Kim si so far in top 3 best player in the world. Well in my opinion it was a surprise, cause typically plays better as a team, where South Korea has some individualities, and the results have also been in favor of Netherlands - 13place at World Championship where Korea didn't even qualify, then second place at European Championship... even the bookmakers didn't really give South Korea a chance of winning ( the odds for Korea were about 7.00, and for Netherlands about 1.10 ) let alone 3-0, so for me it is maybe not something unbelievable, but really unexpected My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO.

I said that South Korea is not a team to be underestimated, same for Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that South Korea is not a team to be underestimated, same for Thailand. Well, teams on a very close level participate here, so anything is possible. To be honest because of many reasons i didn't really have the time to watch womens EQT ( that's part of why i am now trying to catch as much women's games as possible ) besides Polish matches and the final, so I don't really know how the Dutch/Italian players performed there, but I really wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them wouldn't manage to qualify, as especially the Asian teams play on really high level here, so i Too think Thailand / Korea can be a very dangerous opponents to everyone and qualify to RIO. And Asian teams are typically good at women's volley ( China, Japan, Thailand, Korea are all really good ) TBH right now I think it will be Netherlands who has more chances of failing to qualify then Italy, not only because of today's match but also because some parts of their match vs Kazakhstan and the set they lose there proved something might not be right with that team My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO.

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted May 15, 2016 #95 Share Posted May 15, 2016 No surprises - Japan wins 3:0. Kazakhstan had its moments at the beginning of second set, but outside of that definitely weaker team, probably the weakest at this tournament. My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted May 17, 2016 #100 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Japan just lost their first set here against Korea. If they'd lose the match, only Italy would have 3 victories in 3 matches and secure their first place so far. Korea and Japan both could be 2/3rd, depending on set difference, and Netherlands would be fourth. Thailand would be in a very difficult situatio n before tommorow's match, as they will be the only team left with 3 points, so tommorows ultra hard game against Japan could decide if they will still fight for a berth to RIO. Kazskhstan and Dominican Rep. both have 0 points and basically are already eliminated. My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?
