3 setters is so unnecessary. I would've left Nakagawa and kept Airi. Don't know who Hinata is

My thing with Akimoto is that she has never seemed like she fully gets it that volleyball is a team sport. She's there to serve and spike. That's not what Japan NT is about. She's young and she will learn and all that blah blah
Maybe she hits the ball a little harder than others (without even trying) but I'm very impressed, now that Ferhat has unleashed the hounds, how hard the three main spikers are hitting when the set is less than perfect. No more wussy whacking. Wada can smack a good set at 95, easy. It's not 105 but it's good enoughMore importantly Wada (and Hayashi) know how to work their sharp angles against high blocks. We didn't really see that from Akimoto last year. I'm not even sure if that warrants the switch to OH though.
Too bad we're not getting Valdes yet since the men's team will be using de Armas already.

Damaske is already with the team. I saw picture on Szczurowska IG.
I just hope that with Obiała its only a fake rumor. She is needed for this team and there is no comparing with Stefanik.Finally Damaske

I don't mind that no-setter thing. It's trendy in Japan and Kitty's spot went viral, for whatever that's worth, and it can/could be worth it at a crucial time when Tsukasa is front row
Yamaguchi played well against Germany, don't know what happened to her yesterday. I wouldn't object to switching her out for Kinoe though.
Ameze is the best option as backup OP so I think she stays. Not sure if Hirota is ready but I'd take that switch out
I hope Iwasawa gets some timeBring Iwasawa, leave Nakagawa and Hirota. I wonder if Ferhat will consider taking Akimoto. She was horrid during the intersquad but still one of the more powerful attackers with poor reception lol

now thailand has their next 3 matches as must win
If tthey didn't win one of them at least
They are out
Thailand's next 3 games are against the CEV trifecta of infinite potential

Okay I'm ready for Antropova to destroy the Knollema-Kok-Reesink reception line with her services, can be predict the amount of aces she will score
don't forget stella markova

What is Ferhat talking about... Sakae definitely outshined Seki today especially her connection with Araki and Wada
-
Ukraine's coach finally stopped all that yelling malarkey
-
Shigihara is playing well and unphased. Hopefully Japan can recover this 3rd set otherwise it's game over for them.
-
Mayu is getting flustered
-
So glad Ukraine's blocks don't work on Wada
-
Airi and Sakae in
Tsukasa and Shimamura out
This should be interesting. I honestly had very little hope for Sakae in the NT. She's been around for so long and all her peers have retired lol. It's just weird that it's no longer Tominaga
-
The fact that it's the easiest and they still mispronounce it lol
Nothing beats Stoysisuk in Thailand
-
I don’t expect a win against Poland today.
(Reverse jinx)
No on Kurtagic or No on Koput lol

He's not a coach, he's just there for emotional support and dad jokes
An actual coach

I don't know how Germany will survive with only Weske as opp
-
So Straube was at the net, instead of passing the ball second, he tried to set it lol
a real wtf moment -
Jesus Christ Germany can't even close this set
-
That's not fair, yes she was bad but she went out at something like 7-11 and nothing improved much after that.
Imo she ruined the flow.
I don't know why Bregoli won't start Scholzel
