Poland was on fire but it was a great tournament to see all the way through.
Why were on fire?!. We were better. Simple.🇵🇱✌️
Their opposite was unconscious this match. Insane play for him.
Congrats team USA for silver medal 🥈
Looking forward to see you guys coming to Japan for OQT! (I hope I could get the ticket from the waiting list 🥲)
I watched this match both on VBTV with English commentary and U-Next with Japanese commentary, it was so fun the Japanese commentators gave a lot of compliments about DeFalco, I kinda laughed when they laughed saying "it's DeFalco again" 😁 one of the commentators was Fukuzawa, former Japanese national player.
Straight out of the gate and DeFalco being a defense monster
Poland is a powerhouse. I was able to watch them live against Japan in the PH Leg. They are so strong!
Czesto zastanawiam sie z kad Azjaci biora wysokich ludzi?. 🤣🤣🤣😘🤣
ya that was such a great finale! greetings from Poland
Uwielbiam ogladac mecze Naszych Chłopków z USA 😍, zawsze na poziomie i fair play ❤POLSKA BIAŁO CZERWONI 💪💪❤❤ Erik👏
And I don't like watching matches between Poland and the USA, because the Yankees play every match with the same commitment and the Poles only play some matches for the highest stake at 100%. If Polish volleyball players play the match against the USA only at 80% or without faith in victory as a year ago in the VNL semi-final, they get a 0-3 thud. When an American sings an anthem with his hand on his heart, it is not just an empty theatrical gesture. That's why every match against the Americans must be approached as a match for life. And our volleyball players sometimes have a problem with that. Hence the humiliating 0-3 defeat, sometimes.
Eric, I just finished watching the final of you guys against Poland. I wanted you to win so bad, but I'm so pround of how hard you guys play and will keep cheering you guys on! Congrats on making the final and watching you all play is so awesome!
Congrats Team USA on Silver! Win for P in Poland was great for the sport all around We love you brah thanks the vid, ALOHA!!
I cheered so much for you guys during this final. You had such a great tournament but in this game you werent playing your best. Poland was on fire. Hugs from 🇧🇷
You play how the opponent lets you.
Just found your channel, greetings from Poland, hope we can face each other in the Olympics finals!
It was great to live on UA-cam and watch your reaction. Go USA!
loved this match! I watched it live and it was some amazing volleyball. one thing I was missing was USA’s iconic energyyy, for the Olympic gold medal match better bring way better energy haha 😉😉 even though the outcome of the match, it was amazing to watch such amazing players as a young player myself, team USA has a very strong team and a very strong future. sometimes it’s just a game of momentum and especially with Polands amazing cheering. amazing job Erik can’t wait to see you play even more
your reactions are excellent👍🏽
we Love You and we know how You love Pol
it was a pleasure to watch this match in person!! You did amazing, congrats
The Polish serve at 23-23 was actually insane! To even make that a playable pass was wild too!
I've been at the NL - POL match and noticed Poland playing a lot of their players who I considered not the starting 6. What's your thoughts on coaches doing that?
Polands so deep there bench could probably make the playoffs in a tournament like this. Having 6 players start every game in a tournament is going to wear down that player a lot, so they want to rest there starting 6 whenever possible and tbh No hate To NL but Poland is WAY better there's not really a fear of losing even with the bench. one of the Reasons USA Got so far in the Tournament is because of how good Matt Anderson was in the Quarters and Semis, but when it came time for the Finals He was unfortunately not as good most likely because of how much he Played. Hope this Helped.
@@nathanaeldykstra5004 Don't get me wrong, I agree with Poland being the better team. The NL team lacks having more than one 'star' player in my opinion, where as Poland has plenty. It was just odd seeing them make it go to five sets when I think they could've taken it in a quicker fashion.
I thought it was about giving the 'bench' players more game rhythm so they will be in playing shape in case the team needs help aside the strongest six.
As for the USA team I wanna also credit Defalco, man really stepped up his game big time! Not to mention the middles doing wonders. With the current pace of the game it always baffles me how they get double and triple blocks in game..
@@nathanaeldykstra5004 Like that you mentioned Matt. They need really good opposites to fill in for Matt in case he has a bad game. Unfortunately, the backup opposites are just not that good.
I always loved and supported team USA since ever and I will always forever. Thanks and love your youtube channel great libero Eric. Congratulations bagging the silver.
Dang, Erik, I have been waiting for your comments on the final like a frog waits for rain.
kaczmarek is a beast
I was very impressed with TJ Defalco’s performance both defense and offense. I just simply love him❤
ZAKSA POWER🐐🤝
Hi Erik, nice to see you again, love this match. go USA
Even though this didn’t go team usa’s way it was still such a fun match and a fun tournament. I saw one of the games live and it was literally the coolest experience of my life so thank you for that team usa ❤️. I love you guys so much
Vnl was so fun to watch this year! So glad there is volleyball league outside the Olympics now
Your Filipino fans were rooting for you all as the winner for gold.. hope to see your team at the VNL 2024 in the Philippines.
I am glad that the best libero in the world and one of the three best MB players in the world play for ZAKSA 🔥
You guys played great volleyball. Hope to see you again in Anaheim next year. We were so happy to meet you there. Btw, you mentioned when we met that you’ll be playing some summer tournaments. When and where is the next tournament?
Also, you look good and relaxed in this video.
Take care and so proud of the whole team!!!
What do you think about Zatorski getting an MVP award for the tournament? I am from Poland and for me it was a kind of shocker 🎉
Erik where are you ?we miss you
Always support you and USA team 🎉❤
Congratulations USA silver medal ! We love you ❤️ 🇵🇱❤️🇺🇸
Did anyone notice that Erik looks so much different when the camera is inverted or is that just me❤❤❤
USA are on fireeee like u guys are all monster and titans during the game!! compared in training cuz u guys always have fun reallly love iiiiit whooo!!♥️♥️
Argentina vs USA and Argentina vs Japan were exciting matches, too!
Brazil v Japan was too but why wasn’t Leal playing ?
@@snaz388 yes!. I'm not sure but I assume he had a rest as some leading players don't show up until the third or the final round in VLN.
Poland the best. !!!!
I'm from Poland, I'm against the fans' whistling and booing of the opposing team's volleyball players, in recent years a lot of big events took place in Poland and we knew a lot of this type of behavior, I personally am not in favor of such behavior, I know that some players are tired of it, but let's remember that the harder the task, the greater the reward, I really like watching American volleyball players, they are very dynamic and fast on the pitch
This was great game!😊
Mecz był bardzo dobry , obie drużyny grały na wysokim poziomie . Nie podobało mi się zachowanie drużyny Amerykańskiej przy dekoracji , trudno im się pogodzić z tym ze nie wygrali i okazywali swoje lekceważenie .
Dokładnie, bardzo źle to wyglądało
USA is always strong. It's always a pleasure to watch our team to play with you guys.
It was a good game
Nice video :)
Dave Smith ages like fine wine 🍷
hahaha, agreed. Smith just seems so reliable
Hey Erik, congrats on getting 2nd! First time watching Nations League and was fun to watch your and Japans games! Maybe you could react to some of the Japan games? Cheers!
I must admit the US aren't my favourite team. But, I've been Kędzierzyn's fan basically since they reached the CL final for the first time a bit more than twenty years ago. As I live abroad, obviously I don't have many opportunities to see them live, but I saw the Ljubljana final last year, the Trentino quarterfinal and Torino final this year. I am happy to have Eric Shoji in the club. And David Smith, too.
It's quite interesting to see that game analysed from the American perspective.
Thanks but would be interested to get an analysis of the sets you lost too. What are the mental things you are doing if you are down? How to certain players on your team react? Do they push and lift spirits or do they get angry and aggressive?
I am a bit sad when you lose but still, I love you all guys cheering team USA since the 2016 Rio Olympics
Wow, we're jumping right to the end this time.
I've never played volleyball, but as somebody with knee issues (yay gymnastics) I'm in physical pain every time I see these, especially when there are digs in which the defender leans pretty far to one side (tell me if there's a shorter name for those I know nothing lol). But that was a really awesome set, especially at the end when it was so close! just one question: do volleyball players have bad posture? like, you're always supposed to have your shoulders over for passing, so does that also translate to your normal posture?
I just Love USA for volleyball and Japan too!
Erik Shoji FILIPINO pride
I’m not Filipino sorry!
We have a misinformation victim. 😭
BEH DELETE 😭😭😭😭
hope to see you guys meet again in Paris 2024 gold medal match! 🤩
Where does he find the match filmed from this angle?
I hope next year VNL will also bring team USA Here in Philippines to play...
when will there be a video about the pass guide from maich
I hope to see you react also to Japan vs Italy battle for bronze! ❤
Will there be “how to read a hitter/blocker” videos in the future?
I think the saying Always the bridesmaid, never the bride suits Team USA. This is like the 3rd Silver Medal already. I hope there will be a gold soon so you guys won't be called "chokers"
WOW. I live in K-K and have never been on any ZAKSA match. Perhaps it is a good time to change it. Greetings to Ludwika from ZAKSA and to the team of course.
Hi erik! Could you put up any practices of micahs and josh for us setters? Ty and good luck
Poland and USA are the best teams on the world now
I think you won this set because Poland wasn't ready for Aaron Russell to play and I didn't know why Grbić change Fornal for Leon in moment when Leon could nice serve
Hey Erik, could you react to a Footvoley match? (Futevolei in portuguese) Its one of the most popular sports in Brazil right now
when is the next video Erik, we miss u..
im sorry ,i wont watch this. im still hurt. Anderson & Erik ♥️
Congrats on the amazing tournament you had!! Can you also react to the womens final it was also amazing
Could anybody tell me how to watch this baseline view?
Why is Leon playing for Poland? What happened to Cuba?
11:05 Eric, where have you been? haha... You're nice person. Regards
Poland, USA and Italy are going to dominate few next years for sure 😮 France downgraded a lot 😢
poland and usa are dominant for a long while now and italy has started
Polandn outplayed you guys but none the less you get the silver.
I'm relatively new to watching volleyball, and I know the libero wears the different jersey, but why did Poland have a second player wearing a different jersey?
It is for the equal jersey project that stands with equality between men and women
congrats team USA!!!
TJ digs
Defalco 👏🔥
Congratulations team USA for the silver Medal, your the best team ever. we love USA team from Philippines ❤ 🎉🎊⚘💞
why did poland team have 2 off color jerseys on the court?
SUPER że mała Polska pokonała hegemona ame rykańskiego. Oni niedorastali Polsce do pięt.
polska jest nr 1 w oficjalnym rankingu od dawna...
Please react World championship 2010 men
Poland rule! :D
🔥🔥🔥
รอบนี้เชียร์ทีมUSAค่ะ
คิดไม่ออกว่าUSAแพ้โปแลนด์ตรงไหน แต่ไม่เป็นไรรอเชียร์โอลิมปิคเชียร์USAได้เหรียญทอง
❤
Poland always tries to recycle the ball even if they can get the kill they want to have everyone of their players into the game and focus on it
why does poland have 3 differnent jerseys on the court?
There are the normal the white one are for the "normal" Players. The red one is for the libero every team has. And the third yellow/dark blue one is one that's only in the VNL finals. Pretty sure it's for the MVP to wear.
@@nishinoja3775 The yellow and black one is the equal jersey i think its for like gender equality and stuff
@@corylai6678 yes but do you by chance know who wears it? Christenson wore it last VNL if I remember correctly. Sekita wore it for Poland. Really not sure how they decide who gets to wear it.
The libero wears the dark blue one and the stripe one is for promoting equal opportunities for such things as gender and everything : if my understanding is correct, one player from each team in the finals wears them at least for the first set. It's impressive both Leon and Erik wear that equal opportunity jersey in this second set♪
What nation ended up winning the green card prize?
We did!
I want the finals of the vnl,not in Poland or Italy..I want the finals in our country Philippines
Kenapa di pertandingan penting USA selalu kalah😢
Sorry guys I know this might be a silly question but why does Poland have 3 types of clothes??
And why Leon have the same one as USA libero 😂
🏐💪
Team USA ....WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO vs France,Poland,Brasil,Italy,Slovenia,Argentina,Japan........Matt,Holt, Rusell,Shoji, Christenson...YOUR LAST OLIMPICS....DNT SEE YOU ON THE PODIUM......USA DESERVES MUCH BETTER...BUT...NO YOUNG STRONG PLAYERS TO HELP STARTING LINE UP....
We’ve all done bad things (lying, stealing, cheating, etc) meaning that we are all imperfect (we are all sinners) Every bad deed and bad person must be punished (think of criminals and jail) And we all deserve to be punished too (death and hell) But Jesus died on the cross so we can escape punishment
If we forsake our bad deeds and follow Jesus, we can have eternal life, but also a more fulfilled life right now.
If you are dealing with any pain whatsoever, offer it to Jesus and He'll heal you!
I think players like you should give chance to younger ones who play better than you!!
Like always American’s propaganda shows 1 out of 3 games the wining one . Why don’t you show whole game where Poland whooped your ass!?
Usually Poland loses, but that day was the Polish team's lucky day. It's hard to win against a lucky team❤😊
😂 Poland> USA
😂😂😂 śmieszny jesteś z tym komentarzem
Erik, how's your Polish doing? 😉 You've been a huge part of ZAKSA's foundation for 2 seasons now. Do you understand at least some of our language? Love to see you rock it more in the upcoming PlusLiga season! ❤
In sport, knowledge of local curses is essential :) Even the Polish chess grandmaster Paweł Teclaf, when he made a dramatic mistake at the end of the game during the blitz World Champ and fell off his chair (the video of this incident was a hit on the web), he shouted: ''Kur.. mać !''
@@krzysztofizdebski1223 Well, that's not exactly what I had in mind 😝
Cześć, kurwa, kurwa mać, jak sie masz, dowidzenia, ja pierdole, to cały alfabet polaka😀
I'm sure he knows at least ONE word. You know the one.
To był zajebisty mecz
This set was kinda hard to watch as a fan from Poland haha imagine being up 16:12 and then losing the set. But always fun to watch you play against your ZAKSA teammates.
I think one of my all time favorite players to watch is Matt. DeFalco is working his way up my ranks with just how much better he’s gotten over the last couple of years
