Sylla was the undeniable MVP of the last WCH and clearly the best player of Italy both on semifinal and in final. She also delivered and helped a lot Egonu, when they won the ECH back in 2021. I know that she is unstable and that she was never that good in her clubs, but she managed to be critical for the NT a lot of times.
I agree.
For Italy, Sylla is the game changer and the only all-round OH italy has, regardless how unstable she is. Without her good perfomance, Italy can't go far.
No team has taken a single set off the USA so far, three sweeps 
They’ll likely dominate all the way to the final.
will trade you Maya Ogbogu if you take Erik Sullivan to the senior team
Only if Poulter come together 
Same old story, italian OHs are weak
Ogbogu from US
Wika from Poland
Uwadiae from Italy
.....
We have several good undersized players in this tournament.
What's the take on this Italian generation?
Im surprised to see them struggling with DOM (who was 8th in NORCECA like two months ago)
This generation took third place at last year’s ECH with their go‑to player Gaye.
Gaye is somehow not competing at this WCH, so these players’ struggles are foreseeable.
I think a quarter‑final finish would already be an ideal result.
FIVB confirmed that Russian women and men team will participate the 2027 VNL.
In addition, the Russian men's team has voluntarily decided to drop out of the 2027 FIVB Men's World Cup, which is to be held in Poland. That definitely solves some foreseeable problems.
I think I already wrote the same thing last year, but McHenry is Korneluk reincarnated
In what way ? can't see any resemblance
Pity for Anderson, I don’t recall the last time they won an intercontinental gold medal.
I think it's 2015 World Cup, a decade ago.
Congratulations to Poland. The depth in the OH department is crazy.
Christenson setting pipe to Champlin never work
The way Poland plays in VNL makes you wonder why this team with such depth couldn't win OG or WCH in recent years.
Just formidable
is 352 the heighest attacking point for this VNL ?
13 consecutive wins and then two loss in the last two matches, ending up at 4th place must be hard to digest.
This year ECH will be interesting to follow 
SLO won first VNL medal, congratulation!
Mujanovic made the difference
I can't decide who is the game changer, Champlin or Robinson
🔥🔥 best match of the finals. Maybe whole VNL
Maybe the gold final tomorrow will be more competitive , just hope Anderson have more fuel left for tomorrow VS Poland
KK better starts Robinson in the tie-break
Crazy one foot attack from Hanes
Champlin is finally subbded off
