I actually think they should go with Mosca. They're both fairly good attackers but Mosca was by far the better blocker. They both had 9 positive touches during VNL but Mosca had 11 blocks to Sanguinetti's 4. Mosca also went on more service runs. I agree with this take, hard. Mosca was a big bright spot for the week 3 and finals legs. Not sure if DiGiorgi agrees, but I'm on board. I have a feeling we're both going to be fighting Di Giorgi once that Olympic roster drops š |

I'm a little bored waiting for more Olympic news (wow I feel like @toddyj now), so let's play Predict Their Roster!
Who do we think Slovenia will go with?
Obviously, they're taking:
S: Ropret
OPP: T. Å tern
MB: Kozamernik, Pajenk, Å talekar
OH: Urnaut, Äebulj, MožiÄ
L: KovaÄiÄ
I guess the second setter will be VinÄiÄ. I also suppose MujanoviÄ is the 2nd OPP even though he only really came in as a blocking sub.
Who gets that 4th OH spot: Z. Å tern or BraÄko? Or do they go with 5 OHs and cut MujanoviÄ, using Äebulj/MožiÄ at OPP if needed?

Almost every position for Argentina was solidified during VNL with the exception of:
3rd MB; 3rd & 4th OH
Do you take Gallego or Ramos as the 3rd middle?
Which two OHs do you take: Vicentin (best attacker), Martinez (best passer/replacement for Danani), Palacios (the vet)?
(I'm also high-key upset we didn't get any Armoa Morel during VNL!)

Argentina released their roster already. Ramos as the 3rd middle. Palonsky, Conte, Vicentin, Martinez, and Palacios all listed at OH; no clear indication of who the 13th is. https://www.instagram.com/p/C898ZlRR7Yq |

Oof. That sucks for him. Based on VNL rosters, I'd suspect Sanguinetti, but I assume they'd be riding Galassi and Russo throughout the tournament. I actually think they should go with Mosca. They're both fairly good attackers but Mosca was by far the better blocker. They both had 9 positive touches during VNL but Mosca had 11 blocks to Sanguinetti's 4. Mosca also went on more service runs. Bad newsā¦ idk about the translation but Italian article is saying Mosca is possibly injured, and waiting for the results of an MRIā¦ |

EDIT: just seen the volleyball.it article ( link), they predict Laurenzano as the alternate over Recine. Official announcement will be monday. |

If true, bruinsgold must be very happy with the inclusion of Bottolo. #justiceforbottolo. |
