and will play again like she did in WC'18.
Can a libero be the captain?
Kirsten Knip used to be the captain in Ladies in Black, so at least in Bundesliga it is allowed. Maybe also on international level
As I don't want to write it down, here is a screenshot I made. This is the type of messages she is receiving now..
Dutch libero Knip got the same kind of messages in her IG DM (from the same user) 
I wonder if and when Femke will make her comeback to the team
Yvon Beliën just started following Galatasaray on Instagram. The rumours might be true
Sooo I finally got to watch the matches from the first week + the one vs. Brazil yesterday live.
First of all I'm impressed by MB duo Timmerman/Lohuis. Timmerman is doing really well, especially the blocking part. Lohuis is already a stable factor in the team with a gooood serve
About the Jasper-sisters; Marrit is doing okay this week, but she obviously lacks height. At this moment she is not able (yet?) to use the block like for example Balkestein does it. Her sister Hester is even shorter, but promising. I like the energy on court of both!
I am far from convinced by Baijens. She showed like nothing in 4 matches. Ofcourse she need more OPP-experience, but it doesn't look promising to me. I would go with Meijers if I was Morrison. She is doing a good job so far. I don't have a opinion about the other new ones as I did not see enough of them.
If Daalderop remains healthy I see a bright future for her in volleyball! She knows how to kill a ball and is really strong in attack. Oude Luttikhuis, after 4 years with NT, finaaaallly shows what she's capabele of. She's doing okay but def not comparable to Daalderop.
The libero's are doing their job, nothing special there. Dijkema is doing her job also well, ofcourse the team needs time to get set to eachother. Can't wait to see the Dijkema-De Kruijf and Dijkema-Sloetjes attacks. I hope Stoltenborg will get some matches to prove herself, and Bongaerts to improve further, she is THE next setter for NT
Knip is the only change that is made by Morrison
At least I expected Beliën to be in the roster, because she finished club season a while ago and already was training with the group. With this roster they have no chance against Brazil and probably neither against Poland. I think it's not fair for the supporters. He could at least have said it earlier that he isn't going to play with the best roster.
+1. I will be there tomorrow and this is really disappointing. Where can I found the roster for this week?
