THIS is exactly how you broadcast a game. Excellent camera angle, excellent commentary, excellent production quality. Good on you guys for bringing such quality to the volleyball world and getting more good volleyball content out there to the public.

[@joonkim7530]

Honestly, I think the camera angle isn't so awesome. I'd rather see middle court.

[@joonkim7530]

Just looking at the live chat at the end of the game; I think it's funny that anyone can re-watch this and put it to slow-mo and see that the ball was inside the lines by about 6 inches. At normal speed it looks iffy, but at slow-motion, you can clearly see it was in.

[@itstaylor04]

It was a great decision to let Erik Shoji stay inside the court on the 5th set. His presence calms everyone down and at the same time he can energize everyone in their team. McIntosh is yet to prove himself that he can be effective on the defense of the USA team as Shoji has the greatest digs and saves in volleyball history. It's good that he's getting the exposure tho.

[@gissneric]

McIntosh might not have the experience but he made some great digs in the past games but i agree when its 5th set let the veteran player stay.

[@DCM1970]

USA is perhaps the calmest team in the world. Even at times when Cuba was superior, at no point did the team become destabilised. They lost concentration in the third and fourth sets, but recovered in the fifth. Shoji is a complete player and Christenson is a magician. Cuba continues to evolve. USA continues to improve its performance in order to do well in the pre-Olympics. A very well-trained, intelligent and physically strong team, and the blocking has improved a lot. Weber is doing the team a lot of good. And I can't say enough about the beautiful DeFalco and Matt Anderson.

[@jenwil2875]

Proud of Cuba for fighting back and almost pulling off the reverse sweep. Also, nice to see McIntosh getting some court time with the main starters. Fun game!

[@edgardoimperial9488]

Many thanks for uploading the game....ur channel rocks....keep it up ..

[@runnermcturtle5893]

Cuba is returning to world of great volleyball, it is great!

[@James-dt7ky]

Joel Despaigne approves this comment.

[@rhodvalenciaga2743]

Gosh! Christenson is really a complete player! Setting, blocking, digging and even attacking.

[@fvckcoriander]

Thats why he’s one of the best setters in the world. Probably the best currently.

[@efrainjaime8302]

These are the players LINE UP FOR Team USA...Matt Anderson,MAX Holt,Aaron Rusell,TJ Defalco,Micha CHRISTENSON,Eric Shoji (L)&.....David Smith.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dashingheart7763]

Great match. Congratulations to both teams. My fav team USA still have that magic touch of winning.

[@tonchrysoprase8654]

Seriously, why do they have to do this in WV? The NCAA finals in the DC Metro area where pretty packed in a much bigger arena. I can't believe USA/Cuba is that empty. What a waste.

[@peterjohnson388]

Showing volleyball from behind the server makes it much more to watch

[@ZaldyCalica-wr2dc]

Congrats USA

[@juanmiguelrosquete2866]

🏐🇨🇺🏐🇨🇺 They play like never before and lose like always, jjj

[@rafaeliniguez9211]

They did lose but they win the hearts and respect of everyone watching I fell in love with Cuba volleyball when I watched them live

[@SuperMekey]

They should have sub Herrera completely in the 5th from they were 3 points up

[@pgarret7218]

Herrera is one of the best and more "colorful"offensive players in the Today's International Volley Scene,but he has a problem. with his incapacity to control his mental hiper state and agressiveness at all times,been uncapable to appeal to "tricks" when he sees,no chances to be successful on his powerful but not always well structured attacks@@SuperMekey.

[@andreseduardogonzalezsanab3635]

I was thinking exactly the same. Herrera is not a reliable opposite and I think it has been shown both with Cuba and Perugia. He seems to really struggle mentally during the matches.@@pgarret7218

[@MR-ot2nh]

Another Rosquete here, from California

[@KamzWaqa-ep8pd]

Let's go team usa

[@antonioeduardodeoliveiraal8924]

🇧🇷 🇺🇲

[@artsyone1]

Great broadcast, great commentators, shitty venue. That place should be packed!

[@DennisDinges]

Level of first set is disappointingly bad

[@TheSchmuel]

6 people in the seats at this match??? wow

[@gissneric]

Thats what they get for choosing West Virginia.

[@superpp3704]

I have a huge crush on Micah C. ❤

[@marsuspono7413]

micah already married

[@ard8785]

Nothing has changed with the USA brand of volleyball - just chill. No improvements. Still the chill, lazy team... Lazy in offense; lazy in defense; ever reliant that their power game will wreck the opponent... Such brand of play will never win against teams like Poland or Serbia. Will even have the greatest difficulty to win against either Brazil, Italy, France, Germany. Or even against Russia, that is, if Russia will be allowed to play in the 2024 Paris O. I like the USA Team... But I won't risk my dollar on them on a betting game... Never.... Not ever... Not now... Not yet...

[@carlosposda6913]

A Cuba le falta un armador y un libero de categoría, sino, nunca ganarán nada.
