If you can't stop Lippmann, at least stop Orthmann
They cant even stop Hanke's attacks right now,much less Lippmann or Orthmann...

The replay clearly showed that there was no floor touch...Of course it was a ball difficult to recover for Germany and it would most likely end up in a Ned point.But then Maybe NED shouldn't have given up a good 15-9 lead they had in order to win the set...They chocked so hard in the middle of this set almost as if they wanted to lose on purpose!
NED just gave up a 15-9 lead and are now trailing 16-17...
Orthmann and Weitzel not on their best day so far....
Just yesterday I watched one of Germany's matches during the WCH and I can say wow!They've improved so much since then!!
Let's go Germany!!
I watched the entire Chinese League and I don't understand.MBH was Beijing's top scorer in most of the matches (I also think she was their top scorer overall,but I'm too bored to go and start counting lol) and her passing was improved compared to,let's say 2018 WCH.I'm not saying she had the best season of her career. But she was her team's go-to-hitter.Besides you cannot predict how someone's gonna perform in a team judging by their performance in another team,with different setters,teammates,opponents etc. If she'll fit Vakif's system, that remains to be seen.
Nootsara got injured,fingers crossed it's something minor
Maybe I'm being pessimistic in order not to be too disappointed later, but I don't really see Germany beating either Poland or Netherlands tomorrow Both are very physical teams, tall and powerful, and that's always hard to handle for Germany. But then, at ECH without Orthmann and with Poland playing at home, we took them to 5, so who knows...
Against the NED i think they have more chances,no?Sloetjes' condition is not known,but she didn't show great things in the game she played either... Lippman-Orthmann-Geerties seem to be a more stable and productive trio than Meijners-Buijis-Daalderop and Hanke has been better than Dijkema as well... The only part I think NED has a slight advantage are the MBs....
I hope Polland doesn't give the match to AZE...I want them and Germany in the final!
For a team with average at best players in nearly every position,who can barely block and makes quite a few errors,Belgium surely pushed Turkey to the limits.Congrats girls!Congrats to Turkey for making it to the semifinals!
Belgium better thank Herbotts and Hande for this set
I really hope BEL keeps up the good work and minimizes the errors....I've lost count on how many times they just let the ball drop in front of their eyes!
Van de Vyver remembered that she has to set more balls to Herbotts 2 sets too late...
I think it will be too obvious if Poland lose on purpose to avoid Turkey.
The passion and enthusiasm the Turks are showing are admirable but the noise from the crowd especially their booing when the Belgians are serving/scoring not so much...
Belgium shows some pockets of brilliancy but they need more consistency and Van de Vyver has to improve her sets...
At least 8 of Turkey's 16 points right now must be blocks...
I really hope Belgium wakes up soon, otherwise this match will be very short...
Germany played the 3rd set entirely with the bench +Weitzel and they still swept Croatia.
