Erik rightfully exposing Ben's celebrations lmao

I love how Erik is able to admit his own team's faults and admit when the other team does something well. Despite automatically having a bias, he barely shows it and commentates and analyses the plays as if he were an outside person. Its not just him pointing out the goods of his team and the bads of the other. Its even, which makes it a great watch (especially for someone like me who loves the sport but doesn't know much) :)

11:33 the japanese libero actually pancaked the ball after the dig but the play was dead due to 4 touches. Amazing reaction from the lib, jesus

What's more stressful is when you are at the point in a game where it's your serve and if you miss, your team loses and if you go for an easy ball they get the advantage to attack aggressively.. It's soooo stressful, it takes fukin courage to be aggressive in that serve

Thank you Erik, it was funny how Ben celebrate 😂

First of all, love to see a reaction both Team USA AND Team Japan, two of the teams I’m the most familiar with. Also, love the thumbnail, haha. The laser eyes are a KZread thumbnail staple. Nice to see Japan’s captain, Yanagida, playing in this set. Also interesting to see the ever-popular Nishida at an early point in his career. His jersey number here is 32, while I’ve always known it as 11. He definitely feels like more of a work-in-progress with his hitting and serving here (on a national level; I’m sure he could’ve destroyed me when he was like 13). His serves in his recent V-League match on the team JTEKT Stings were a huge weapon.

I just want to say that I've watched so many of your videos that I can remember perfectly your intro but I can't remember anything for my college exams. Anyway, yay volleyball!!!

You should react to more of your professional games in Russia!! They are so interesting to watch!

That miscommunication from JP in the beginning was probably because Nishida was still very young at the time(I think he was 18) and not really used to playing with the team yet. Not sure tho. Also your pronunciation of Goiânia was on point!!

Hi Shoji, I used to play volleyball up to the middle 90’s and it was quite hard to defend some attacks because I couldn’t see the ball due to their high speed. Now that the ball is a little lighter than it was at my time, does that still happens? Thanks!!
