Sheila- already a ghost of herself before she left the game.. But nobody knows what her form is like right now..
Suellen- Don't Brazil have a in shape libero?
Fabiana- She's still a great player and any NT would be lucky to have her, though Brazil have very high level MB's already without her.. And I want to see Macris-Carol Gattaz in NT. 
How many chances are there to qualify for Olympics?
I am really pessimistic about their chances vs. Italy in upcomming Olympic qualifiers.
What is the road after that if they don't make it?
Pietrini again with over 50% in attack
Amazing. I love that young Italian talents are allowed to make mistakes and the coach keeps them on.
Morrison would never let Daalderop play an entire match to develop.
all balls going to Buijs and Daalderop. Sloetjes invisible.
I like this line-up for the Netherlands!
Daalderop and Buijs as Outside hitters duo and Bongaerts at the setting position.
I am glad they lost the 1st set after taking out Nika
What went wrong 
Week 4:
S: Bongaerts,Dijkema
OH: Plak, Balkestein-Grothues, Buijs, Jasper, Daalderop
OP: Sloetjes
MB: Belien, Lohuis, Koolhaas, Timmerman
L: Knip, Schoot
OMG I love that Timmerman is still there. She has really played well.
I like this face off between Kelsey and her former Vakif teammates.
Lowe is used to Wolosz sets. 
Hui Ruoqi retired due to heart problems. Xu Yunli retired due to ankles. Yang Fangxu retired due to leg. Pretty much all of them are best players/prospects in their positions for China.
Xu Yunli was my favorite Chinese player. At least she is 31. the other 2 girls were still in their 20s
Yuan Xinyue is really on fire this VNL tournament btw. I also like Yan Ni but indeed China could use new young MB.
runnerupster who is that coach? Whose name was pronounced wrong?
Karch and Ogbogu
KYK's fans are delusional, she basically just played one good match during the final series, and they were all like "queen is back", lmao
During Olympics 2012 she had as much impact as Zhu Ting. Now she has impact of Rosamaria.
i am excited about next week in Germany. They should go 3-0.
Meijers showed past week she is better as OPP than Baijens at this moment.
How did Italy manage to lose a set?
PS: Anyone know what exactly Morrison's family issue is? When is he gonna be back? Thanks.
Morrison is in NL training with the girls that did not travel to HK.
Will Jaque play next season?
thats going to be rough against A team of Italy, China, and Japan. Lol
The young Dutch team didn't do a bad job this week. But they didn't reward themselves. They should have won against Brazil and take the third set against Poland. Too many unforced errors. But it was a good chance to gain some experience!
Only thing I ask for in week 3 is an opposite to join. 2 weeks without an opposite is long enough.
Credit to Marrit Jasper who is playing much better in wk2 of VNL.
Hoped Baijens or Meijers would show such improvement but dont see it.
Dijkema is captain and veteran on court and during crunch time she is the first to fold like a cheap tent.
Ana Beatriz touched that ball. Gross
