pity that Germany lose this game. They were fighting so hard.
too bad for Germany...
today, against this Serbia, a little more would have been enough to at least get to the fifth set and maybe even to win, but today Orthmann was unwatchable and even Stigrot was almost nothing in attack...
Alsmeier and the usual very good Weitzel they tried, but they couldn't be enough...
Boskovic, an alien from another galaxy, literally did what she wanted...
Alsmeier is keeping Germany afloat...
Serbia behind a sumptuous Boskovic seems to be really in trouble: but Tika is a perfect machine...
I agree. She is really underperforming right now. no where near her average level
In the end, she only missed a couple of games, but she's below her standards...
She's obviously exhausted...
Good... Italy is still alive...
We are not in good shape but we are alive...
I can't believe it... Italy has thrown away the set and the possibility of going to the F8... Shocking...
Good girl Mazzaro!!!
Poor Germany lol. Boskovic is just on another planet. She’s just torching them with ease
in the second set she played alone: but she didn't make it... the other teammates were probably organizing their holidays...
Alsmeier and Serbia's mistakes keep Germany afloat in the second set. Great Lina!!!
they heard you say balance on this set
Italy kicks off in the third set...
Degradi and Villani play a beautiful volleyball and the two MBs are dominating...
Gray has wet gunpowder in attack today...
Boskovic's attack is 90% efficient in the first set... Numbers that seem unreal...
As expected, Serbia is strolling above Germany…
Canada vs Italy, on the other hand, is a game that is played on the edge of balance...
Does anyone knows what is happening between Ze and Julia B.? Ok I know she was not so good in the last matches but today I just felt that he put her on bench without a serious reason. Did he lost his trust in her or something else?
A point made and four lost with 0% efficiency in attack in one set, seems to me a more than serious reason to be replaced...
So is Italy in danger of getting cut in Final 8? Italy and Canada fighting for final spot?
Italy was already in danger with this morning's 3-2 draw between Poland and Germany... now even more...
Tomorrow Canada, against Italy, will play absolutely to win, to then play everything in the last match against the Netherlands and try to enter the 8 finalists...
KVR isn't having a positive effect, but neither is it negative: in the end she's not very efficient, but she's making few direct mistakes...
Maybe keeping her on the pitch isn't a bad idea: she has the skills to be able to bring out the right shots in the fifth set...
She was terrible the day before yesterday, she attacked with 10% I think, she is extremely inconsistent. She can play great one day and extremely bad the other day 🤦
Overall I agree that heynen gets the best out of this group, he did the same with nilüfer belediyesi. He gets his team 6th place with a bunch of unknown players
The day before yesterday she was deployed as O and, as had already happened in other matches in which Heynen decided to use her like this (THAI, DR, CHI) she didn't play well...
Clearly the role in which, now, she performs best is that of OH and, imho, it's her natural role...
NOT ON MAGLIO!!!
today, on her birthday, Alsmeier made another good performance...
In the OH position, the girl is certainly very comfortable and I think it's one the safest indication that Heynen has found in these weeks..
For sure Germany is a young and extremely solid team: without a role O they are struggling with all the teams...
They are doing a good job...
I believe that trying to carry out technical or tactical analyzes on this national team is just an exercise in style...
Apart from the four girls who will move up to Team A and Omoruyi, none of these can be considered a prospectus for team A...
Let's take the good that they showed in this event as character and grit and let's put it aside...
Personally, I still don't understand what the point of this group is, but by now I'm used to Mazzanti's meaningless choices...
I don't think we'll be able to comment on the results until the end of the summer: let's see what happens at the European Championship and to the OCs...
I am so surprised by this result
Oh, man: what result?...
We Italians are superstitious, don't bring bad luck: the match isn't over yet...
You dont get it, challenge judge have full control of video, can go up and down by milliseconds and can be clearly seen if ball is is in or out
The Hawk-Eye, like all computer vision measuring systems, has an error range and, specifically, is from 2 to 4 millimeters...
For me, in all cases that fall within this range, its judgment should not be taken into consideration...
But that's just my personal opinion...
However in the Hawk-Eye system, the judge does NOT have full control of the video: the system is totally automatic and in real time. This is precisely the most important feature of the system, that of not depending on anyone's judgement...
