Considering that we are without 2 important starters (4, if you consider Carol and Natália, but I think these two will never appear again thanks to the coach), I think it was a good performance against Italy.

 

This team with more experience will be extremely dangerous.

Looks like we have nothing left for the match with Holland. The team is physically and emotionally spent after the Serbia match last night and this one comes too soon. The whole weeks play is showing it's tall, as we basically played every match with the same 6 players.

 

Not that we were favorites against Holland to begin with, even though they are with a younger squad, they still have a very organized and smart play, which is always a problem for us.

Commentators just mentioned that  Van Ryk had a 113km/h serve last night, which surpasses Vargas’s current WR from VNL 2022

Best game of the week was against  where we lost 3-0… otherwise just horrible 

Mitrovic is trying to get us going but isn’t working

 4 won and 2nd in ranking VNL, good start

Quite a good start for the Dutch team  , considering all the new players in the team (only Van Aalen, Dambrink and Reesink from the Olympic squad did play this week). 

 

They had no chance against Japan, but played good matches against Canada and Bulgaria. It still was a pity they lost against Dominican Republic (2-3). That was unnecessary, but that match was only 20 hours after the match against Canada. Stupid schedule!

 

I'm curious which players will step in next round. 

 

For me the German and French team were the (talented) surprises of this first week.

Well, that was the only reason left for me to watch this team this VNL with Gray out, guess I’ll clear the next two weeks off my sports schedule.

Embarrassing. 
 

I don’t care if we don’t have KVR, Gray, or Brie, we should still be winning
