    I can’t wait to see how Turkish fans go crazy over Plummer when She starts to perform like She knows. To be clumsy as hell, and not to have De Gennaro and Robinson to co


    You will ask for her to leave, She will have noce performance but overall She is not for top teams player. For Gala, THY yes but for big 3 in TL.

    What about the superior Seria A? Is Plummer good enough for Talmassons? Wait no, too clumsy 🤭


    Seriously, you seem still so interested on Kathryn, even if she left Imoco. Alexa play "Obsesion" please.

    Aleksic is injured rn and anyways she is one of the best middles in A1 to me.


    I agree that Novara's issues are the injuries. There's always some players missing in the last seasons.

    Not really. The last season Rettke was dedly , with monsterous performaces of 70% or 80% and was attacking from the position 3 not from the slide. This is her good hit but I suppose there is not the right connection with Elif.

    I don't think Elif is good at involving the middles. And performing well as a middle in a mid team doesn't mean it's gonna translate in a top team. Especially since middles have a limited role in top teams these days.


    And by signing Rettke, Ecza has weakened Milano, since Laura is so washed these days.

    Plus this two are still performing on highest level, fighting for CUPs and awards.

    Maja and Wolosz have longevity unlike others setters.

    Lo Bianco had longevity as well. She retired at 40 y.o. because of injuries and you know,sadly she had to face cancer. Not because she couldn't set in "modern volleyball".


    And Lo Bianco could run great offence (and win cups!!11) even in Bergamos with Ortolani, Nucu, Arrighetti, Secolo etc... Those Bergamo teams were actually so low budget compared to the Conegliano of these last years :teach:

    It's silly and pointless to compare setters or any players between now and past.

    But Lo Bianco and Ognjenovic have only 5 years difference. Why do people act like they play in different eras?


    It's like saying you can't compare Djokovic and Federer because the Swiss is older.

    2 teams that got a medal in VNL showed a poor level at the Olympics. Turkey, USA and Serbia are so streaky.


    Outside of Brazil and Italy, this inconsistency is a bad look for women's volleyball.


    In MY opinion.

    Gotta give credit where credit’s due.. Plummer’s serving run and those 2 aces were really important in USA’s comeback in the third. She also did a fine job receiving. I’m not sold on her attack.. she had some good points, but got blocked a lot..

    PLummer gets set out of system sets most of the time and she's always matched up against the strongest block. That's why She starts well and after some time she starts struggling.


    Skinner is doing overall well but she gets mostly fast sets vs the short block of the setter.


    This system is not great but somehow is working, so why do you want to change It?

    You have like 50 posts and you're complaining about users already get a grip stop being so soft

    And btw I read this board since 2009. I just wish I can switch so many good inactive posters from the past with the bad ones from today.


    Just my wish, hopefully It didnt annoy you 💞

    You have like 50 posts and you're complaining about users already get a grip stop being so soft

    So i cannot call someone annoying because I rarely post here?


    BTW I rarely post (or ready anything) since there are users like Madden, Serdar (and you too).


    But I should do It more often, I definitely feel smarter here. Bye 💋

    I do love Simone as well, though. I don't think she has a big ego, she is just one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen and I'm glad we get to watch her in her prime.

    Simone's sore loser attitude annoys me a lot 💀But I admit I'm biased towards American gymnasts because the jury love to overscore them by a lot. And I prefer not talk about today's inquiry💀 One of the saddest moments of the Olympics 😭

    I get it, she’s your fave. I’m not saying she’s a bad player, or thats she wasn’t ‘the main character’ for Imoco. She hasn’t been playing good for the USA.. I could even forgive her passing if she’s able to score. She’s there to attack, and she’s not doing it successfully. I’m not even saying it’s her fault. Maybe the sets are too fast and low. I’m not saying she selected herself for the team. But IT DOESN’T EFFIN MATTER.. She has been plain bad for the USA

    With or without Plummer, USA has been struggling for years now. Has USA performed better with other players and won medals ?No. USA is the only team that has showed up at the Olympics without a core team that has been playing together for years. It's basically improvisation. And that's clearly a COACHING problem.

    maybe she wouldn’t be great but she wouldn’t be so bad lol. It’s also not just about offense. Plummers reception and defense have been atrocious


    Plummer isn’t good and never has been her stats for this Olympics are SHAMEFUL. She hits the ball hard and sometimes that helped imoco but she was heavily inflated by the rest of the team. She is not for this level otherwise. Horrible passing, tentative attacking at times, terrible defense etc. in ncaa she was the best ever but it has not translated

    You act like she's the most terribile player ever while if she was Serbian, you would be here singing her praises 24/7.


    One of the most annoying user ever on this board.
