I hope it's banana lumpia!
doesn't taste good if it was bought before the start of the game since it'll be soggy, should be freshly cooked for the crispy exterior + scalding banana w/ burnt sugar. based on the thread she bought polvoron (can choke you if you eat too much) and dried mangoes.

Thai girls looks so tired(?)

No JT, No Hill. GO SERBIAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
is JT still in ECZ? if yes, then hopefully she starts, whoever wins this match will be the main OPP for ECZ.
-
if Tandara is positive the entire time, is there a chance that all BRA games will be considered a loss due to this issue? the remaining 3 teams will have a guaranteed medal? :o

Display MoreI feel like teams in Rio>>Tokyo. There are so many injuries in Tokyo, especially the starters, and many are not in good shape.
Comparing to Rio:
Serbia, only Boscovic got stronger, the rest are just older versions, so it evens out.
Brazil, same level if not weaker, main setter injured.
Italy, at least made it out of pool matches, unlike last time, slightly stronger.
Russia, slightly stronger.
USA, could be stronger than Rio if two of their main players didn't get injured.
China, two main players got injured, and it's worse for the coach coz she didn't subbed them out, way weaker than Rio.
In conclusion, weaker teams got slightly stronger, top tier teams got weaker. Only Serbia and Brazil remain their level, and they are likely facing each other in the final, a final we could've had in Rio if Brazil didn't lose to China unexpectedly.
agree, but I think the pandemic is to blame, players prepared for years like Zhu and KYK not accepting offers to play abroad in order to gel with their local athletes.

to be honest, what's missing is this game is goncharova and carol shouting / screaming / provoking at each at least once or twice through the net.
i was waiting for that but it didn't happen... sad.
She didn't even had the energy to play but she did this with Boz when she got a kill block

why are people questioning KK having a serve sub only for Hill but not with Ze Roberto for Natalia?
Is it because of the bias towards Hill over MBH (including myself) or Gabi and Fe Garay is just >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Natalia? -
I didn't expect Busato to do wonders, but damn that 15:9 lead at the 2nd set was a total choking moment for them.
The only lost that I'm really sad for today was Turkey's. For the reasons that:
1. It is not expected, plus I really have high hopes for the team (with their performance against CHN)
2. Guidetti pulled off a KK.

Egonu heavily relied on check balls (which is a hit and miss and cost them some challenges), where we know she can hit the ball cleanly. She had a bad tournament.
Hoping Serbia wins against USA, they way KK treats/ed Hill and Carlini.
