Japan vs. Tijana Boskovic | 7/27 Tue 1:20am | Pool A

[basil]

did the Japanese libero just pass that jump serve with her hands??

[Resident Bitchy Canadian Fan]

Bosko might as well score all 25 points for Serbia at this point. Japan won’t stop her, they’ll only dig her every few swings

Is BRANKICA MIHAJLOVIC still playing at a high level as of late?

She hasn't been the same. She didn't really play against DR besides a few points. Serbia opting for better passing and very limited offense on the outside.

Lol 15 points for bosko

[Resident Bitchy Canadian Fan]

LOL Bosko got 14 of Serbia’s 18 kills. The OHs have 0.

For some reason, she has just not been in-form lately. Not nearly as offensively capable, and her passing is not good either. Not really bringing much value on court outside of physicality and experience.

I always like a good *rest of team* stat

Tijana Boskovic: 14/22
Rest of Team: 4/16

Japan: Let's focus on shutting down every one else, Tijana will get hers but can't beat us by herself

Tijana (and Maja): ....

Holding the opposition's OH duo to 0 kills and still losing is like, impressive.

[trojansc]

At 10-7 in the 2nd set, a Serbian OH has a kill!

But seriously though. How far can Serbia go with Milenkovic/Blagojevic?

[Deleted]

How we won a set with not one single kill from the outside hitter position is beyond me

[basil]

I will be very interested to see if Serbia can only ride Boskovic against Brazil, or if the OHs are able to step up. I'm also very interested by this influx of Serbians suddenly learning how to pass.

[trojansc]

Boskovic is 20/29.

I'm so glad I appropriately titled this thread.

[c4ndlelight]

That ball was down before she ran into the net (and regardless, no one ever calls the walkthrough unless the ball is brought up by the digger..)

[trojansc]

Is it me or was that replay review super sketchy? it wasn't even shown right and it looked like the ball hit the ground just before she netted.

#FIVB strikes again.....
