If Plummer doesn't get to play VNLs this year after her performance last year, Hancock shouldn't even be allowed to drive the team bus around Cali next year. Just horrendous execution and decision making. Worst part is she will be almost certainly be there in Paris and this exact same thing will happen idk the source of Karch’s beef with Carlini is but its got to end.

I know she's short but Pressley opposite try out? I've seen her hit a volleyball from damn near every spot on the court lol. She has that Hooker athleticism, a strong arm and the years of adjusting to Sedwick surely helped her OOS lol Accepting applications for opposite hopefuls She's done with volleyball, no?

Just got back from the match and the most glaring difference watching live was service pressure differential. Turkey seemed to consistently apply pressure and USA seemed to rarely apply pressure. There is tons of post about passing but I was actually impressed USA was right there to take it to 5 considering they brought a knife to a gun fight in the serve game. Actually I think we brought a fork to a gun fight, but I agree That's because someone on USA's side thought they'd be eating, lol.

no he wouldn't. Turkiye at the end of set 2 and 3 panicked as usual and started making mistakes. If it wasn't Santarelli's calm demeanour, they could have lost it. Guidetti, especially towards the end, has become very harsh and angry towards players. He was saying things like not trusting the players at all. Vargas didn't make the difference today. Yeah... I'm gonna go with a hot NO on this Vargas take, but I'll agree with you about Giudetti. What i really wanted to say that Vargas had better matches when she carried the team, but this wasn’t one of those. Whole team really put it out there. Especially defense.

To be honest, of all the teams in the top 8, I'm probably the most OK with losing to Turkey, considering our record against them the past 5 years. The deserve a shot at the top spot in a tournament. I'm happy for them. I hope they beat China, LOL! Yeah seriously. I don’t know if there’s another team that plays in the top 5 so much but never wins the gold, like Turkiye.

Going forward, does the US have any answer to Vargas? In the first 2 sets, Vargas took the US to the cleaners.

Just horrendous execution and decision making. Worst part is she will be almost certainly be there in Paris and this exact same thing will happen plummer got to play this year. She flopped. Micha also got to play this year. She was solid until today. Big difference.

She just didnt kill us and i guess showed some leadership via experience

She just didnt kill us and i guess showed some leadership via experience At this point, I’ll take solid over crazy impressive, especially with poulter out and carlini battling injuries. Micha was given a pretty darn tough task and I think she did pretty dang well. Agreed that Karch should’ve taken literally anyone else besides Carlini if she wasn’t fit to play. Even if just to give Micha a breather during set 2 and the end of set 4. Hell, a dub sub with JT might have been the difference. But I think Micha played a fantastic tournament. Even today, she was running a mile chasing down sus passing

Turkyie has always been a fighting team. One of the flaws they had was in stopping believing (in their own chances, in winning the game) if the opponent showed particular resistance. Now I see the Turks treating Vargas and his presence as an amulet and they have no worries about it anymore: they know that when they need something more they can have it and they don't mind it anymore. The fact then that the game involves Vargas only a reasonable number of times per set I think then helps their "awareness." Vargas is very effective, makes very few errors and, currently, irrepressible (three ways to perceive the same thing). In the first two sets then the speed of play was very high (much higher than that between China and Poland) and the U.S. could not keep up then, due to fatigue, slowed down in the third and fourth. We will see how the teammates react when Vargas, better studied, is more effectively contained.
