Fener's nonexistent defense making JT look like Egonu in the fifth

Quote from Sassy

If MVP isn't Bahar/Gabi or Stysiak after this...

They have been more than solid, but in case Vakifbank wins, it would be a travesty to award MVP to anyone other than Arina (and I'm saying this as a fan of hers)

LOL

Before today's match, had Zehra, like, ever, run a slide?

Frantti making sure to establish her serving specialist status early on in the season

VB what a choke....

Another great exhibition of Cansu's fine watermelon throwing setting skills

Both teams just taking turns acing each other right now

I'm a little disappointed with the match, obviously Serbia's game was at a whole new other level today, but I really wanted it to go to 5 or at least 4. Brazil though has to be extremely proud that they've achieved such good results with many young players. (Still a little heartbroken that Gabi, Carol and Gattaz couldn't get their long awaited golds)... Also their games against Japan and Italy have earned their spots in my favorite matches of all times list.

Serbia congrats!! Besides some silly errors today they played with such cohesion, unity and passion, and their defense and attack was almost outworldy. Tijana, girl, I have no words. What impressed me even more than her attack (if that's possible) was her defense. I never expected Drca to come back and be such a great contributor to Serbia's success. Stevanovic and Pusic were amazing, and the rest also played their roles to perfection. Overall, a great team performance.

I'll sure miss this tournament and the NT season in general, but I think I'm ready for club season, although I have no idea how I'll be able to follow all three of my favorite leagues at once. And at the same time I'm already looking forward to next summer

LET'S GOOOOO

Wasn't it because he said that he preferred Italy (his country and the team in which his wife plays) in the final against Serbia before the Brazil-Italy semifinal?

I can't say that Paola is one of my favorite players but damn, it would be such a huge loss for the sport if anything happened to her or if she decided not to play for the NT. It's easy to forget but she carries her team on her back at not even 24 years old, and my heart just breaks for her being blamed for the loss, any loss. She must be extremely proud of herself for all her individual and team accomplishments, and I hope she has many more Olympics and World Championships in front of her to add to them even more

I hope the final is way way way better than this....

Italy has hit God knows how many balls out or wide this set and USA will still lose it, I can feel it.

Quote from Matthias

I don't want a 4th set of THIS level

Thank God Italy spared us of that

And of course they choked away FOUR FREAKING SET POINTS

We want the Carlini from the Thailand match

Sylla has defended some crazy balls during this match and the previous one

Italy has hit God knows how many balls out or wide this set and USA will still lose it, I can feel it.

There's not a single match in this tournament involving the USA that has been high quality or even enjoyable to watch.
