Jun 24, 2024 05:11 AMJapanese-American libero Erik Shoji is still hung over from the warm Filipino reception that Team USA experienced in their first visit to the Philippines for the Volleyball Nations League men’s tournament Manila leg.
On Sunday night, June 23, the Americans suffered a sweeping loss at the hands of the Japanese side, 20-25, 23-25, 19-25, to finish with a lowly 5-7 slate in 12th place of the standings. With Japanese superstar trio Yuki Ishikawa, Ran Takahashi and Yuji Nishida all becoming crowd darlings as soon as their team landed on local shores in 2022, team USA’s addition to the mix has been a welcome surprise after being equally cheered on by the Filipino fans –– splitting the crowd for the first time in three years.We were wondering what it was gonna feel like today and at the start of the match, it was like fifty-fifty, so that felt really good.
