Final match of the World Cup. U.S. vs. Argentina:



  • The U.S. Men's Volleyball Team win the World Cup for the first time in 30 years.

  • By winning, they get their ticket to the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

  • Matthew Anderson becomes the 2nd U.S. man to win the World Cup MVP award. The other winner, Karch Kiraly, is the current coach for the U.S. Women's National Team.

  • The U.S. men only lost 1 match the entire competition; it was to Poland.

  • Poland lost to Italy in their final match of the World Cup. Their loss means they won't go to Rio unless they win the European Championship.

  • Italy got 2nd place and their ticket to Rio.

The U.S. Libero, Erik Shoji, gets a spike from the back of the court. He gets the point and the kill.
For those of you not volleyball savy, the libero is a strictly back court player.
They only play defense and hardly every get a kill.
