canada had some trashy play. no spirit. japan played that one with honor and spirit and deserved the win. good showing.

That must've been a real awkward spirit circle after the game...

#9 should quit ultimate

At 33:40, he couldn't get the goal so he makes up some excuse for a foul. Not to mention his big time travel on the wrong pivot foot. I'm glad Canada couldn't score

1:20:26 Hibbert can't cover his man and loses the game. Then won't shake hands. What a loser.

Just watch point 17 of this game and you'll get the gist of it. (Starts at 31:25) That said, here's all the contact and unsportsmanlike conduct. The worst include an asterisk. *4:50, first major contact. Only the second point. *11:11, guys in bottom right of screen (Japan #29) shoving each other a lot. Ends in each shoving the other. 12:24, nothing crazy... 12:36, WTF is that Japanese mark doing hugging the thrower on the very next possession... 15:49, The marking has been very tight so far this game and Japan foul here 16:43, ?... very minor 17:39 18:52 20:07, Japan marker fouls 20:30, Japan marker fouls. Also lots of contact on the ensuing look. Looks a lot more like soccer with D grabbing shoulders. 21:38 22:47, Japan still marking too close, but nothing called 23:08, Japan marker fouls 24:07, Canada marker fouls 24:10, Canada marker fouls, and contact on the receiver 26:52, Japan foul and contest the call *27:40, Japan foul quite needlessly here. Same guy that got crushed last point at 24:10. Did this set off the series of dangerous defensive bids from Canada for the rest of the game? *28:45, two separate cases of contact back to back here. One where a Canadian player recklessly cranks his own teammate. (*Point 17 starts*) 31:51, Unnecessary backpacking 32:16, Canada marker fouls 33:17, Clean D by Canada 33:39, Foul? Bad sportsmanship on this call by Canada 34:08, more contact on the ensuing throw by a poaching Japan player 35:17, pileup then an intentional foul by Canada 36:13, Japan 11 shoves and picks Canada 4 37:29, Japan marker fouls 38:37, Japan marker fouls but calls something and disc returned to Canada? 39:34, Canada pushes Japan 40:20, Almost clean 40:39, a 7 second stall-out 41:39 45:00, Some audible frustration from the Canadian sideline after a minute of debating the resolution of this play where they're clearly in the wrong. *46:40, reckless backpacking bid injures a Japan player. Then at 47:07 is frustrated with the injured Japan player. Wow. *47:36, that heated player then does the exact same thing literally right after injuring a player on Japan... *46:56, That sir is a body check 49:33, actually pretty clean 49:57, Canada marker fouls 50:25 *50:34, another stupid backpacking bid by Canada (*Point 17 ends*) 55:24, Japan tries out the backpack bid 58:23, Canada marker fouls 58:37, Canada marker fouls *59:48, Stupid contact. Not close enough to even be a pick 1:00:30, On the positive side, two clean layout D attempts by Canada here. *1:03:23, Japan player feels fouled, mark thinks otherwise. The next 2 mins is pretty heated. 1:06:00, Unsportsmanlike spike and celebration *1:08:01, two more dangerous and stupid defensive bids back to back from Canada 1:09:54, Canada mark shoves handler during stoppage... 1:10:17, same couple of players here 1:10:40, Canada marker fouls *1:10:53, another reckless Canadian layout bid. At least from this angle. 1:11:04, Japan marker fouls 1:11:34, Japan with a cleeeeeeean layout D. Canada's just look reckless when this is what they should look like. 1:14:45 1:15:11 1:15:46 1:17:44 1:17:52, Other gameplay 3:35, disc put in play on defending endzone cone @ forced sideline *3:56, goal scored because of quick movement off sideline 6:13, failed poach leads to goal 7:14, Kichikawa (#12) perfect huck 9:51, oof that's a rough turnover 12:45, Kichikawa would've made this 13:23, definitely in. Bad eyes or bad spirit by Canada here 14:38, great clean bid by Japan 14:45, I am a Kichikawa fanboy *17:30, great movement here to score, starting with reset off forced sideline *18:43, Scoring on forced sideline. Not swinging and using the width. 21:01, 😳 22:12, nice open side reset. Also Kichikawaaaaaaaa!! 23:32, A bad Canadian huck 23:59, disc put in play on defending endzone line near forced sideline 24:55, disc put in play on defending endzone cone @ forced sideline, and Japan returns the favour from 9:51. 32:35, I like Kichikawa's scoop move here 37:15, Kichikawa ain't infallible. Calls a timeout at 36:28 after a long point, but then turns it over. 38:21, I like this no pivot backhand break, right under the arm of the too-close defender. 39:00, Turnover on reset to breakside. Receiver was open but cut away. 40:33, A difficult reset to open side 42:35, Kichikawa with a terrible huck 48:34, reset to break side 49:28, disc put in play on defending endzone line near forced sideline 50:13, reset to open side 50:40, 2 poor turnovers back to back here *50:59, Awesome work here by Kichikawa to end this 20 minute long point finally, and after a sprint downfield to cover on defense. 54:17, great reset to the open side 54:30, this goal is just so clean. No huck, no endzone vert stack. Just ho straight to a goal. 56:35, great deep poach here. Even if this throw wasn't short, it would've been heavily covered by Canada. 1:06:00, EZO on forced sideline @ cone 1:09:40, turnover on a reset to the breakside 1:12:25, Reset to the breakside 1:12:33, Reset to the breakside 1:15:03, clumsy cutting on this possession, one big poach 1:19:51, Universe point. Kichikawa!

wow this is an epic analysis! Maybe game deserve another video, a 11 years later analysis

33:39 canadian traveled to throw it, gets no contact at ALL, then calls a foul for his shit throw? cheating at its best

watch closely at 28:51 as morgan hibbert's defensive bid sends him careening into the only player on his team who might actually have had a play on the disc. It's funny.

33:48 is a fucking bullshit call it was a legit turn over.

Kudos to ulti TV for camera work - the video is shot from the middle of the field, you can see most of the action from thrower to cutter, and the camera zooms in when appropriate.

As an American I didn't have allegiance to either team, but by the end, I couldn't help but root for Japan. Or against Canada, more precisely. Just flat out dirty playing by the Canucks, and complete lack of sportsmanship in the foul calls. Shameful.

Literally the worst part was at 47:00 when the #9 clearly bids into the back of the Japanese player, injures him, then proceeds to joke and rip the disc away as though it's okay.

I'm Canadian and I didn't like what the Canadians did after scored a goal. Scream at the face of another player, no respect, jump on another player for no reason. I'm happy that Japan won the game. Sorry if I made some mistakes.

Casey Hallis u didn’t like only the celebration? Really? What about their mma style?

Canada's pullers were line fowling like crazy... were there not observers there? Or did it not really matter? They also traveled often too. I'm surprised not more was called

You can tell the commentator who keeps getting talked over isn’t pleased with the egregious intentional fouls and disgusting sportsmanship of the Canadian players, but the other blabber mouth is so thrilled and excited by it he can’t get a word in.

Watching 1:06:00 then 1:20:30 is sooooooooo satisfying. As a Canadian I am appalled that some of these boys represented our nation. Glad Japan won and hopefully the bad apples watched this game back and grew in character afterwards

48:00 that was a straight tackle.

Booo on Canada . such low sportsmanship . what a disgrace

Im here in 2019, and let me tell you. That was the most unsportsmanlike game I have ever watched. The canadians were cussing on the field after fouls were called on them. That is terrible. They have no right to act rude like that espeically when they were traveling more times than I could count. Shame on the canadians who played with bad sportsmanship in this game. Im proud of the Japanese for playing with honor and good spirit

Thank you for the upload! Much thanks.

Team Canada should watch this and reflect. That's just shameful sportsmanship on the field.

I hate to say it but as a Canadian ultimate player I'm glad we lost this game, we didn't deserve to win because our spirit was so awful.

OMG dude, look at #9 canada 46:00 - 47:00... he literally is tackling dudes... I would love to see him play contact football and see him get freaking destroyed...

Even if the final score had been 17 - 8 Canada, Japan would have won that game. I would be embarrassed to play with Hibbert after a game like that.

Not sure if Stefan (commentator) was really meaning that it was a "nice bid" we were pulling 19 hour days to get all the footage... so we blame lack of sleep.....

Stef Rapazzo fell short on a number of occasions to call out the Canadians for their dirty play. Instead, he saw fit to hype their "intensity." The other announcer, Liam, called it like it was. Lack of sleep is no excuse.

omg @ 12:00 the camera just BARELY misses what looks to have been an insane catch! So sad they zoomed in. It's on the field behind this one at the top.

I think where it all started to go downhill was at 11:18. That little bit of chippiness in the middle of the field probably caused some resentment from the Canadians, and they started to get fired up which resulted in quick turnovers on both sides

@@Apocalypseproducts The Canadian was obviously provoking and waiting for an excuse to flop and act as victim.

not to mention the shout of "bring the mother f*ing disc back" at about 00:40:00

It was more like a fight than a game. They were getting to physical!!!!!!!

God, I can't help but comment on how disgraceful the Canadian team conducted themselves. Absolute disgrace to the beautiful game of ultimate.

Ultimate is technically non-contact but in practice there is some contact that is okay in certain situations. For example a some contact happens when a handler tries to go up-line and the dump defender holds his ground. If two people go up for a disc and the defender gets the disc first a little contact is made after then most teams say good D However Ultimate is certainly a non-tackle sport

Holy crap, I didn't even notice that the first time. I count that he travelled about 5 times during the 3 seconds or so he has the disc

33:39 - terrible call. Guy never touched him. Blatant cheating. I don't know who the captain or coach of Canada is, but someone should tell them that tackling and cheating aren't part of the game. Worst spirited team I've ever seen.

One of the worst cases of one-sided bad spirit I have ever seen! I have seen Canadian teams pull that crap before but it was usually equally bad spirit by both teams. This was just embarrassing to ultimate players in general and sadly reflects poorly on Canada.

the play where japan kicks it up to 7-6. holy shit. I screamed

Damn those Canadians team who uses body slam to fetch the frisbee.

Embarrassed to be a Canadian ulty player after watching some of the actions taken by our players here. Japan showing great spirit and true enjoyment of the game over anything else, and Canada just making a mockery of a spirit-based game. Poor showing for sure.

At WUGC 2012, USA was 4th in spirit. Canada was 16th.

Wajeeha Batool Yes, what is the sportsmanship

First of all, yes he travelled (once), sure. Second: That's an incredibly tiny, tiny thing to point out in the context of this game. Massive fouls, incredibly bad spirit and LOTS of travels by Canada that are way worse than this (look at the throw to Seraglia at 27:42).

Wow 28:54 took out his own teammate in that huge attempt at the disc. good thing theyre both ok

Oh sorry. You're right. It's OK to bid into someone's back.

im Canadian and i was rooting for Japan.. goddamn it Canada get it together

13:40 wow, fantastic play

wow looks like Canada isn't as friendly as everyone thought.. look like a bunch of pissed of kids..

Had to stop watching this game #blamecanada

"rip it out of his **** hands" - (Canadian Sideline) 45:00 - 46:00 wow, really? Whats funny is that even though the canadian player traveled, (like the annoucer said), he continued to pass it when there than was an interception by japan = japan possesion, maybe you shouldn't have thrown it like a fool. I garuntee if the canadian player caught it and there wasn't a turn of possession you would've said nothing of your obvious travel foul. Worst sportsmanship I've ever seen....

look at 1:12:40 , Canada rejected a handshake.

Such a disgrace. All these great physical skills are worth nothing if you don't behave as a responsible respectful human being. I feel for the Team Japan.

1:06:04 terrible spirit. good for japan that won the game and what a shame canada playing in that way...

Canada seriously no spirit of the game.

Dear Team Canada. You made a mockery of our sport and disgraced yourselves. You lost more than the game - you lost the respect of the world. This is especially sad because your country is is one of the most spirited and positive Ultimate communities in the world! Hopefully this will be cause for reflection and improvement... Japan's calm and good spirit despite your disrespectful behavior towards you was AMAZING.

I believe it is a pick call before the throw by a Canadian player on the front of the end zone line.

What a douche Seraglia is. Nice job spiking the disc at the defender after you score and then needing teammates to pull you away from yelling at him. There's no excuse for that and the "apology" from their team was lamer than their play. Disgraceful play by the team and worse that it was done by their captains. It'll be a long time before I cheer for FG again. This coming from a Vancouverite.

What an ugly game! The Japanese were marking waay too close but Canada's fouls are just horrible to watch.

Let’s teach kids how to not play like this 😅

It came in on stalling 6 after the foul. 6 + 3.4 = 9.4 = a reasonable stall count

I'm surprised the announcer hasn't said something about how terribly his "native" team is performing not only in play, but also in sportsmanship. I really hope at the end of this video Canada loses, they do not deserve to win with that attitude.

I love that #9 the guy who is tackling people goes in to try and arbitrate(sarcasm)

Weak showing Canada:(

I watched the play at 32:45 five times and I could not figure out what the call was. All the tackling could have been avoided in this point if Canada hadn't made a BS call here.

I watched until 8 - 8 and had to stop... Canada playing like a bunch of douchebags. Tackling, undercutting players, phantom fouls, taunting- You'd think they were playing basketball down the street...

sweet catch at 11:53 in the other field.

From canadianultimate's "TC Open - Profile" coverage of WUGC.

I hope you're just talking about the team and not the sport. This is a perfect example of why I enjoy Mixed teams and tournaments so so much. The true camaraderie, friendliness, and most of all Spirit of the Game is leagues above Open competition. Also the lack of spiked discs is awesome.

It is games like this that show why North American Ultimate needs observors ... on that note, the necessity for observers is what is killing our sport. A game like this should be reviewed by WFDF and sanctions should be handed out. For a game like this Canada should be fined as an ultimate nation

10:15 great defense by Canada..... The Japanese guy just let it go through.......

wtf Canada... 48:00

Technically, you're correct! The Japanese player should have called injury and even if he could play again, take a minute to make sure he was ok. HOWEVER, the manner in which #9 conducted himself AND the horrendous "bid" he made before hand are morally wrong. No apology, no hint of respect, just a "Stop being a pussy and get up or get off the field" kind of attitude! The Japanese player's un-spirited behaviour is utterly blown away by the disgrace of a Furious player!

Does the Canadian team frequently play thugdisk like this?

Holy crap worst sportsmanship in the history of ultimate. Team Canada should be ashamed of this. Worst of them all is #9, who intentionally bids into a Japanese player after the catch has been made and makes fun of his injury...

Though kinda overshadowed by the amount of traveling that preceded the throw. I mean... hot damn.

thanks for clarifying. i'm sure it was a hard shift.

Canada deserved to lose this game, no sportsmanship whatsoever and making BS calls all over the palce

Agreed. i definitely wasn't trying to justify team canada's actions or anything like that. especially not the tackle.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about your team? "We are doing this for the pride of Canadian ultimate."

thats pretty sad canada, big ups for japan!

Holy shit 46:00 to 48:00 are number 1, 2, and 3 on the list of worst, most shitty bids I've ever seen. What the bloody fuck was 48:00's excuse?

48:00 in... if you lose Canada, with all those cheap shots, I'm going to laugh at you so hard!

do you play ultimate?

Where is the spirit？

Is Steve-O commentating this?

WTF happened at 1:04:00? Did he seriously call stall after 3.4 seconds? And then deny that he was fast counting?

to be fair it was probably more like 6/7 because of the continuation after the contested foul call, but even so, definitely fast

Gotta say, I am a little disappointed to be represented by such bad sportsmanship. However, I am pretty sure Toronto Rush will represent Canada well in the AUDL. A lot of the guys on toronto rush are from my university and theyre great guys.

Ah, I forgot that there isn't a continuation rule in WFDF rules.

what a game!.. i have always admired japan, that guys are really quiet.. instead.. canada.. i can't believe this kind of behavior.. such a shame

actually at 27:40, but, at the previous moment called a foul on a bid (correctly).

What's with the floating scorecard?

That foul on the Japanese callahan was the biggest load of crap I have ever seen.

I'm kind of embarrassed to be a Canadian after this game. Poor spirit on our part. I hope I never end up playing a game with that poor of sportsmanship.

well... let's just look at the rule book, then! from the USAU website--"Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play." if you want different rules, find a different sport. because this is written out incredibly clearly

Plenty of room in Australia... But you will have to put up with Julia or Tony!!!

I completely agree.

lets go toronto rush woo woo rush are awesome

the faq? canada is like playing rugby , tackling and crap

At 59:45 a Canadian player just decides to run up and vault off a Japanese players back because a different Japanese player was going to get the disc 10 feet away… pathetic.

Yo the japanese team is mad good

pretty much every canada pull is offsides. maybe they just don't know the rules
