I actually met one of these guys today. He was a UK basket ball player and trained for 2 years to plau volley ball for the olympics... really inspiring man.
M Gat 17 for GB is my cousin. This is a real bunch of lads. He got married in Feb and a lot of the team were there... now I stand at only 5’2 so it Was like being in the land of the giants!
I like how GB goes crazy for every point they get when most of the time it isn't a big deal. Also for most of the game they played like they'd never played together before
In volleyball, just one point is massive, it's a step closer to winning or closing a point gap and it can be a big motivational boost for your team. Every point is worth it, even if it does seem meaningless in the long run.

@@sufiankhan1 But beside the setter, libero is the most important. Without a libero you wouldn't have a stable defence, which would result in the setter not having a ball to set meaning no points. It all leads back to a recieve.
@@sufiankhan1 without the libero the defence will be very weak as middle blockers are not well trained in defence. They also help in picking up rebounds and provide the spikers the proper movement time.
@@mmmtastyalidzie2435 I mean this volleyball team was a random selection of people who wanted to be in this team like there was basket ball players in it as well, I’m sad we don’t do volleyball anymore because I’m in a team and now I know I’ll never be at national level, but even tho the men only have a couple years of volleyball experience their jump serves are very powerful
If I were one of these British players, I would wear a brown paper bag over my head for the rest of my life (albeit with two holes for my eyes so I can see).

Who gives a flying fk
Guess what? England qualified for CEV Champion's league!
@@sufiankhan1 oh another one..
Is it peter bakare
Didn’t even know Britain had a team since in most school volleyball isn’t even seen as a sport but a game in Britain
Ikr. I wish our school's would do it more
TheGaming Monster I know right in England it’s always football
Volleyball fun as well so it’s like bruh why doesn’t Britain not really do it much in school and stuff
Us brits are lazy
Aaron Gamer lol
I didn't even know that GB has team in volleyball xDD big surprise ;D
It was only because we hosted the Olympics so qualify automatically. Otherwise GB wouldn't be there.
We’re 138th in fivb rankings, it’s sad :(
Italian were playing with 2 liberos - Giovi stayed in reception, Bari was on court when they served. And Fei can play as an opposite.
Funny how I watch this exactly 8 years after it's upload.
I see you probably came from haikyuu as well
@@hollixgameplays9910 yes.
@@BTNironOfficial same
So you're telling me there is someone on the UK volleyball team named "French"?
I like how GB goes crazy for every point they get when most of the time it isn't a big deal. Also for most of the game they played like they'd never played together before
SirEpicCheese that’s because GB don’t actually have a volley ball team...

at 9:26 didn't the guy from great britain completely go into the net?? why did no one stop the rally to give italy the point?
Years ago you could touch the net except the white tape on the top of it.
@@eiriksleire8583 how many years ago was this?
@@katerinakanellopoulou263 think like 6 years or something.

From watching Japanese volley ball, to this. A big step down lol
and then japanese volleyball is a step down from Brazilian volleyball
@@zakmaghur6784 and now, Brazilian volleyball is a step down from french volleyball
@@kodyivan4836 no Brazilian is the best in the world
@@James-bm2jy 2021 olympics and 2022 vnl suggest different
I...i got here from Haikyuu...I've never watched actual volleyball before...
Same
Dude I got to Haikyuu from here. I’ve only watched real volleyball
Same
Satanists same
omg same innit best anime lol
I swear Bakare is carrying the team
Naa
libero is the best position. i play for the gb junior team
Let's be honest, the libero is the most boring and underwhelming position in the entire game. If you disappeared, the game wouldn't be any less fun...

starts @ 8:45
Italy should have brought another right side instead of another libero.
I'm guessing most people came from haikyu
Yep
Yeah
Of course!!!
In comparison to the female team, they actually aren’t too bad
Rude...
Rachel Hutt its true.. have you seen the GB women’s volleyball team? coming from a GB woman lol
@@mmmtastyalidzie2435 my maiden name is Bragg...so yeah I’ve seen them...!!!

yes, you're right
don't know who to root for!
For a team that’s not really a team. Not bad.
Who’s also here because of haikyuu
Me lol
Meeee!
Me
Me lol
Meeee!!!!! :))))
Please remember that the British team had to qualify to get into the Olympics. Maybe it was easy for them, but still, not the best team.
Fernando Gomez they didnt have to. This was because they were the hosts
Are there anymore British or English volleyball teams in the UK?
What is the team GB ranking in FIVB? lol
Not offfical national team.They just made for olyimpic games.
Anyone here because of haikyu
Cool...nice for you ;D
GB should play ludo....
I found it at the local chemist. LOL
Who’s here cause of haikyuu
Does anyone know what happened to their team? XD
I 🥰🥰🇬🇧 But I like Italian Number 9 He is Handsome 😅🤣
It's embarrassing, They should sacrifice it and let other national teams compete instead.
Kade u vôlei di praia dois mil i dizoito
No kneepads?
They're hard m8
yes
In mens volleyball knee pads are not worn as much as in women's volleyball. Idk the reason why but most ppl dont wear knee pads
For GB volleyball is too demanding: too many skills, quick thinking. Let's keep it simple- cricket, football, darts.
exile where are you from?
@@XDXDXDXDHAHAHAHAHHAXDXDXDXDXD Why do you need that information? and why should I tell you?
exile rugby, cycling, rowing, sailing even swimming but why darts?
@@miniflynch9399 brits don't play darts?
exile they do but it’s not really a sport we play often. We don’t put money to practice or have better equipment.
This is probably the most underwhelming game I've ever seen in my life. So boring. Better off watching Japan play against anyone
UK arent the best ya see
Yeah team GB are not good at volleyball compared to the other countries, they only qualified because they were hosting the Olympics
I get that the Japan team is good but I kit just saying this cause of haikyu
Volleyball isn't really promoted in the uk much which is a shame cus I like playing it
god british volleyball is such a joke
If I were one of these British players, I would wear a brown paper bag over my head for the rest of my life (albeit with two holes for my eyes so I can see).
Would you rather your kid have feminism or cancer? Wow edgyyyyy
Gonna assume this guys never played volleyball before so he doesn't have a clue what he's on about
9:21 -- That must be the gayest, limp-wristed spike by a male on record! Even women volleyball olympians spike the ball "straighter" than that!
It was a terrible set though...
he needs to push the ball delicately to make a point, you moron!!
Because he knew he couldn't break past him so he tried to make it go over him come on man that's simple
