I'm stoked after watching the US match.

Also: apparently Koga injured herself against Kenya.

It may or may not have had immediate effects on Japan, after sweeping the 1st two sets, once Koga went down, Kenya took Japan to the brink and had a late lead in the 3rd set before losing 23-25 to get swept.

PLS NOT THE TITLE HAHAHA

[chatchu-off moksri]

Is Japan allowed to replace one of their players with an alternate if Koga is unable to play for the rest of the tournament?

Imo, Japan has zero chances against Serbia with the size (or lack thereof) of these left sides. Or at least, they should have no chance of stopping Boskovic.

Never thought I would see the day where Serbia was better at passing than Japan

Milenkovic, Blagojevic, and Popovic is definitely their best passing lineup. If your left sides aren't gonna get you kills, might as well get passing.

[trojansc]

It's 15-11 and Boskovic has 8 kills.

Boskovic is like yeah that AAC player you guys have is cute and all but I'm the reigning World Champ MVP for a reason.

I think Boskovic might have 10 points already and it’s 16-12 in the first

Serbia outsides: 0 for 7
Boskovic: 8 for 11

Nobody else on Serbia has more than 1 kill

[chatchu-off moksri]

I feel like Araki has been around forever for Japan
