I think the reason most people here do not acknowledge Sylla’s achievement is not because of her skill but her personality lol.

This is totally FIVB’s fault. They set the rules. And if Markova’s naturalization is within the rules, then it is valid.

Hello. Is there an app where I can livestream the Olympic volleyball games in Paris?

Canada vs Japan is the best game of VNL 2024!

Quote from MeteA

It seems like, you know nothing about her. She was the MVP of NCAA İN 2022-23 season and had 1,5 season succesful career in one of best leagues in women volleyball. Especially, the point about saying, "her passing is worse than Plummer's" is just comparing apples vs pears.

First of all, her reception was improved a lot, reaching to 43% in normal league season, which was better than Alexa Gray's whose pos. reception was 34%, Derya Cebecioğlu (32%), Celeste Plak (28%) and slightly lower than Bergman, Tuğba and Busa, all having 44% positive reception. So this is not too bad and could not be only criteria for the ignorance.

Looking from attack perspective, while Vargas, Gabi, Ana Cristina, Frantti performed with 45% kill percentage, Gaila Gonzales, Alexa Gray and Jordan Tompson with 43% and İlkin, Busa & Cuttino with 42% Logan had the same with 42%, while Tuğba performed with 41%, Hande with 40%, Drewniok with 39% and Lazovic with 38%, Bergman 36% and Plak 34%.

All above mentioned names, represented their countries at some point of VNL while Logan was not called. And do you still believe in that, this is so normal because she started as OH and than moved to OPP or was playing OH at NCAA or Youth NT? Yes she moved to OPP cause Cuttino did a very bad job in many matches, lost her confidence and so the team's coach's, while fans went crazy about Cuttino's flopping performance and that is why Logan took over and did a great job. That is why, all the time we say, she really deserved the spot in her NT. Just look at Turkish NT, Ebrar's case moving from OPP to OH. Sooo, it is doable, isn't it? Actually it would be an extra option for Kiraly, to have such a player in the roster, playing succesfully in both positions.

I don't know, what will happen to her in American Pro League but one thing I was sure about that, if she was continued in Europe or had at least one year of experience in Japan, she would grow more to become one of the best. Good luck to Karch and Logan.

I am aware of her accolades. Thank you very much. But her collegiate achievements do not matter at this point. If we were to compare her to Plummer, they are equally as decorated in college. The matter still stands, Plummer’s reception is better than Eggleston’s at present.

Regarding Eggleston transitioning to playing as Opposite, I was actually an advocate of that one. But its too late for this quad. She will never be a starting opposite for Paris no matter how well she plays. She will have her chance in LA 2028. However, now that Madi Skinner has started playing for the national team most probably as Opposite Eggleston’s chances just went slimmer. Playing Opposite just comes more naturally for Madi.

Nuh I cant imagine, why would someone decline the chance of being Olympic medalist

It is because she plays as OH in the national team. Lets be honest, if she plays as OH in the national team she would be at the bottom of the barrel. Her passing is worse than Plummer’s.

Larson not playing clubs is the best for her and the team. She is not young. She is peaking at the right moment. She is just like Maja and Boskovic of Serbia. Everyone and their mothers know she is good even if she doesnt play for a while.

Regarding the setters, Poulter will always be the 1st choice. Despite her still recovering, her sets are still the best out of the 3. Im happy for Carlini for finally being an Olympian but Hancock deserved it more.

The MBs chosen were the obvious ones. However, I do agree that Ogbogu is underperforming. USA badly needs Chiaka’s blocking especially that Rettke is a bit slow. Washington on the other hand has performed well everytime she entered during the VNL. Washington also performed well in the playoffs of the club season. Im shocked that Hall is considered to be the MB alternate though and not Butler.

I didnt watch drews recently but Eggleston this season was even better than Thompson, when she played as Opp. It is ridiculous that karch invited cuttino instead of Eggleston who literally benched cuttino during club season. Karch really has his favourites and stick with them😒

I think Eggleston personally declined the offer. She organized or was a part of a volleyball camp.

I kinda had a hunch that Frantti will be left out after Skinner’s latest performances. USA will most likely start with Cook and Larson for a more stable reception to replicate the Larson-Bartsch duo in Tokyo. If Larson struggles with offense, Plummer can come in and then Skinner.

USA might also start with Cook and Plummer ala Imoco. If Plummer struggles, Skinner can come in. Larson can be a serving and backrow sub like what Hill did in Tokyo.

I would definitely miss Frantti’s energy though. Sometimes what a team needs is an energizer inside the court and Frantti is exactly that.

I have read that Rettke has made an agreement with Eczacibasi. How true?

I think Brie and Van ryk have a rough connection.

Stysiak's sports agent, Roberto Mogentale, says that: “The information about Magda's departure from Fenerbahce is just rumours”

https://przegladsportowy.onet.…czy-bym-to-zrobil/zgwpf85

I seriously believe Stysiak wanted out but Vargas decided to play in China so Fener kept Stysiak

Its unfortunate that Gabi Garcia did not have a good season.

Quote from VBdiamond

Maybe the Olympic roster will be released sooner than expected. The men's roster is out already.

I really dont believe that roster at all. Its too early. Maybe decide after the VNL?

Quote from usa_fan

Spicing this up, since it’s been a while here. To me, based on the 2023 OQT performance and their current physicial conditions shown at foreign leagues, Plummer, Robinson and Carlini are locked in…

I dont think Carlini is locked. Both she and Hancock had very mediocre club season. But more so with Carlini. If Poulter remains healthy until Paris Olympics, she would be the main setter. I wont be mad if they bring Poulter and Carlini to Paris though. The locked ones are most probably Plummer, Cook, Ogbogu, Rettke, Frantti, Wong Orantes. I think Larson will be the 4th OH aka Kim Hill in Tokyo. The 3rd middle will be a fight between Butler and Washington.

Does anyone know what Arina's salary is at Fenerbahce? Chinese media said she would receive around 350k$ in Shanghai, and Tainara 220k$

So its confirmed Arina is going to Shanghai and not Tianjin?

Quote from Rhaemon

There is such thing as a "phase" in someone's life. Or bisexual people. If there's smoke, there's fire kind of thing. Hahaha

What suprised me more is the guy being Courtney's ex. And that some of their photos together are still up in Courtney's insta.

Well, after all that Sander/Tapp fiasco, I am not surprised by anything anymore

Quote from denzz

Also to add, When Ekrem İmamoğlu was mayor of Beylikdüzü, they also built Beylikdüzü Vİ and they compete in Sultanlar Ligi. Now that he is mayor of İBB, it would make sense if they buy the rights.

That Beylikdüzü team was fun with Kelly Hunter, Annie Drews, Simone Lee, Deniz Uyankık, Bahar Akbay etc.

Oh I remember this team. They were fun to watch.

Quote from KVB

Did I miss anything? But it seemed Michieletto didn’t greet or even give a look at Haak when they received the MVP awards together

Does Michieletto have a girlfriend? Maybe just trying to avoid contact with another girl Bella is gorgeous ya know.

Just you wait. In a few years, American league will be stronger than both the Turkish and Italian leagues We can end the argument now.
