Calling Ivanovic a mediocre player is funny.

Anyway people can come for Serbia as much as they want. I know it’s easy to kick a team when they are down and plus it must be nice to finally see them below some of your favorite teams. We will be back and stronger than before. Regardless of this mess of a VNL I believe in our girls and that at fully healthy with the return of Maja Tijana and Uzelac at world championships we will field one of the strongest line ups in hopes to win a third straight world championship. No matter what I’m proud to root for these girls and am still excited for next week at VNL and for world championship!

It’s funny because Iman was not a good player in the ncaa she was just okay except kinda good in her last season. She looks way better than she ever did at ucla lol

I said Serbia most likely can't win against Poland with even Boskovic as long as Uzelac won't be there, that's why it was wise not to risk Bosko. And you replied that Serbia doesn't need Boskovic, but any decent contribution from opp is enough to beat Poland. Thats what I was pointing out. And Poland didn't even have their 3 key players.

How are injuries of Uzelac and Ivanovic by the way? Will they be back for 3rd week?

wtf ??? I literally never said they would beat Poland with contribution from Opposite. I said the lack of that is a massive reason they have lost to the bad or medium teams in close games. They weren’t going to beat Poland without Boskovic lol. It’s unfortunate that Bukilic chose to compete against a team that would beat us anyway unless we had full strength team for a good game. Where did I say we would beat Poland with opposite production ? We would have beat the USA or Canada for example with better play there

Yesterday bukilic played well and contributed as much as any good Opp (44% attack with 18 points, as best scorer of her team is pretty good indeed) also Perovic was starter in last two games, so what's next excuse?

you are so obsessed 😭 we need an “excuse” for losing a very close game to Poland missing Boskovic, Kurtagic, Uzelac, AND Ivanovic had to leave the game with injury when she was playing fantastic. The point is if Bukilic played like that against a team that wasn’t Poland we absolutely would have taken some victories. (Also we were missing Hena in this match) Serbia just can’t catch a break with bad luck on top of bad play as well but yesterday they finally fought they were just too outmatched playing fourth string options at multiple positions.

Aleksic deserves a mention. She was fantastic all week and tried so hard. So so good I’m sorry the team couldn’t get a win for her

It would be funny if Boskovic comes back next week and the other players who gained experience this week are more ready and Serbia goes 4-0 beating Italy and Turkey lol

Quote from Steven12453

Oh wait. Is really Serbia in danger of being relegated?

no because Boskovic is back next week and Belgium is on their schedule and Britt today said she isn’t going to week 3. As funny and bad as this has been Belgium without Herbots beating Serbia with Boskovic is simply impossible. Czechia is also a likely win but that one is certainly not locked up the way the Belgium match is

My heart is gonna break if we lose this fourth set. They are trying so hard and they are down so many players to injury

Quote from Matthias

The physio is treating her on the bench if I saw it right.

so we are down Uzelac Boskovic Ivanovic Kurtagic LMAO. What did we do to the world

THOSE SETS BY BRANKA TICA

this sub makes absolutely 0 sense. Ivanovic has been stellar in the back row but you put Dangubic in for her so you have no sub for Milenkovic.

wait why isn’t Ivanovic back in the front row???

Quote from Cofi

Where was this Bukilic for 2 weeks???

our record could look DRASTICALLY different if she would have just played DECENTLY in some of these matches. That’s how small these margins are with all these 5th set losses

Quote from Cofi

Those 2nd ball no double touch rule is really ridiculous

I like it still. Much more rallies and athletic quick reactions

Kirov!!

okay if there is anything positive to take away from this VNL it’s Ivanovic is learning and growing right in front of us. She can do some absolutely INCREDIBLE things. I can’t wait to see her next to Boskovic and Uzelac. Her passing is good enough and that can be a monster trio at world champs

Pusic is disappointing. She was really good last VNL even. What happened

Please put Dangubic in for Milenkovic….

Also Osmajic isn’t doing bad but if Hena isn’t hurt I want her to play for her block

Milenkovic isn’t even doing bad but she literally can’t kill the ball and she’s doing what she can but we can’t side out because Bukilic can’t hit from the back row and Milenkovic in the front row is just painful

IVANOVIC WITH THE MASSIVE KILL THROUGH STYSIAK KORNELUK
