Congrats to SLC! I think couple of mistakes by the Houston setter like trying to score herself toward the end of the golden set has cost Houston the game.
But also, SLC was more under control.

That's correct thanks to Vargas originally from Cuba. It is what it is!!!!
You are looking at the old players what about upcoming young players such as very promising setter who plays in Ezacibasi I forgot her name. What about young MBs who plays at VB, Ezacibasi and the one in Italian league. etc. etc. They have a lot of young players coming up plus they have a very good development program. Believe it or not they are here to stay.

Wow, here comes the doomsday predictor for the Turkish volleyball. C'volley has been saying this for the last several years and yet every year Turkish women finishes on top 4. I don't know why everyone takes him seriously as the authority of what's going to happen. EU championship is coming this summer. I am going to predict they’ll finish at least in the top 3 and they have a very good chance of going all the way.

To be a strong team, they must have a very good attacker, a good MBs and good services receivers. FB has a very good attacker and decent MBs but this year they faltered on receiving part. Hande was not up to that level. She was decent t most game but not against Antropova and that cost them.
Next year, I predict Ezacibasi will be a very strong team, and they'll challenge any team for championship. For FB getting Castilo is an excellent choice, but they need one more excellent receiver type player just in case Hande falters again. VB is always a great team. Next year it is going to be more fun to watch Turkish league.

Congrats VB!!!. Winning is a habit and VB has proven that by winning twice against Scandicci and twice against Milano. VB may not have played well but the result was never in doubt. Next match will tough and I wish it was a 3 games series. For Ezacibasi if Kisal and Rettke slows down Antropova and most important if they can receive then yeah I see Ezacibasi certainly winning the match. On the other hand, this is it for Scandicci, next year they will become a mid level team. And Ezacibasi with Ishikave receiving and Antropova attacking they'll become a top level team. Is that simple!
-
Antropova ended up both games at 40% attack rate though and rather mid efficiency, she didn't kill them as an attacker - she killed them from the service line, but that's the whole problem with the premise how Fenerbahce in general is built as a team.
Hande supposed to receive well but she as well as others choked against Antropova.
-
Congrats to Scandicci. With so many services errors from FB especially in the first set they were still able to win. However, as I said so many times before, Scandicci is a one-person team. They had to stop Antropova and they couldn't. It was very smart idea giving Antropova a break on the third set. EB needs to stop Antropova from the services line and slow her down from attack. If they can do it, they will win. The rest of Scandicci players are not that important.
-
I am so waiting for the VB vs Imoco match. Two of the best teams in the world that doesn't have giving up on their dictionary. I really appropriate that. By the way this game COM vs NOV is being played on a very nice ambient.
-
No one purposely lets go the semifinal of the league or doesn't take it as serious as possible, also, Milano has much more demanding in-week game than Scandicci.
But it looks like Milano actually has found some rhythm and plays on the level of its potential, these performances against Vakif and now Scandicci were super quality.
First of all, losing purposely and not playing hard are two different things. In the first set Scandicci did play seriously and hard but after the first set they gave up, there is no other explanation for losing especially on the third set for 16 to 25. They just wanted to save their energy for the much more important CL game against FB, which is by the way understandable. I don’t believe Milano somehow found their touch to that level. You are free to believe whatever you want to believe, I just disagree with you.
-
It Looked like Scandicci was tired after playing against FB in mid-week, and they don’t want to spend more energy after all going to CL final 4 is more important than winning this game against Milano. For Miano winning this game is way more important since winning against VB is very slim.
-
wow what's that shade for?
Serdar looks like you have a dirty mind 😊 While I’m thinking about comfort and getting a good night rest and you’re thinking about something else.
-
Wow, it seems like majority have given up on FB. We still have one more game to play and considering first and second sets were extremely close, anything could happen on the second game. Heck the second set went to 31-29 and ended with Eda’s block touch. If someone told me that Bosetti would score 10 points I wouldn’t believe it, but she did, congrats to her. Hande must match Bosetti in terms of output. Maybe sleeping in her own bed will do the trick.
-
Congrats to VB very impressive win for them coming back from 2 sets down in Milan!!! What impressed me most is that they just played a game 3 days ago and on top of that they traveled to Milan, whereas Milano didn’t play a game last weekend and they were preparing hard for this game, so too loose like this must be very disappointing for them. I ‘ve been keep writing here about Markova >>> Zhu. Hopefully she'll be a part of VB for long time to come.
-
I looked at the box score and saw Scandicci MBs scored 14 points each total of 28 points. That is remarkable and obviously that help them a lot winning the game. I wonder why, couldn't Novara serve well or what. If they can get their MBs play like that, it will be tough for FB. Let's see.
-
the real test will be Scandicci/Novara ofcourse, but Vakif is already favourite for both, even with aktuell performance. i dont evern wanna think, how italians gonna stay alive, if they play much more organized and on a good day.
Maybe I am wrong, but I thought Vakif is going to play against Milano? FB is going to play against Scandicci/Novara. FB looks stronger on the paper and they have won twice against Novara but they could flip, they may have a better chance against Scandicci then Novara just because Scandicci is one player show. When Antopova gets tired it is over for them.

I mean generally and not specifically in the match against Fener, but even in this match my opinion some of the sets that she sent were really difficult to hit. Anyway, I know that it's not exactly her fault.
I don't know how you came to that conclusion, Cansu is playing very well. Her connection with Markova or with MBs is good. and her connection with Bosko is getting much better, she knows Gio's system very well and that also reflect on their overall record. So far they haven't lost a game in CL and overall, they have lost only one game this season. When it comes to Ayca her struggles against top level teams are well known, otherwise she is playing well as well. Afterall she is second best receiver with 47% in Turkish league. So when you say generally they both playing well at least that is what the stats says.
-
Well done VB!!. Looks like Boskovic back to playing her top level her connection with Cansu was great. Ogbogu was awesome, so as Markova. Derya was Ok. Just Ayca still sucks. There is the mental toughness that VB poses and FB does not!
-
Its the same for me.
maybe because of a high demand it stopped working for me as well!!
-
So far Boskovich and Markova are playing well, Ayca sucks as usual, VB played well overall. I am so happy that Markova has signed a contract for next several years. Vargas and Arina played well for FB.
-
Ayca you are killing me!!!
