Imagine that -- Cuba gets better when they finally change their setter!

Bottolo can only hit hard, it seems. No tips, no touching of opposing hands. Bottolo heard you and is showing off his finesse game this set!

Anyone gonna watch Italy v. Cuba?? Curious if Cuba takes advantage of Italy's inexperience and gets their first W or will Italy use their serving to take advantage of Cuba's bad setter? 🤔 aha mberlanda!

De Giorgi looked so happy there, would be great for them to pick up another win

Should be a good one, right??!?

They did well and stayed focused. An unexpected victory, at least for me. Porro needs to increase his experience in block and defense but the one who convinced me the least was Mosca: he is very tall (2.08 6'8+) however not very effective in blocking. Anyway very good all of them!

Anyway very good all of them! sometimes height does not help in blocking. The pre-judgement, movement speed and the ability to read the opponent's setter are all important. Congrats to all of these Italian young children!
