It’s fine. Serbia will beat Poland tomorrow and we will be back to regularly scheduled programming. Just keep DR out of Serbia quarter final in Paris !

Unpopular opinion- would have rather had Peralta than Yonkaira. I would have liked Peralta on the roster. But truthfully, I think we both know that Yonkaira playing well is DR's best chance of getting out of pool play. I just think she's got to be gassed - she's played soooo much the past couple years for DR. I don't know if Brayelin/Betty OH and Gaila OPP is going to be much worse though - it seems that Kwiek doesn't want betty OH. You are absolutely right… but I just have the feeling, mixed with the chatter here, that Marcos goes with Betty, being this is her last swan song with the national team. If Yonkaira is going to be used as a situational DS, Peralta would have been better in that role. Personally, I would have taken both before taking Guillén. But, I must say, that I admittedly have a bias for Peralta (and Gaila for that matter) for their involvement in Los Frailes/Tropical del Este courts in their younger years.

Is this Tapia for Gaila at OPP a recent change for DR? I think I remember reading something about Gaila coming back from injury. She is recently back from lower leg injury. Initially, she was not expected to be back for the Olympics. She will be the starter in Paris.

Tapia looks really incredibly good compared to where she was just a year ago. Excited to see her development. Gaila's always been kinda streaky - so - even if the next few years are close, will be good to have them both around.
Some of the other DR youth hasn't panned out. They need to send more to Japan. It will pay off.

I’ve watched every point of these friendlies and that is now 3 foot faults called on Serbian setters in serve receive. Maja and Drca have literally never had this problem before so I have no idea what these whistles are about. Especially to happen 3 times this week

The passing is terrible. Busa is in the worst shape of her life so I’m not sure why Lazovic isn’t starting as the ball control OH

Also idk what the plan is but maja is playing keep away from Boskovic and it’s OBVIOUS so I guess that’s what Giovanni wants to see

Poland looks great in all areas. Will be interesting to see if they can sustain this level through the rest of the match. Boskovic certainly will wake up after a poor start
