🇨🇦 Canada vs. 🇫🇷 France | 2022 Men's International Friendly 

just about to comment on it...very excited to see him

His hitting is world class but the blocking is almost invisible here

@@basedthoven yea the blocking needs to close more....im sure he can work on it

@@basedthoven I think invisible is a bit of a harsh statement if you pay attention to the pace of Frances game its incredibly difficult for any middle to seal the block completely, yet he is still doing an incredible job at it. Blocking in middle is already difficult enough trying to read their entire offence at once.

@@basedthoven he was keeping up with most and getting good touches. He just needs more adjustment in the air as he opens his arms too much and the ball sometimes goes through the middle of them, but apart from that he has been doing pretty good moving fast to the pins. For first time middle playing against national teams and especially against a fast offence like France he is doing really good.

fax bruh i miss watching gyimah

So true, I wanted him to continue so bad

what happened to Gyimah?

@@yayicorrosivocapirot he retired from volleyball and became a rapper

Ohh yeah... A R-AP-P-E-R

Yeah maars and hoags serves been insane lately

Absolute banger kill............

i was thinking the same..

Howe being himself when the set is perfect.

ive played middle my whole life and ive never ran that much once on a serve receive ever.

Gotta check out miguel lopez #18 rightside on cuba during the Norceca games. His serves are unreal. Think you would enjoy that too. Volleyball sources has their games up

hes atrocious at blocking though. too short

The laugh though 😂😂

Very true. Vuvuzelas and other noise makers do not have a place in this sport. Really annoying and makes the game nearly unwatchable. Canadian fans should be ashamed of themselves especially in a practice game.

Actually scratch that, I believe Maar and Hoag will have good games all around so the ones who are gonna have to step up and play big are the younger players like Lui and others.

@@sebastian2456 I think Hofer and Howe will come through.

i don’t think they got a chance at top 8 yet maybe in 2-3 years

@@King-03530 They have a small chance but yes I would agree.

@@sebastian2456 that didn’t age well, 3-0 germany was rough

Szwarc is injured and Vernon is taking the summer off

@@Vballnut2117 Thanks for this.

Pretty sure it was a tie 2-2, only played 4 sets

@@Vballnut2117 Nah it was 3-0 for France

lol you dont

Looks like their offense really sped up before used to be high balls to the pins now they’re almost shoots. I’ve also noticed they’re setting pipe way more and waaaay faster even compared to teams like the states which use the pipe a lot.

Mainly speed and decision making. I believe you can find an interview with Benjo from Everette where he talks about he wants Canada to have the middle/pipe dynamic be the focal point of the entire offense.

I thought the same lol

He is Andrea Giani, Italian OH back in the days.

@@duyly5319 Ik I’m just surprised of the sudden team switch

3:12

I’m going to respectfully disagree - the court surface itself is made from the same materiel as GerFlor, and it’s a state-of-the-art floor that provides proper support and give to the athletes who are jumping on it all the time. Compare this to the venue they’ll be playing games at, where it’s GerFloor on Sport Court, sitting on concrete. I guarantee you the players prefer this game, lines and all.

its an exhibition match... it's literally the same as a practise match that they've just allowed spectators to watch

@@aidangayadeen4186 Friendly match or not it doesn't matter. To play on such a court is a disgrace. You mean to tell me Volleyball Canada cannot find a court without dozens of lines covering up every inch?

@@PQV-8898 the court is fine get over it

@@aidangayadeen4186 Nah it's not! Clearly you've never played. Next.
