Kosheleva is intense for this match. Look at her face on every big point

A pity that these matches are all at the same time. Have to decide which match is better to watch: ITA-GER or TUR-BRA

I don't know if it was mentioned but Foluke had an injury in the first set against Kazakhstan.. I am not sure if she pulled a muscle or felt discomfort in her knee, you can watch the replay and see it -
15:47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM2jBESo_acI really do hope and think it was nothing serious because she could walk after it. There is no info for that injury, anyone knows something? If it turns out to be more serious then it would be a big blow for the USA having 2 injured MBs and 2 inexperienced.. And also Foluke was one of the most important players of the team
I saw yesterday, and I still could understand exactly what she felt...the way the physiotherapist was moving her it seemed more like hips or something...maybe some muscle in the leg...
anyway, the tv showed her in the bench later, she didnt seem to be putting ice anywhere...and after the game she seemed to be moving ok...so...lets hope it was nothing serious.
Not Foluke's hip, but her knee.

Hopefully just a minor tweak.

İ just could watch 2 sets of Pur-Aze match. Do you know where I can re-watch the whole match or at least 5th set ?

Vercesi collapses to the floor as matchpoint falls

what a match between PUR and AZE! Fight till the last points! Both teams will give BEL a hard time!
I started watching mid-match and it turned out to be close and that 5th set really could have gone to either team
Good effort by both teams. -

Karch listed Glass in the lineup sheet for set3 so he uses a sub to bring Thompson in before the first point

How will be the group composition in second round? A+D and B+C like in Mens WCH?
Somehow i couldn't find this info on the official site and the wikipedia site didn't help as well

Yes, A+D and B+C for second round pools.

Cuba will arrive in Italy tonight
and tomorrow they will play against Belgium.Their arrival got significantly delayed due to a strike in the airport in France.

Final rosters are usually defined no later than the player inquiry meeting (usually a day before tournament).

sorry, but why then is she going to play the WCH??
Even as Harmotto made the team, USA coaches took a long time to make the decision to include her in the WCH team because she is coming back from injury. They'll be monitoring her match to match. She's been working very hard to come back and right now even a less-than-100% Harmotto still brings a lot to the USA team.
Managing an injury-risk player for a two-week WCH tournament for USA would be different from a 6-month season which probably factors into Piacenza's hesitation...
