Display MoreDue to some circumstances, I am late 1 day in watching the matches, so while I haven't yet watched todays' with Kazahstan, I watched the one against Germany, so some thoughts on the first 3 matches
It's very difficult to generalise much because the matches with Bulgaria and Germany were so utterly different, and not just in lineups. What didn't work against Bulgaria (and many things didn't) was either working great or was much better against Germany, But it's clear that the single biggest flaw is the lack of good blocking. Stevanovic was the only one who was semi-consistent in that department, and while Tijana and Bojana did a decent job of it with Germany, it's still frustrating how limp and ineffective our block often is.
Maja Aleksic is clearly very nervous and scared, and affects not only her rhythm, but also makes her very clumsy-looking from time to time. But the "champion" in clumsiness is definitely Brankica: girl looks like the NBA stars after they got their talents stolen in the original Space Jam. Aside from spiking form, everything else looks like some random girl who has never seen volleyball court got pulled off the street. And it's visible from her body language how much it is killing her to make so many and such clumsy-looking mistakes (the amount of times her head dropped in defeat after an error in the last 2 matches would be funny if it wasn't sad). She always made a certain number of terrible-looking errors, but that didn't affect her self-confidence. Now that confidence is non-existent.
While Busa had much fewer points against Germany, her % were still great for anyone's standards, let alone hers. I really, really hope she can keep that her form against Germany until the end of the competition (because it would be too much to ask for any more such performance as against Elitsa & Co.)
what’s your thoughts on how Tijana looks ? I think she’s in the best shape I’ve ever seen her in.
-
This refs are ridiculous
that was really stupid tbh
-
Man I really don’t want Serbia to lose to the usa but I’m worried 😭
-
Carlini is starting over Poulter..... pls dont be an injury
i doubt it
-
But you only have Popovic left
pls don’t remind me
-
Stevanovic has been a liability and I’m gonna keep saying it till she does something
-
stevanovic is a liability
-
Lozo - Busa as locked OH duo, if we start against USA with different lineup, i swear that i will cheer against them.
same. Lozo is incredible
-
Buša has been rock solid
-
How many times does lozo need to come in for Brankica before she starts
-
why not? about time
she doesn’t have the personality for it at all and she already has enough pressure on her
-
Did he really call Tijana "Bojanovic"?
that’s like the third time this sake announcer has done it this tournament
-
Mihajlovic starting again!!!
Big dislike for Santarelli and this decision.
i hate this….
-
bosko is captain now?
yea and I do not like that choice at all
-
The Netherlands looked really Impressive to me
-
Alexa probably wont even receive lol
Kelsey and MDG have passed two before and they probably will again
He lets Mihajlović pass in all 6 rotations lmaooo. I think he’ll let gray pass
-
I wouldnt mind federation "protections" being brought in for the non-CEV teams.
like i dont wanna watch USA play Canada again... or all of the CSV teams in one pool
agree.

LOL
Boskovic played with Mirkovic today. Bjelica played with Drca, This is big difference.
also Tica did not have anywhere near her best game but she still scored 22 points lol and some of y’all are advocating that Serbia is worse with her ? 22 points in 5 sets would be a good/decent day for most opposites in the world. We just hold Tijana to super high standards that she has set for herself
