Erik is on fire this game. Those digs 👏👏

[@808aaq]

He was the reason they got to win the match!

[@808aaq]

TJ Defalco came in hot in the ending of the 3rd set! He's definitely an exciting player to watch! He never disappoints! Such a BEAST!!!!

[@sherwinflorendo11]

Those 110+ kph super spike from the back

[@francine214]

best spiker on the attack line

[@MH-oc4de]

So good! It bodes well that the US kept its nerve in the 3rd set and didn't substitute its starters (e.g., Christanson) back in. Great start to the tournament!

[@oldfrend]

they put in the subs cuz it was garbage time? haha

[@Bhrr_Gkr]

Congratulations to USA.They are very strong 👏👌 Defalco was great in the third set...

Great to see Anderson and Sokolov playing for their NT. Young players in their teams can learn from these greats. Also nice to see Nikolov, currently a NCAA star playing in the international game with his home country.

[@kloslevi2547]

Nikolov is done with ncaa

[@elijah4882]

That service run TJ had at the end was incredible 🔥

[@ParthPatel-oc2oc]

Haven't seen a breakdown like that at this level of volleyball in a while Bulgaria blew every chance they had. Props to the US for never quitting.

Great game!!! Very impressive on both sides. Congratulation Team USAce. Keep up the passion and intensity on court each game.

[@DaBigKahuna22]

Back to back services aces for sets 1 & 2 and an incredible comeback to finish it in set 3!! LET'S F***ing Go USA 🇺🇸

The next match vs Poland will be a thing to look forward to. USA is more complete now that Matt is here.

I can't wait too. Greetings from Poland :)

good hard work. 21-24 --> 26-24🔥 USA is getting stronger. Shoji was great in this match. Go USA!

[@hbomb_101]

I feel like USA is the one team that will be good for a long time. They have really built up this program for sustainability. I think a lot of teams just do it for short term success, but usa has been building up this program for many years

[@laserhawk221]

Not really. They have no opposites in the pipeline to replace an aging Anderson and shoji and russel and Christendom will be questionable after Paris because of there age only have one quad left in the

[@hbomb_101]

@@laserhawk221 Russell, shoji and Christenson are quite young still. You have a point with Matt Anderson, but the other players should be there for a while Remember: usa some gold in 2008 with a very old team. Usa has probably the most cohesive team of any national team

[@laserhawk221]

@@hbomb_101 USA has a window of just right now. Shoji and Micah can push to maybe 2 more Olympics because age doesn’t affect setter and liberos as much but russel is going to be done after Paris as well and they still don’t have an opposite for Paris. Hopefully gabi Garcia can work out but I’m not as high on him as others. Defalco and Tuaniga are really good though and will be for a long time

[@odjiemabutezapata7983]

Согласен, Болгария показала достойную игру. Они проиграли в каких-то ньюансах. Очень обидное поражение.

[@dim4o2202]

Thanks, but bulgarian national team now is far away from our best times...

[@LangDzu]

I sure do not want to pass those rockets from Defalco in late 3rd set. What a match for both teams!!! GOOOO USAAAAAA!!!! 🇺🇸

The prime years of Sokolov are gone. He was truly a beast but at his time

[@elijah4882]

Yeah props to him tho cause he’s been carrying Bulgaria in the world champs

[@Thomas_Erickson]

No he’s still a top 5 right side in the world. USA was just clearly better in every other position on the court.

[@fvckcoriander]

@@Thomas_Erickson Agreed. Mental wise, USA is better as well. They’re very composed and steady even when Micah was out and they were losing on the third set.

[@miemiehandley9813]

What an amazing game USA, that 3rd set was a miracle.

[@simplysimple7628]

When USA plays with that tenacity and agression, they are easily a top 3 team in the world. Sometimes they get to comfortable and a bit cocky. If they keep that aggressiveness momentum they are friggin good man.

Who is the 2nd best libero in the world? Shoji or Zatorski? I really can't decide, they're both spectacular.

Anybody knows what happened to Rado Parapunov? He's not on the Bulgarian team for some reason, he was their starting opposite and played for University of Hawaii.

We played with Rado in VNL, but Sokolov and Karyagin are better in the moment.

@@dim4o2202 I was a fan of Rado when he was playing with University of Hawaii, and still am. Thanks for clarifying.

It's 2022, why do all volleyball highlights look like 480p upscaled to 1080p, and in maaaaaybe 20 fps. Can't even see the ball on serves or spikes from how low the fps is.

[@martinsalvdor1665]

Bulgaria could have won the last 2 sets. USA's composure at the last stretch of the sets made them win it.

[@maydiademmasibog5889]

Defalco save the set. Congratulations team USA 🇺🇲 Although they are going to match up to Poland tomorrow. It's hard for me to cheer which of them since they are my two faves. 😂

[@Ildarkazanli]

Я в предвкушении великолепного зрелища, матча Польша-США. С уверенностью можно говорить, досрочный финал.

[@lordelohim3327]

Defalco: Not Today!

[@TigerKittay]

They rested Christenson for the Poland game.

[@Ildarkazanli]

Я тоже так думаю, он дирижер игры всей команды. От него много зависит.

[@oldfrend]

why was christenson subbed out? was he hurt?

[@izcariot100]

I think Speraw wants to boost TJ's morale coz he was blocked multiple times. Josh and TJ been know each other since they were young before college, I would say. I though Speraw would sub him with Kessel, but no instead he took Micah out of the game.. That was insane 4 points service run from Defalco. I noticed the commentator excitement when Defalco scores an attack turns towards the ball speed.

[@bzzyyfrr]

the point is christenson is fine and he has no injuries

[@galaxy_mosaic3587]

congrats team USA

[@nathancerbo7050]

So it’s super possible Christenson injured his leg on the 3rd of this game

[@hannaewelina8282]

Poor young Nikolov...

[@terenceqin9391]

Could someone explain why Speraw put in Tuaniga for the third set? Feels like Anderson, Russel, and Defalco were there to help train him...

[@btleiunmke3140]

Agreed seems like only DEFALco could score with Tuaniga

[@raymondzamora2567]

I agree to that. There is a slight change of game pace when tuaniga comes in. I think he is trained to do that. But then again more tricks on him.

[@terenceqin9391]

@@raymondzamora2567 While I am certain it looks much easier than it is, Tuaniga looks clumsy/idle on the court, compared with Christenson. I did wonder that if the bar was too high for him while imagining what would have Christenson done in the third set.

[@izcariot100]

Agreed!! Micah was having great connection with Anderson and Russell, but Defalco. I was surprised Speraw kept TJ eventhough he was blocked on many occasions. Speraw instead replaced Micah with Josh which I think all in favor with TJ. That's alot of balls for TJ, serve hard ( 24-22) close on a losing match ended with a win 24-26. He is like Ngapeth of US team.

[@Thomas_Erickson]

Precautionary injury.

[@brokencontroller71]

This ain't the team USA that missed every other serve at the Olympics!

[@andrewjacobs4832]

Maxwell Holt retiring from the national team explains that partly.

[@btleiunmke3140]
