It took a really weird turn. A little bit frustrated for Sabalenka but ok congrats to Ostapenko.

Who even says "she knows how to win" so if her team loses does that mean she knows how to lose too what a weird ass take

Are you kidding me? Cansu won several times the CL and the TL with Vakif ( and against Imoco) .She was one of the most important (if not the most important one) in the epic season of Vakif. She has experienced and manage to get through from matches of the highest level and intensity and the most recent example is the golden set against Fener . Orro could never manage all these. She has no the right attitude. I do not say that the Olympics do not matter but there were the right circumstances in order to hide her problems.
They were obviously talking about the NT season

I dont think they would know her either.
She's just so supportive of everyone and she did say that she wanted to watch more games live

The league is still in its infancy so it's a locals hyping local stars scenario. It's in the league's best interest right now to focus on hometown faves.
I don't know if you saw, but there was this viral tiktok of 2 middle aged Americans googling Sheilla Castro they were sitting behind her lol. That basically sums it up
LOVB should invite KYK

Exchange Egonu & Rosamaria and see what Sylla & Gabi will win in NT lol
why would you drag rosamaria into this sylla is still inconsistent regardless of who she plays with

LYY has offers from Eczacibasi, Galatasaray and Goztepe (?).
Goztepe?? what in the world. Imagine if LYY went there and none of us knew what that is

lovb 1st division
pvf 2nd division

I don't have any inside information but this is my point of view.
It was a coup to get Chiaka in the first place (she's in her prime). She held all of the leverage as to get whatever benefits "founding athletes" have, but only a one year contract. She gets her American rendezvous while Vakif gets itself sorted out.
LOVB gets the benefits of having her help establish the league. They can part ways after one season fulfilling both what they wanted to do.
But in terms of image, to the people who are putting their dollars into buying tickets/watching on American TV, Chiaka doesn't move any needle. Americans (the ones whose $$ matters) dont know Chiaka, they dont have a relationship with her. Her time in the NCAA was before the volleyball boom. The NT has no publicity or promotion here. So she's not really known. The player who is, Asjia O'Neal, is behind her in the lineup.... With Chiaka leaving, it opens the door to allowing Asjia to step into the limelight. Sure the level of play will drop with the switch, but there's a much bigger opportunity to get eye balls on the league from an American perspective. (the same case will be if a libero leaves and gets replaced by Lexi Rodriguez).
So it might be "bad" in terms of how foreigners view the league, but their dollars aren't the ones that LOVB is after anyways. (if that makes sense).
What's a founding athlete? I saw that under Kelsey's name too on lovb's site

should keihan still be included? he's not doing anything of note in france but he's probably there because he wants a stepping stone to play in italy

So why are you spending so much of your time in such a terrible forum? Just leave us alone?
raehmon is your typical braindead maga. not a single coherent thought.

I love how people take for granted that Milano will loose at the semis, especially in a single-elimination match.
Who are you talking about in this scenario? which people are taking what for granted that sounds like fiction
Literally nobody expected Novara to win especially after their disgraceful match against Chieri
-
Girl really said envious but It's the same user who degraded Zehra and called her a good for nothing player who gets paid too much cuz she's pretty
that zhu ting simp is always on some dumb shit.
they were complaining that turkish fans are too devoted to turkish players like zehra
