Well, she's certainly sending a message to the VTers who thought Serbia was going to lose to DR and might finish 4th in the pool

did anyone really think that seriously...

People like to read too much into friendlies.

someone actually thought it was feasible for Serbia to finish 4th in A? I still could see them losing to Brazil and finishing 2nd.

before the games I thought Brazil might be better than Serbia but not if Serbia plays like this

DR's biggest problem is their hair. Like, we miss the neon-green from Betty.

If they're going to lose sets -12 they might as well have at least have brought Mambru and been on fleek while doing so.

I think the big thing is if Serbia can keep clean margins and not give up too many sets, they can rest Boskovic for a 2nd match in their pool closer against South Korea and still not worry about losing top in the pool. Terzic is definitely playing reserves against Kenya.

Only 27 swings for Bosko through 2. More than Egonu had all match, but given she gets days off...

De La Cruz out for Pena-Isabel & Grandma takes a nap for Gaila Gonzales. LET'S GO 5!

Boskovic has the most aesthetically pleasing swing mechanics.

I was just about to say even when she errors, it's just so so much prettier than when Egonu errors. Even when she swings into the net, lol.

Rasic ran a slide, and it both wasn't hideous and got the kill. A first?

[trojansc]

Argentina, Russia, DR just not providing any chaos yet. Are we really going to have to depend on Karakurt to give us some action? Blah

Brenda has been an absolute non factor defensively

Serbia has mostly been attacking 1 and 6. But Brenda has still gotten too many opportunities to pass, not that it's really mattered.

I thought Serbia would lose blocking by benching Mihajlovic, but damn Milenkovic has been on it.
