more complaining about schedules.

why are some teams getting one/two days (depending on how you want to say it) off between games... while others are having to play back to back?

What did Canada do (well... Winzer deserves it maybe lol) to play Serbia on Sunday and USA on Monday?

It must be her lol

And when I checked when the next match of Thailand will be, I was shocked to find that they will have a 3-day(!!) break after their first match against Turkey. They just played one match in the Netherlands then will fly to Poland and play their second match against Poland on 27/9 night. Right after that they will have another match against Croatia at 1400 of 28/9 , that leaving them just around 12 hrs to rest between those 2 matches. What kind of schedule it is!?

Yuan still is nowhere near her best shape from some years ago, but I think she's definitely better than in VNL.

I’m not convinced, considering she faced Argentina only, but still struggled at times.

Btw, it’s so freaking weird to constantly hear whistle sounds from other courts while the ball is in play

Quote from fire_cai_bin

yes, and her club team tianjin didn't even trust her enough and hired Liu Yanhan to play opposite LYY last league...

A player isn’t trusted by her club but able to be in the 14-player list of NT

Doesn’t this Chinese back up Opp play as OH normally? Why doesn’t she receive at all while getting only a few swings? It’s like putting a random player there just to have 6 people on court.

Quote from Janko

Wow it sounds like it was a great first match of the day! Congrats to Thai girls! I couldn't watch, but it seems like Hande played a subpar match?

Should be the only great match of the day, as other matchup just doesn’t seem to be interesting at all… I’m looking forward to the JPN vs COL match tmr, hope COL can give us some surprises.

Hande just couldn’t get pass the block and score effectively, even when she was facing the shortest team in this tournament. And of course, her service error at match point was her biggest highlight

Thanks Hande

Thailand!!

Quote from Tyler

The first referee is doing so poor job

Glad that there is a challenge system

Ilkin is finally hitting like her usual days in GS after looking so good in the previous sets

These service errors again…

Quote from Tyler

Chatchu - On 31 points, 54%, that's Boskovic/Egonu type of match

And she received the second most of the serves, that’s what Boskovic & Egonu can’t do.

31 points by Chatchu-on already

Is Pimpichaya injured again? Why isn’t she starting in this set but Ajcharaporn playing as Opp instead?

Thailand has way too many service errors in this set

Thailand finally wins this set!!

Quote from bumpsetspike

imagine a two teams fighting it out to finish off a set/match and they can't concentrate because someone is constantly screaming on the other court.

It always happens in badminton tournaments and it’s extremely disturbing. I never thought it’d happen in a volleyball tournament, that is even the WCH one day

Quote from VolleyOrange

Head coach Selinger suffered from bladder cancer in the past year towards world champs

Article (can be translated)

Best wishes for his recovery, but he better stays home to have more rest and let a more capable one to take over the NT. It’d be the best for all.

Btw, it’s so ironic for him to say something like this in the interview, after Knip’s case. "To this day people, for whatever reason, have trouble approaching me and having a conversation. I try to remove those barriers or limitations ." "If that means that I have to change, I will do my best to do that,"

Quote from Olcay12

Neriman's departure from the NT has also been commented by some as Gio's fault lol

Isn’t it?

Quote from serdar

WCH starts next week, it is great time for getting in shape. Reaching peak doesn't mean for a day

Serbia won’t face a strong opponent till 1/10 against USA. She’ll have plenty of time and matches to get herself ready, instead of reaching peak half a month before that.
