Ferhat is paying close attention to Akimoto in German league
I don't think Valdes is in his radar at this point

I don't know that team very well but they're such a random bunch and the physical aspect is missing. They should at least consult with Fener

Bracchi... how is she in the NT
She ruined the 2nd set and the coach won't yank her
if they're sticking to shorties they should've gotten wada instead of bracchi
-
Imagine if Italy gets eliminated too
-
Someone has to move to OH. Wada, Valdes Hayashi can't all play OPP
You forgot Akimoto lol but yeah that's why I said Wada has the option to play as OH along with Hayashi who I would still take over Yoshino any day
-
2026 is going to look very different with Valdes addition and we will have Hayashi again. It can even be an option to make Wada play OH so that we can have both Wada and Valdes play at the same time

Can the admins just ban Copravolley22 they're only interested in what happened 200 years ago and have no intention of actually watching this current tournament. It's getting out of hand
-
Matthias is there really no chance to make Cekulaev an opp instead? she's wasted on the bench
-
It's absolutely criminal that Straube has not scored a single point yet
-
Damn wtf is happening to Poland
-
But who can blame them?
It's ridiculous even now 20 years later for MVP to not be from winning team
Takeshita herself was actually surprised by it. She wasn't even expecting any awards and it's not like she can turn it down. That would have a heavier consequence for her from JVA.
But she blocked Gamova a total of 6 times and she also had 0 errors which is what FIVB explained back then the reason for her getting the award.
-
we can laugh about it now but back then takeshita received a huge backlash from russian fans. she even talked about it for a long time thank god social media wasn't yet a thing back then
-
Well they always take it out on the most experienced players and their expectations are over exaggerated.
I don't appreciate this extremely bitchy condescending tone that you apparently made up since the one you quoted never said that.
Chika Yanagi is 185
Miina Inoue is 182
Mayu Watanabe 181
But you've always talked shit on Japanese players for being short so I'm not surprised this came from you but realize that you're fucking wrong
-
They ought to paste a cardboard of Korneluk's face onto that robotic blocking machine I'm sure it'll be a huge motivation
Korneluk and Fahr's faces

Valdes and Minowa both participated in the red and white friendly before so is it actually possible for Valdes to participate in a friendly against Poland?
it's possible if they weren't prepping for world championship
i would like to see her there even as an extra but i doubt akbas would bring her out when he could test other players. i mean their goal is not to beat poland but to find a way to avoid a blocker like korneluk -
Pool G with Germany and Poland also has Vietnam. So what's the update with Tuyen Nguyen? there are plenty of evidence showing that either they are a man or is/have transitioned and if that's the case they should not be allowed to participate.
there won't be any investigation into nguyen until something is clearly not right. fivb is slow like that so unless vietnam manages to beat poland with nguyen scoring 60 pts then you know what's up

Here's Mayu crying
oooff i cant watch that
how were they able to translate what she said in turkish -
She had power, but her vision of the court made hew play smarter. She always choiced the right shot. And her technical skills were outstanding. Nowadays opposites are beast phisically and most of them have poor or average technical skills.
Mari in her prime was even stronger as an opposite than Sheila. She actually scored almost 30 points for game.
Wada can pull a 30 too and nobody's calling her a physical player. Technical skills can vary depending on someone's build because you don't want someone overdoing it and then end up with a really bad shoulder injury that will basically end their career.
Not an opp, but Ebata had 36 pts vs China during the 2013 World Grand Prix and again nobody ever called her a physical player despite leading Japan more than Saori or Nagaoka ever did.

Wada is now signed to Top Volley
So either chance in Italy or LOVB
I think she should do the LOVB route first
