Tandara is not a great receiver either. I think Lowe is a better option because Tandara can choke very bad at times
Lefty OPP turned into OH? Hell to the no

My baby

New star is born! Mayany souza 185 22 yrs old!
I'm really surprised people are acting so positive right now, because she has been given chances in the past, and has always used them really good.
-
i guess it's very EASY for her to get injured xd
Not funny at all
-
Where are you watching the matches? I can't find any links

It looks like Megan Easy was injuried again, apparently she broke her achilles tendon a few years ago. I doubt at this point that she'll play again in the NT.
Actually it was last year on the other leg
-
Oh my god. Terrible news. Yes a few years ago her house got flooded, many of her teammates including Haneef-Park were raising founds to help her.
I hope everything goes well
-
Why is Dayse playing as a MB? I remember her being an OH, sometimes OPP.. I didn't know she can play in the middle as well
-
OMG did she really? Again?
And she came back so strong.. let's hope this is not the official news
-
But to be fair, Larson has a great float serve too
-
Volleywood announced Egonu is in a relationship with Skorupa
-
Yes, Mayhara was there. She was a beast at both slide attack and blocking. And then she decided to bench in Rexona...
I remember praising her then. I couldn't get over her decision to go and sit on the bench in Rio
-
She was a starter during a few years in Praia, and then she benched for Claudinha. I like her. She used to have great connections with her MBs and OPP but her sets to zone 4 are simply awful. This was a huge problem in 2013/2014 when Praia had this amazing line up with Herrera, Kim Glass, Mari Steinbrecher and failed to reach semifinals once again. Ju Carrijo was mostly blamed for that because she performed very poorly in the quarterfinals.
Yes, I remember her playing with my Kim. Also Mayhara was in that team right?
-
I don't understand why did Ju Carrijo spent most of her career sitting on the bench. She is not the greatest of setters, but a good one, and being a local many teams could use her. I remember her being really good in Praia and still sitting on the bench (I don't remember who was the starting setter that season)

Sorry my ignorance and also for going off topic.. can someone explain how do black girls change hairstyles so quickly? I'm referring to Egonu who had long braids during WCH and now has a really short hair. I know some Dominican players use extensions. (Brenda, Dela Cruz) Is that the case with Egonu too? Akinradewo had a really cool hairstyle during WCH too, and Hooker yesterday
-
i dont understand why they insist with Lorenne and only use Hooker as a serving sub? She might have helped turning things around a bit.
Watching 2 of Brazil's legendary MB going head to head with each other was a thrill.
Hooker did came and and played for a few points, near the end of set 2. She made a hitting error, then was blocked, then made a serving mistake. However in the 4th she played much much better, I think she was given 5-6 balls, and she killed all of those. She looks kinda slow to me, especially moving on court. Also I noticed she still jumps pretty high, but the timing with the sets is off.. she usually hit them, while coming down. Which is understandable considering she has been training with her setter for a short time. I'm hoping she gets back to her beast shape

I’m quite a fan of Sheshenina, I consider her the best Russian setter after Startseva. She’s not at Maja’s level but you don’t win an Olympic silver medal for nothing, she’s very capable.
I agree. Sheshenina has been performing really good for years now, and many people have been questioning why is she not invited to the NT
-
Bojana is the only one who truly depends on dominant spikers to an unhealthy degree, because she is an uninspiring, workmanlike setter (in contrast to Maja's genius and virtuosity, and Ana who is something in between those two, though more leaning towards Bojana's end of spectrum as years go by and injuries pile up).
And the reason USAvolleyfan dragged Maja into the conversation (which in turn forced Joana to drag Bojana) is because he/she is a huge fan of Ana, and judging by his/her posting history, seems to me more than a little sore that Ana has spent all her career in Maja's (considerable) shadow. This is not the first time I have seen USAvolleyfan defend a perceived flaw in Ana's game by pointing out that supposedly Maja is no better at it (or even worse). And he/she has been wrong almost every time.
I explained in a later post what I meant. I did not say Maja is uncreative or setting only her OPP. Yes I am a big fan of Ana, but I don't think she's currently a better setter than Maja

Whenever Lorenne tries to hit line, she's either blocked or the ball is out..
-
What an exciting 4th set this is..
