Serbias middles are mediocre outside Rasic who is getting old fast. The more I examine Serbia the more I realize they're not much of a threat as they were back in 2019. Obviously if healthy they're a top contender, but this postponement really hurt them the most out of all the teams. Agreed... pretty much everyone outside Bosko is worse. Most importantly, Maja and Branika are not in top form, imo. |

I just got my second shot on Tuesday and I felt like death warmed up until today and even now I still feel a bit fatigued. Sorry if I said anything more offensive than usual.  i got the second of moderna and it was almost literally the worst for like 1.5 days Same 1.5 timeframe so far but I got Pfizer. Them aches and pains were no joke but better than the alternative... now let me back into Paris. |

I...disagree. Young people for fun/spark is not the move during an Olympic year. During 2017-18-19 could and should the argument be made for more youth involvement? Perhaps. But not in the only tournament before the Olympics and especially since it’s the first international competition in like a year and a half. I made that point but thanks for reiterating it. Who would you have liked to see? |

Now they're "only" half a step below first tier. |

Veljković had the baby. Stevanović retired from the NT. Rasić had an off match vs. Imoco in the CL finals. Underestimating her connection with Ognjenović would be a huge mistake. I mix those two up so much. Busa had a good season though this year right? At least better than normal Busa played badly she was easily unseated by Robo. |

I really think this is a two way race between Italy and China with the USA on the outside looking in. Egonu and Zhu and co are scary. Serbia needs more than Bosko to get it done, imo. The USA is probably more balanced than ever. I just wish we had a consensus at Setter and Libero. Carlini/Poulter didn't start setting full time until 2019. They needed to be there on day 1 in 2017. So much time was wasted on Lloyd and for this, I cannot, forgive.

It's more of the fact that he's been using the same formula and not giving a chance to other talents...just predictable the past 3 years. Like they do well in the VNL and then NOTHING in the world championship and losing where it matters in the world cup to China. I hope it pays off but if you're not will to take a risk and spark...then you'll end up with Bronze and Silver. |

Against teams like Thailand, Puerto Rico, and Poland in the IOQTs. Can she do that against teams like China, Italy, and USA? |

Luckily Boskovic can carry them across the finish line if she has to! Can she? I mean y’all are acting like she has 0 help. Yes it’s trending a bit downwards but even Maja and Rasic not at their best is still very good. Plus Brankica could decide to have a great day and then they can take anyone to a 5th set where bosko could win by herself or end it earlier |
