I like watching the women's game because theres more rallies. Men's game is too fast. Just one spike *BOOM* its over..They should raise the net for mens game as they can jump so high its not even fair..

[@mattstartsomething]

37:12 that serve and that recover are pure athleticism. my god.

[@invertedangel]

announcer: the dominican republic athletically match the united states. they're a dangerous team. dominincan republic: serves out of bounds

[@jennafromstatefarm6689]

Dominican* smh

[@truetommi7449]

[@sierrastokes9897]

Yeah but it was just a bad time for them everybody has there bad times

[@ghostuchiha2875]

[@a333kc]

let’s see if every one of your serves makes it in every time 🙈

[@tructhui]

[@jeaninethequeen4613]

Alisha used to go to my school before she graduated! Her mom is my volleyball coach! I love her!

[@kaylamccalla1251]

39:18 she hit the splits 😂😂

[@miamaya3805]

Her right leg was bent so it wasn't a split ( sorry I'm a dancer I had to say that lol)

[@kittycatnya1558]

+Kayla McCalla I know right :DDD

[@ellebelly4118]

+MiaMaya wtf leave

[@haleylovett5576]

I did that in a game one time it hurt like crap but we got a point so it was worth it😂

[@chengissac1455]

P

[@Liseykearney]

why does Rivera just sit there whenever she misses a dig

[@yeehaw2236]

because she's a bad sport. look at 35:06

[@AnitaBekka]

right lol

[@iheartanimals4606]

She does that a lot. Just not shaking mistakes off.

[@Addie-jc9ct]

She needs to step up her game she's a bad sport and in the middle when she fell she stayed there like every other time

[@athletevball]

I really love how most of these players were in the epic night of NCAA semi's in 2008! #GoUSA

[@CrazyKewlx3]

I agree!! Love how you think. Miss you old friend!! :)

[@royetteyyy4013]

I will never forget those games. Those games still pump me before any game or practice I play in.

[@munawarkhattak5318]

+Catherine Alex ok

[@iClone316]

I need to to go back and watch them

[@kassyl4355]

Dominican Republics attitudes were terrible, no wonder they didn't win. Gotta keep that positive up-beat attitude if you're winning or losing not only for yourself, but the sake of the team!

[@isabellaurapichardo4564]

Eyy si tu no ta jugando no hable mierdaa

[@anxietysloth7]

Es verdad! Se necesita una buena actitud para tener éxito! Juego voleibol!

[@kassyl4355]

I can comment on whatever I choose, I'm not "talking shit" just simply stating an opinion. I played volleyball in high school, this sport needs a constant positive attitude while playing, you always need that momentum of support for your team.

[@valoruniversity]

but they got ass tho....

[@TheHellRanger]

+Valor University sure do

[@hithere324]

Every time the crowd thinks their team will win the point: The point: **sike** The crowd: *HEY*

[@BeeRitt]

Does the Dominican Republic team not practice serving or something?😂 They missed 12 serves!! Rivera by herself missed about 6 of those!

[@geovannyz7238]

Brittany G. It doesn't matter how much you practice you have.... if you are a true Volleyball player you know that doesn't matter sometimes you have your bad days and with the team is worse! You can even be a whole season even if the previous season you were the best team!

[@jeremygonchakhailov]

BITCH THE BALL THEY USE IS NOT THE FIVB OFFICIAL BALL SO MAYBE TEAM U.S.A TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

[@rubennypula1555]

we beat them in norceca

[@emmam1203]

21:15 that was probably one of the best saves I’ve seen in my life

[@vashappenin4910]

I laughed so Much "Rivera is the deadliest Spiker" Rivera: *misses Serve*

[@luvbrooky]

serving and hitting are two different skills that require two different things

[@Elisuite]

Courtney Thompson is my freaking spirit animal she just has so much tenacity and heart

[@haxicle5378]

[@lunaceleste6965]

I've been practicing volleyball for about two months now, I have improved a lot and I was proud of it. I practice and train everyday by myself or with my brother, and watch tutorials of volleyball. Now that I've watched this, it inspired me. I'll comment here again after one or two years, and lets see if there is a difference :)

[@seto2883]

It's been 4 years

[@saxebbel1986]

So many of the serves miss.. wtf

[@madisons1662]

the FIFTH grade team AT MY SCHOOL made MORE SERVES than the players IN THE OLYMPIC QUALIFIERS

[@kieragunther3113]

+Madison s they do harder serves and serve towards zones...sometimes they make mistakes

[@NXeta]

Kiera Gunther but if their accuracy/success rate with those kinds of serves are like 60% maybe it's not worth the risk in Olympics

[@anibaltv845]

They weren't putting all the force or spin to it they were just playing it

[@icyboy771z]

because their skill is not on par with the USA, they took a risk to serve dangerously. They know if they were to play heads on with USA they will lose.

[@hannahhoftiezer6274]

Did anyone else think that all three scores would be 25-19?

[@kawaii_michelle8862]

I have played volleyball since I was in 2nd grade For about 1 month I just did it underhand and then Ifrom there I just did it over hand.I am really good at it. Now I'm in 7th grade☺️

[@bishopfrancisco8628]

Crazy how people can hate and throw disrespect on another countries team... they just had a bad game, people are so quick to judge off one game... people need to learn how just enjoy the game and show respect for every team that plays no matter how good or bad they played...

[@liyadeen9164]

When I saw Fawcett and Glass (my two ro-models ever since I was small) I literally almost started to cry. I've been waiting for this!

[@miolmfao9154]

When I cry about how I do at volleyball I do watch these videos and study them and the teams every move it helps

[@bryancleary7677]

The moment you realize your kids would be VB Gods with any of these women. Especially, Ms. Glass (setter)

[@kierce4030]

I'm so nervous, I have a tournament this weekend and I just recently started. I'm also Middle Blocker...

[@charlestonrougny6853]

Wow this was posted 10 months ago but I relate so hard I had to reply. I've been going to a volleyball camp over the summer and the coaches keep trying to force me into the middle blocker or hitter position because I'm the tallest one there. The only problem is that I suckkkk at all the positions meant for tall players, and I'm afraid that when I tryout for my school team, their gonna assign me one of those roles. I'm stressed tbh:,)

[@SophiaBunnellGoalie]

Charleston Rougny hitting is very much a thing that comes with practice. Most players hitting is limited by height, strength and technical knowledge, and only 2 of those can be gained. You are already tall so if you work hard you could be really good

[@marleedawn5161]

So a setter...

[@SophiaBunnellGoalie]

Marlee Dawn actually i’m a 5’8 middle blocker who has to work a lot to jump high enough before i even get to worry about the things that person needs to

[@daymakerjaime3281]

I relate to this 😔 I’m 5’4 and I’m expected to be able to hit. I really hard but I finally got the hang of it 🙂 and I had to practice hard to learn to jump high.

[@rsalazar5418]

Theres no team like our team go usa so proud of you guys

[@lexiegunter9701]

This makes me really ready for middle school volleyball get to play middle!! 8th grade here I come

[@darvidkoh2707]

USA lost to Serbia and Russia in the 2015 World Cup and were denied a place in Rio then. These two teams will prove to be tough opponents in Rio. China's young team is still a work in progress and succumbs easily to pressure which was how the USA defeated them in the 2015 World Cup. They could not cope with the relentless attacks. But they are fast learners and will no doubt prove to be formidable opponents in Rio.

[@gabbyvacca88]

That one girl on the Dominican Republic team kept trying to pancake without even trying to bump it. I'm like what the heck is she doing😂

[@makaylaelliott8541]

Haikyuu brought me here😅💓 but I loved Volleyball anyways.

[@lillycameli9517]

Who is watching in 2016 and is routing for America?!

[@heavendennis5133]

Me!!! I can't wait to start volleyball that's why it's better to be tall 💪🏽💪🏽

[@gabrielaochoa2708]

+H. Andrea An'nie Dennis not always, there is a girl at my school who is short and she plays volleyball, her spikes are amazing. Don't say that only tall people are good.

[@-potato1975]

+Gabriela Ochoa Sam here mine were also the first one to learn how to serve 💗
