Thanks for alerting me... do you see something now?

Yes

I can't see the image

2023 was a catastrophic year for Japan

Quote from Playmaker

Age should also count. For example veterans like Zhu Ting or Thaisa can decline to make way for younger players in their respective position. I mean I get why some players like KYK had to retire 500 times out of desperation but at the same time they shouldn't be held the responsibility just because the new generation isn't ready.

Someone said Zhu Ting's case is political because she has beef with their organization which is directly linked to the government

Quote from Pancake

She's the captain, the system/brain/blueprint of one of the biggest most decorated clubs in history and she's still playing at the highest level. You're acting as if she was sent to Brazilian league or LOVB to party all night long.

Also it's 2026 why are you still getting mad at players getting paid what they rightly deserve when there are football players bagging a hundred times more money for partying all night long while sitting on the bench of some third tier club in Dubai.

Wolosz also headed Imoco's summer camp after Chirichella. She was there with the kids for 2 months

Quote from sitenoise

Even if it might be Akimoto playing OP, I've always felt Wada was at risk. I'm even on record saying Wada "can't" play full time oops

I think Valdes is a better passer than most give her credit for. Not serve reception passing but 2-passing. I've been pleasantly surprised by her growth from being just a hitter. I like seeing her at the end of matches sitting with the team. But I don't think she's going to step in and be Egonu-like. Can she even be as good as Wada is now? Melissa is also secretly a little injury prone, or something

Wada has improved in floor defense but it might not matter. Either way, great to have 2 or 3 OPs to choose from, rotate about. If only Japan had the same option with OH

Is it her knees? I think it may have something to do with her body type she has the same body type as Nagaoka and we all know how that turned out. I think that could be figured out once she joins but yeah she's a total mystery whether or not she can transition properly in the NT.

Quote from sitenoise

I know it's been said before but it's just crazy to me that Wada is performing like this when she's never been a full time player in V.League. She was maybe halvses the year Lorrayna was there with NEC

What do you think about Valdes in case she does officially join them next year? it would at least take some load off Wada and she can start against mid to weaker teams except maybe Ukraine lol

China was so close to winning that 5th set oh my god

Quote from Tyler

Apparently, Kirov tore ACL

So that puts Juku and her with the acl injuries is there anyone else?

The gap is too big now and Canada looks exhausted

Quote from sitenoise

Yamada smiling ear to ear as the decoy in that combination

You cannot not love her

Imo they could still use Hayashi when Yoshino is underperforming. There's not much that could be done for Japan's middles right now. That's always been a weakness since most mbs starting in HS eventually convert to spikers.

Quote from sean1

Saori confirmed during the TBS broadcast that Kojima is still vice captain. I think there was some debate about that here about Seki being co-captain.

I thought it was Seki but either of those 2 are fine

Is Olivia staying in the league?

People used to gang up on crovolley for saying the most biased things but we still have a user here who thinks Japan naturalized Mongolian players like who? can anyone name a Mongolian player that's ever represented Japan or played in Japanese league?

I'm Filipino myself and have never heard of Japan mass naturalizing our players here except for Jaja who married Takayuki Minowa, a former JT assistant coach but she is still Filipino pride.

Same user that joked about naturalizing Malual just to trigger people because he got a kick out of everyone here trashing Imoco so he can see serdar like his comments. Toptier unemployed activities.

If it wasn't for me living in Cebu I would've gone to the matches in Pasig but it's so hard to do that right now. It's raining like crazy here in the PH. I wish I could've seen the girls play live.

Lucky inigo

Quote from Phoenix

The problem with Araki is how injury prone she is. I swear Saga middles are cursed when it comes to injuries

Now that you mention it....

Quote from Raf

Hear me out imo Sakae is better than Seki but when it comes to setting pos 2 she's so bad at it good god

She and Yoshino need to have better connection but I get why she would rather rely on Mayu instead

Hopefully Araki will return in Week 3. She wasn't seen with crutches or anything.
