Not that Zivkovic was great, from Zivkovic to Dijkema sounds like a downgrade. At least to me.
I would never, ever agree with that, but talking about that team.. kinda true.
Zivkovic was never creative, but always precise, giving steady sets to her teammates. I love Laura, but she can get.. kinda all around the place, let's just say that.
Why not? She is so underrated player, she is great in both of receving and defence skills, she isn't attractive one but her role in Serbia is very important and Serbia is current World, European champ and Olympic vice champ and in every single succes of Serbia she was one of the best on her position, and that confirma stastic, surely thar statistic isn't always a 100% credible display, but if someone who played final at Olympic was also the best receiver of the tournament and someone who was first on the wch was first in digging stastic, ofc for someone more for someone less but her quality is unquestionable.
*sorry for of topic
Well I agree with Serdar on this one.. I agree with you a bit tho too.. Popovic is unattractive, but a really solid player, and she has a very important role in Serbias's success. However I don't think she comes in mind when mentioning world's top liberos. Busa also has a huge role in the serbian team, and without her, they probably won't be so successful, but you wouldn't say she's amongst the best OHs..
Well American players have proved times and again they don't put too much effort in learning the language of the country they play in.. It's obviously not shade, and there are exceptions like Logan, who speaks perfect Italian and Portuguese..
Ana finally getting the love and appreciation she deserves 
Toy Boy 😇
Display MoreTo make it more difficult (as if it needs any more of that!), try to construct 14 player current squad with the limitation of only 1 player per country. Its more tricky than you might think because some of the best players right now in the world are in countries with more than 1 world-class players, and you have to think not just who are the best players in the best teams in the world, but which of the national players from the top countries are the most indispensable on their respective positions vis-a-vis the rest of the world. Here's my try:
Setters: Joanna Wolosz, Nootsara Tomkom
OH: Zhu Ting, KYK, Gabi, Samantha Bricio
OPP: Tijana Boskovic, Isabelle Haak
MB: Robin de Kruijf, Eda Erdem Dundar, Irina Fetisova, Chiaka Ogbogu
LIB: De Gennaro, Brenda Castillo
So it should be with players playing right now?
I just came across my post from 2015 and it's almost the same players 😂
Wei - Hooker
Logan Tom - Gozde Sonsirma
Akinradewo - Veljkovic
Castillo
Adams, Foluke and Ogbogu in Tokyo!! Black girl magic 
Has Foluke ever said that it would be her last year? I don't she was working that hard during and after pregnancy 'only' to make it to Tokyo. Prior to her pregnancy she didn't look like her age stopped her at anything so we'll see how things go. Silver lining in this craziness is she'll have more time to het back in shape
I don't wanna be that guy, but Vakif plays better than previous years. Zhu is s huge loss obviously, but there's something about this group of players right now, that makes them look like a machine
Maja is crazyyyyy! Who on earth has those skills
Now Boskovic rolled her ankle.. it doesn't look serious at all tho
And I can't get over Ana not succeeding with the NT 
I'm really glad Haak is doing a great job, proving she's the star player everyone belived she was
Moscow look like they wanna get this done as quick as possible
Robert Horstink... oh my gosh 
It's weird seeing Tiffany insisting on overhead passing although it hasn't been effective so far in the match
Robin posted that they decided not to cancel the league for the rest of the season, and the matches will be played without an audience
