Eleftheros Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Thailand lost 3-0 (25-17, 25-17, 25-17). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithai12 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Volleyball is a sport where height makes a difference, and watching the Polish and Thai girls compete close to the net couldn't have made this clearer. On top of that, the home advantage: it was amost scary too see the court full of red-white supporters. All in all, a predictable outcome and well done to Thai players. Wish them better chance tonight with Croatia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the core of the team has been together for quite some time, and they compensate well for their relative lack of height, but up against the very best nations, usually fall short, so to speak. Definitely an admirable group of athletes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomangosteen Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 A good win for Thailand v Croatia - 3-0 (25-18, 25-13, 25-21) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithai12 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 btw, all results and match schedule can be found here. The "highlights", about 5-min recap of each game, can be easily found on you tube for free. The full games, including replay of past ones, can be watched with a rather cheap subscription via streaming from the same site. The games in which Thailand is playing are shown live on public TV channels, though you need some patience as the exact TV channel changes every time. Next one this evening, THA-KOR, 7pm our time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that with some other teams where the ladies seem like bulldogs on the leash. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Ladie's volleyball seems to be about the only sport which gets blanket TV coverage in Thailand and my GF and her friends are glued to it whenever it's on. I find it eminently watchable as well......not sure why????? When she was in England I managed to get it on my TV via an Android box, which she was very please about. The problem was she discovered she could watch the Thai soaps every day as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
