Not really, top teams like turkey, china, USA, Serbia has middles who can do both
Babe, you forgot Brazil who constantly produces amazing middles. But I forgive you

You will have a very nice passing but limited offensive weapon lol and we all know carlini isn't good in setting the middle 🤣
It would be a travesty if Cook and Larson play at the same time
I hope Frantti gets to be the starter. She has really improved her passing. -
Why no Lanier in the roster?
-
Somehow, USA won against DR. Lee was very productive.
-
She has never been a stable receiver. Reception has always been her weakness that's why every club she played, she was covered at reception. Now she is playing next to other bad receivers and there are noone to cover her so her weakness is more visible
She was definitely more stable than this. Something happened after VNL 2021 and she has not performed as good ever since.
-
USA’s reception is so tragic. White, Lee and SWP are struggling. I dont know whats happening to SWP. She used to be a more stable receiver.
-
Its giving TRAUMA.
-
I actually liked the USA setter
She has very good technique. What she lacks is proper decision making but she is only 16 as Avid said. -
drews/thompson are too comfortable and no one is challenging these two players to the point that they aren't even improving instead they are both underperformed this vnl.
The problem is there is a huge gap in skill after the 2 of them.
Maybe its time to put Plummer as Opp. She is a good blocker and she doesnt have to worry about reception and defense. Plus, she can hit both on the left and on the right. I believe Plummer will never be able to become an all around OH at this point of her career.

After set 1, Karch should have made adjustments quickly. Kelsey’s passing was subpar. I wouldn’t comment about her offense.
And I definitely agree about her being OH next to Micha. When they got out of system, Micha had no choice but to set Kelsey several times and of course she got blocked. Among the 4 OHs, shes the worst at hitting OOS sets. I believe USA does not need her anymore. Frantti and Lanier’s reception were stable enough. They should have been the starters right off the bat.
It was also Micha’s worst performance of the entire VNL. She played amazing from week 1 except today. And not fielding Carlini was questionable unless she was injured, which leads me to question Karch why bring someone who is injured and who is also the only backup setter?
-
If there is one thing USA should learn from this it is that they dont need Kelsey anymore.
-
Well played by Turkiye.
-
-
FRANTTI!!!!
-
And Skinner gets aced. I guess USAreally needs Larson to not retire
-
What even is the point of having Cook in the floor?
And now Karch replaces her with Skinner but its too late.

Why was Chiaka subbed?
Her knee was treated somehow iirc. The staff didnt wanna risk it.

27 attempts 6 kills and 4 errors
Cook, Lanier and Drews had very low attack efficiency during the first set, same with the Japanese players. It was a defense heavy set. Same with the 2nd set. 3rd set was when she got frustrated. 3rd set was the only set she played bad. If u watched the game, you would know this.
