Matsuzaki opens up the blade, catches the US handsighted, and Ireland goes for another hammer. This one arching over the top.

00:20

Speaker A

[Music] The high release flick. What a cheeky shot. [Music] To Gasill for the win.

00:41

Speaker A

Ladies and gentlemen, Nino's a Naz. Everybody else in between and all over the world. Welcome to this, the final final, the final frontier of the mixed division of the World Under 24 Ultimate Championships here in beautiful Logroño, Spain. We are in Estadio Municipal Lasas

01:03

Speaker A

for what promises to be an absolutely titanic tussle between the mixed division champions USA. That's right.

01:11

Speaker A

They've never been defeated whenever they've shown up against their old enemies, the people just north of the border. A Canada. Let's look at the bracket as I'm Laura Murray. I'm joined by Becky Thompson. Tell us how this story has unfolded. Well, we've seen two

01:25

Speaker A

very good teams coming all the way through play. Of course, Canada dropping an earlier pool play game to France earlier in the tournament, which put them on the opposite side of the bracket from the USA. The USA then facing off

01:37

Speaker A

against that French team in the semifinals and having a hard time dealing with them as well. As you see here, France breaking to go up and ending up leading this game 10 to 7. Lurin, the United States having a lot to

01:53

Speaker A

deal with free players in open spaces, and the USA really had to go back to the drawing board to think about it. They told themselves they knew they would get opportunities. They knew they could convert them and ended up going on a

02:05

Speaker A

massive 8 point run to close it out. One of the most impressive performances we've seen all year, all tournament long from a storied franchise. On the opposite side, Canada in a repeat of their semi-final defeat last year took

02:19

Speaker A

on Singapore. A different style than that to which they are more acquainted, but one that they have become more familiar with over the course of the tournament. They learned how to lean on their players. They learned how to keep

02:28

Speaker A

that mental fortitude. It was some big time plays from some big time names as well as a couple of upstart appearances as well from extra elements of their squad stepping up. They were able to run out consummate victors 15-10 and book a

02:43

Speaker A

place in this final. A key player on that entire journey is that woman right there, Alicia Zang, number five. Look for her in the end zone. Do not look for her defender because that will be difficult to find. She is consistently the end

02:55

Speaker A

result of every offensive play. They move down the pitch. She finds the space. She unlocks options for her handlers and makes difficult situations into easy conversions.

03:05

Speaker A

We can have a look here at some of those chase down plays. Whether it's hucks, whether it's cuts to the break side, whether it's whatever you need in that moment, Alicia Zang has an answer. She is the only returning player from the

03:16

Speaker A

under 23 team back two years ago when they faced off in Nottingham. And she is using that experience as well as that composure to make sure that her team always gets the result they need.

03:31

Speaker A

Meanwhile, the USA, the likes of Anton Orm, has been tearing up offenses and defenses here.

03:39

Speaker A

11 assists, nine goals. He does it on both sides of the disc. And looked to him to be very crucial for this USA mix team. The D1 2024 men's offensive player of the year as well. And you can see

03:52

Speaker A

there why, making things look so easy, so clinical, and then doing it on the other side as well with his big defensive efforts. Anton Orm has been unstoppable for this USA side.

04:07

Speaker A

And on a team with so many superstars, Becky, it can be hard to stand out at times. Yes, we picked Anton Orm, but something and Alicia Zang to be honest with you, but something that really shapes both these squads is the way

04:18

Speaker A

they've prepared for this tournament, how they've come together. Yeah, both of these teams with a ton of depth having different preparations for this tournament. The USA team spent a good week out here before having the training camp where actually in that week they

04:32

Speaker A

formed their lines. The US team playing out of a three line system. Different names for those lines as well. Having a lot of fun with it. Lurin sure will touch on that at some point during this broadcast. Canada on the other hand a

04:44

Speaker A

more traditional O line D line type of look here. And these two teams playing each other in a warm-up game as well.

04:51

Speaker A

They played two games. Canada lost the first one 8 to 4 and then beat the USA on the second one 8-3. So these two teams clearly very equally matched. A give and take, a back and forth, a scintillating, salivating

05:07

Speaker A

showdown here at the end of the World Ultimate 24 Championships. Thank you so much for joining us. There's still one game worth of action to go and I've got a sneaking suspicion it's going to be the best one. I really hope so. We have

05:23

Speaker A

seen a couple blowouts here so far today, Lurin. The USA so dominant in these competitions.

05:30

Speaker A

They have obviously been in this final so many times. The Americans didn't make the 2010 final, but they didn't attend the tournament. And ever since 2013, making the final and winning it on every occasion as well. Meanwhile, the

05:44

Speaker A

Canadian team, you see one of their coaches, Jeremy Nordon, there no stranger to mix, but this Canadian team returning to the mixed final here for the first time since 2013. Oh, so only two years ago. A massive 12-year

05:58

Speaker A

12 year loss. So be interesting to see how they can convert a couple bronze medals that they've got as well.

06:05

Speaker A

Meanwhile, we are going to shoot down to our amazing sideline reporter Stepher Pazo who's with some USA fans. USA, I'm here with Declan Miller on the sideline.

06:15

Speaker A

You were part of this mix team last time, freshly crowned champion. What do you expect out of this mix game now? Uh yeah, I'm really excited for uh this match versus Canada. Um, lot of confidence in the mix squad. Um, I had a

06:26

Speaker A

blast playing with them last cycle. Um, and I'm excited for them to go out and get another gold medal. Talk about the delegation here. Big support. Uh, what's it been like carrying all these friends and family around? Yeah, I mean, you can

06:37

Speaker A

hear it now, the USA chants in the background. Um, we have one of the bigger delegations here. A lot of athletes who are like bought in and excited for all three uh, teams to go out and get the job done. Um, so now

06:48

Speaker A

that two have gotten the gold medals, excited to go support the mix team and uh, hopefully they can bring home a third as well. Awesome stuff. Freshly minted champion Declan Miller. Let's throw it back up to the booth.

06:59

Speaker A

Thank you so much, Stefan Rapato, a man of Canadian heritage, but well world traveled and of course bringing you the action and the insights from the sideline all game long. Mentioned the large contingent from the US, but I got

07:13

Speaker A

to tell you, I've been watching the Canadian fans and they did a rousing chorus of I believe it's called O Canada. I stand on guard for the something to that effect. The national anthem. About 50 to 80 of them singing

07:26

Speaker A

it, standing up to lift their team. These two North American sides have brought a massive amount of support from home. We want to extend such gratitude to all the support that is still at home watching and joining us on

07:49

Speaker A

extra content, the extra games, the extra insights from the articles. ultralorld.com bringing you all this action here from Logroño, Spain as we are just about ready to kick things off. It is going to be Canada starting on defense. Anton with

08:06

Speaker A

the disc in hand, ready to pull it down. There you can see the sidelines allayed, the sun spraying the field and the action underway. Here come the US of A on offense catching that surprisingly. I was expecting that to uh be allowed out

08:22

Speaker A

for a break but the confidence clear. Kervik with a quick dump near sideline collected. Mason pops it back.

08:31

Speaker A

Keri

08:38

Speaker A

Yeah, we knew Canada was going to throw different things at this USA team to try to disrupt their rhythm. So an interesting first look here. Doesn't seem to have disrupted much as Bartlett sends to the to the near sideline,

08:49

Speaker A

forgive me, to and Stone and America already outside the end zone. Nothing looking too flustering right now for them, although that stall count getting higher all the time. A quick one, two to reset.

09:04

Speaker A

Right back to the same position and a break across. Fantastic work from Freriedman linking up with Caroline Stone for the goal. 1-0.

09:13

Speaker A

Yeah, like you said, Freiedman finding Stone with that little cheeky inside backhand into the end zone. And as you mentioned there, Lurin, Canada trying to throw out a defensive look to maybe stop the momentum from the USA team, but they

09:26

Speaker A

carved through that zone so effectively. And from our position here, it looked like there was a lot of spaces in the zone and USA was able to really efficiently move through the space before working it in for that nice

09:38

Speaker A

little inside dish for the goal. So, the zone slowing them momentarily, but once they unlock it with a big gaining throw around past the initial few defenders, it's off to the races.

09:53

Speaker A

And that's something that we've seen from this American side. I've got to ask, out of the three lines, any idea which one that was?

09:59

Speaker A

I'm not sure actually. So, we've got Huevos, we've got happy birthday, Fina, happy birthday, Fina, and Porqu. And why? Correct. So, three USA lines that are having a lot of fun out here. They did name those lines during their training camp. Naomi Cena

10:18

Speaker A

obviously a part of one of those lines. They've had several birthdays, they said, during this tournament, but enjoying themselves a lot as well as here to compete on the world stage.

10:27

Speaker A

So, a fun little game for the fans at home. Which line is it? When it comes to the Americans, the Canadians have been open to swapping players over as they've risen to the occasion. We know this, of course, in one example of Alicia Zang,

10:40

Speaker A

who's been incredible for them going from an alternate to making the squad. But another occasion right there, that man with the disc, Koji Suzuki starting off the Dline, moving to the O line, taking a big shot, but nothing happening

10:52

Speaker A

straight away. They seem happy with it. Couldn't find Kahashi on the other end. Yeah, shooting for Kahashi in that space. Obviously a dominant receiver for this Canadian team, but Emily Py had the read on it the whole way. So now the US

11:06

Speaker A

disc in hand with a big shot back themselves looking downfield trying to find the form of Su and he takes it down for the early break 2-0 there wasn't much that Neo de Bru could do in that space there Lurin you could

11:23

Speaker A

see that there was so much separation and De Bru trying to track it down but couldn't get in front of the receiver and the USA making very light work of that offensive Massive possession there.

11:35

Speaker A

Their defense earning the turn back, posing with that massive block and then making it look so simple. And something we've seen from the US all day long is they keep it fundamental. There's another look at the Suzuki shot trying

11:50

Speaker A

to find Kurahashi. Look, that's a pretty good shot. That's an incredible defensive play by Emily Puzzy.

12:00

Speaker A

And then on the other side, just great positioning, jumping backwards as well, following the throw from Samuel Gber.

12:09

Speaker A

Samuel Grosberg graduating from getting gold last year at the under 20 level with the US mix team.

12:17

Speaker A

It was pretty whimpard there just talking about the grab potentially enjoying himself as we said these athletes in a massive world championship final but an incredible grab from him under the pressure from de Bru and it'll be interesting to see now how this

12:35

Speaker A

Canadian O line will respond. So Tory Gray with the pole. This time they go under to Karahi and continuing the flow down. Chigley Neod proving he is the one reaching up and pulling that down on the sideline.

12:54

Speaker A

Graashi cuts up the line. Shiggley available in the back space able to get the swing around. No pressure.

13:01

Speaker A

Zang back to Shigley. Big layout clap catch. Kraashi working very hard under pressure and Tory Gray I think was calling something calling a push off.

13:18

Speaker A

What do you think, Becky? Cuz we can clearly tell what the audience thinks. I did think that Gray actually made quite a lot of contact with Kurhashi on the catch. So, I'm not sure if there was then a second movement after that.

13:32

Speaker A

Can't see it in that shot where it may have come from. So interesting to see though when somebody does dish out contact how much they're willing to take back in return and sometimes these early stages of the game is just when you find

13:43

Speaker A

that level of contact in your match up and you are happy with. So it goes to Kahashi in the end couple of stutter steps from the front of stack but ultimately Shigley is the only one making any moves right now. Now you see

13:54

Speaker A

Neielson cut down but it's a bit too far ahead. She kind of stutter stepped and stopped her cut halfway through. I think it looked to me like there was a miscommunication about whether that disc was for Neielson or Alicia Zang who was

14:08

Speaker A

also cutting laterally out of the stack. And in the end, neither players fully committed to it.

14:16

Speaker A

So now the US with a chance for another break and another commanding lead out of these finals. Zang getting involved but understandably running straight into the action and causing the body contact and the foul.

14:31

Speaker A

So wake on Atkins gets to pick that one back up. Zang hurriedly recovers position. Birds on Atkins.

14:39

Speaker A

Atkins has been a phenom in this tournament so far. Birds on slouch either. Birds on good help defense from the Canadians. Flashing those lanes when the cuts to the same space. And that's going to be a block. Bounced around. A little

14:53

Speaker A

bit of pinball action. Canadians get it back. Shiggley. Suzuki. Shiggley goes down the line. Suzuki feeds.

15:00

Speaker A

Suzuki continues, gets clamped, but still finds some space. And now they're just playing a little bit of twoman game. Some give goes, waiting for the move from Kahashi right at the front. And that's the first score. 2-1.

15:14

Speaker A

Kahashi loves that front cone cut. Lurin, we've seen her do it time and time again. Just the little jump cut, stutter step, able to get herself into that space. took them a second time of asking for their offense on this

15:30

Speaker A

occasion, but it was their defense on the turn that really won them the disc back. Able to take away those undercuts to cause the turnover. And you see there the massive grab from De Bru earlier in the point before the push off. Not sure

15:45

Speaker A

about that one. I didn't see a lot of contact there, but then able to go the other way. That one you saw there was a stutter set from Neil and just stopped her cut.

15:56

Speaker A

then causing some contact on that one. This game heating up already. We've seen several turnovers from this Canadian O line here, Lurin, before they were finally able to get this goal in to keep themselves very much in this game at the

16:10

Speaker A

start of this one. We were speaking to the coaches beforehand, get a replay of this grab here from Miku Kurahashi, and the coaches said they think only about five or six of their players have played in a big stadium final like this in

16:22

Speaker A

front of a big crowd. So maybe just seeing a few of those nerves at the start of this game before they hopefully settle into their rhythm. They won't have long to settle into it. Here comes the American offense.

16:38

Speaker A

Standard 25 as well. Seen a fair amount of that lately. A lot in the women's final. Both directions. Good continuation play.

16:47

Speaker A

Oh, and there's the block. So an absolutely massive block from Davis Toth. This could be a crucial turning point.

17:01

Speaker A

Nishaki gets the reset. Toth the man with the block to back along. Samantha Mach back to Nishazaki really led this between Mach and Nishaki. They've been phenomenal for the Dline offense of Canada. along to Malan.

17:20

Speaker A

Malan goes back to Nishazaki flanked by top staring down a largely inactive field in front of him moving to the continuation. Daly bit of contact looked like a pick called upfield and that Canadian stack did start to get

17:38

Speaker A

quite condensed on that point as the possession has gone on. So could understand why there might have been some congestion there.

17:47

Speaker A

So Daly fantastic defensive pressure. Not the best of cuts by Toth initially and now the offhand backhand leading pass. It comes out fluttery but it lands in secure and that's all that ever really matters. Malan right outside the

18:00

Speaker A

end zone. Canada knocking. They want to get in and get that break back. Mark swings.

18:07

Speaker A

Caught. Malane. Mark goes up the line. Isaki comes back now. It's Malan. They're running a bit of an isolation.

18:15

Speaker A

Lucier comes out of the stack but I think a congestion charge. Lucier this way that way. Cannot get free and a hand block on the hammer.

18:28

Speaker A

Massive pressure. Declan Kervik gets the stop and the US launching looking all the other way down the pitch. They want Aaron Bartlett. They'll get him. There's going to be a call and a violation.

18:44

Speaker A

There was a pick called in the stack and Lurin, from my perspective, I'm not sure it affected the outcome of the play. I don't think that the two players involved in it were impacted at all by the pick. So, I think this disc should

18:57

Speaker A

stay where it is, but it'll be interesting to see what the players have to say about it.

19:02

Speaker A

If you hear a pick, you have to keep playing. doesn't it doesn't affect the play.

19:11

Speaker A

Sorry, I'm breathing so hard. It is. It's Are you guys in agreeance of it saying here? Hey, Caroline, whenever you're ready, I'm getting off the field. And that's Kate Dare, one of our gas. Oliver Brown, the other one for

19:33

Speaker A

this mixed final. You see the call for Kervik to be the one to receive the disc, but in the end they'll go with whoever's open, Isaiah Mason.

19:41

Speaker A

Now it finds Kervik and he gets it right back to Mason. So almost 2-2 instead 3-1. Not quite a book ends there for Kerik, but nearly getting the assist on that one after the huge hand block on the other end at that end

19:58

Speaker A

zone hold from the USA. They were so good on those front corner cone cuts, the ones that we know Canada wants to hit. And really Canada ran out of patience, ran out of options and then opted to go for that hammer. And Kervik

20:14

Speaker A

read it so well. Yet another look at the big block from Toth on that one coming through for the layout. Incredible stuff. But Canada just running out of patience genuinely. Kervik, huge arms.

20:26

Speaker A

He was ready for that one. And then they walk it back the other way and into the end zone.

20:32

Speaker A

You can tell they've really done their homework knowing what that Canadian handers like to do. Shazaki has been incredible all week long. And I almost you almost never see hand blocks on hammers.

20:50

Speaker A

Marshalling the troops going on. Lauren Bole and the US coaching corps has been together for a couple of cycles now.

21:00

Speaker A

They were supposed to they were together in 2023 when they picked up gold. They were supposed to be together for 2021 but of course that tournament was cancelled. Lauren Borl Patrick Sherlock also together in 2019 both as assistant

21:10

Speaker A

coaches at the time when they picked up gold. So really a lot long legacy of championship caliber coaching to back up these teams. And once again it's going to be a deep shot. Once again, it's into a contested area. And that's a fantastic

21:24

Speaker A

interception. Climbing a ladder and ripping that down. Kyle Schulow making a name for himself already. He's got a goal. He's got a block. And imagine the Canadians want to go back on that. Lots of space. Big throw directly

21:37

Speaker A

into it. Fantastic use of distance and awareness. And it's finished off in the end zone.

21:46

Speaker A

The goal ending up in the hands of Louis Duville. The most impressive thing to me on that point, Lurin, was Kyle Schulo went from getting that block to streaking up the pitch at lightning speed away from his defender. Had nobody near him when that

22:02

Speaker A

huff went up. And right now, it looks to me like Canada are maybe trying to beat the USA a little bit at their own game here. You see this one from Shu. He just got in front of Drew, able to make that

22:15

Speaker A

grab and box out before they go all the way back the other direction. And at that moment here, Canada were just trailing the entire time. And they trail now 41 heading into the first heat break. And we will take a quick break

22:29

Speaker A

and be right back. [Music] Oh, [Music] heat heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat.

Speaker A

Welcome back everybody. As you can see, the Canadian crowd roaring and they'll need all the support they can get.

24:53

Speaker A

They're 4-1 down. Becky, what would you like to see the Canadian offense trying to change up to fight their way back into this game? Well, I think there's a couple things, Lurin, and as our sideline reporter, Steph has let us know

25:05

Speaker A

as well. Alexander Nichols was in that heat timeout really trying to pump up the team, get them some energy. I think energy is crucial, especially on defense, but that offense you were mentioning, they need to get some of

25:15

Speaker A

their other players involved a little bit more. the likes of Neielson has been so dominant for this team, able to really marshall the offense, that central handler role, and we haven't seen much of her so far in this game.

25:28

Speaker A

So, I think getting Neielen involved a little bit more, using Shiggley in that space as well could be really beneficial to this offense.

25:36

Speaker A

The pull from Tory Gray. You'll see Shiggley has stepped down and there just like you were mentioning Becky. Shiggley and Neielson sitting at the base trying to get a bit more flow going.

25:52

Speaker A

Smooth into the center. Jang down to Jang. Emily to Alicia Kurahashi. Shiggley cross to Neielson. I do feel like if they get Neielson a few more touches, they'd be a little bit more confident.

26:08

Speaker A

And an incredible grab. You want touches that need your gold. You call that woman Alicia.

26:15

Speaker A

Alicia Zang with a monster grab on that sideline of the end zone as well.

26:20

Speaker A

Running out of space, throwing into such a small window and having to make a big reaction play. Canada needed that energy coming out of that heat break. And that is exactly how you do it, Lurin.

26:33

Speaker A

A big big moment from a big big player. Such a leader for this side. And up until that last throw, that actually looked like the Canadian offense we were hoping we'd see. Calm, confident, in control. And every now and again, you

26:50

Speaker A

just need a little bit of something extra. That's what he provides. But the flow up to that point. Yeah, absolutely. The flow up to that point is the crucial thing to focus on here. They got those key players involved. They

27:04

Speaker A

created a lot of separation and we saw them settle into more of a pole play formation that we haven't seen them be comfortable in. We've seen a lot of 25 vertical so far. They got themselves into a horizontal and created an

27:16

Speaker A

isolation play with several players cutting deep before creating an open under option that got everything started.

27:24

Speaker A

So it flows back. Stone quick with the dump and then tearing off deep. Nobody's picked her up.

27:31

Speaker A

There's calls in the back field immediately as soon as the deep deep goes back. The breakthrough goes across.

27:36

Speaker A

Fantastic work by the Americans. Hartland now pops back to Freriedman. Freriedman across to Cunningham.

27:44

Speaker A

Cunningham down the line. Freriedman again and makes another move. Bartlett now just outside the end zone. They've made that awfully quick. Back to Stone once more just to the front in the form of Kerik. Has a hand block to his name

27:59

Speaker A

already. goal as well. Back to Kervik. Kervig and Stone just playing it back and forth now. The swing around to Freriedman.

28:08

Speaker A

Freeman's give go so lethal in these spaces. Throws goes. Knows exactly how to impose her will.

28:18

Speaker A

Swing back and a nice shoulder fake and cut from Kervik. Can't get it back to Freriedman.

28:25

Speaker A

instead a looping pass around. Cunningham shoots for the end zone and brilliant toe tap down. Yes, I've got to agree with you, Micah. I think that was in. Nope. Yes. Yes, that's called in.

28:38

Speaker A

Micah Glass. Yeah, it looked to me like Micah Glass got one foot in bounds as he made that catch and in the end zone I should say as well. Glass coming in with a big play. Canada initially was doing a

28:50

Speaker A

really good job of coming around the mark and flashing in the lanes to stop those swing passes, but on that occasion it was just one swing too many and the big breakthrough able to come through on that play and the US looking very calm.

29:04

Speaker A

Another different defensive look we've seen from this Canadian team and so far it hasn't done what Canada was hoping.

29:11

Speaker A

They were looking for it to cause some confusion, potentially let them get out of their rhythm, disrupt play a little bit. And so far, this USA team has been unflustered. We know the Canadians put in a lot of work to try and study and

29:26

Speaker A

scout this American team, come up with certain matchups to counter them. Yeah, the team were given I see Sam Mock there drinking straight out of the water cooler. It is hot down there on this field today. Thankfully on the grass

29:39

Speaker A

rather than the turf at this finals venue, which helps a little bit, but it's still quite hot. And like you were saying, the Canadians spent time watching each of their matchups. Yesterday, they were told basically to make what they refer to as

29:52

Speaker A

a Pokémon card, looking at the strengths and weaknesses of their matchups. So, a wellstudied team. They know what to expect from this game. It's a matter I think at this point about them settling into themselves, focusing on their game

30:06

Speaker A

and playing in their rhythm. Let's see if they can get that rhythm going as they look to beat the Americans.

30:16

Speaker A

Neielson Shigley clears. Neielson goes far sideline and it's smoothly placed back in. Malan waiting for moves. Karahashi comes under and another straight cut to the open side, but that's not going to be enough to get you free against these American

30:35

Speaker A

defenders. Stall count rising. They have to turn to Jang once more needing a big grab.

30:42

Speaker A

[Applause] The contact between Zang and Katcha Pisc. And Zang's going to have to take an injury.

30:53

Speaker A

But again, that's an example of the dump pass was shot down. Couldn't get it back to Neielson.

30:59

Speaker A

Couldn't get across to Daly. The cuts downfield. I think it was Alexander Nicholls who was making a couple of unders that weren't really bringing any joy either. Americans are shutting down an awful lot of options. Mach steps on

31:13

Speaker A

now. Mach can't lead. Neielson. Happy to go back to Shigley. Cuts around and sits in the dump space. Big swing. Graashi collects.

31:25

Speaker A

Crash back to Shigley. Mock is moving and there's just some pounding as Pisc and her lock shoulders. Mock gets free on the under. Gives it back to Kahashi. Full extension grab. Tries to continue to Shiggly. There are poaches

31:39

Speaker A

into the lane. Just flashing. Good recognition out of the end zone by Malin or Daly, sorry. Dy gets tries to get the pass across. It's going to be a foul called on the athletic dive from Bjodong.

31:52

Speaker A

It'll be really interesting to see this one back. Lurin. It looked like Malan might have got his hands on it, but I'm not sure if he'd stopped rotation and had control.

32:04

Speaker A

It's hard to tell that quickly as we see the big bid. Oh, that actually on that side it looked like Malan had got control.

32:15

Speaker A

Yeah, hard to tell. I'm not sure the contact was enough to warrant a foul, but my only question is whether or not Mal had control of the disc.

32:25

Speaker A

They agree he did not so quickly picked up and thrown away. So somewhat surprising.

32:36

Speaker A

You got to imagine a lot of people hake as one of the brightest young stars in their spangled banner. And Shigley wants to waste no time launching deep looking for that talismanic play of Kurahashi but once again in a lot of trouble

32:50

Speaker A

covered all around. And this time it's Abby Schultz who gets the block and crucially the interception which is something I'm really liking about these American deep defensive plays. Bit of contact.

33:03

Speaker A

I think catcher Pisgun might have come off worse for wear after that one. Yeah, just a miscommunication there between Gber and Piskun. Looked like they just didn't see each other in that space and it's never fun when two

33:17

Speaker A

teammates collide with each other. Their pist gun has been so valuable for this USA team, especially as a receiver in the end zone. So hopefully she's okay.

33:27

Speaker A

That looked like head first into an elbow, but not on purpose, of course, but just that's what happens sometimes when your primary focus is a Frisbee as you're sprinting forward.

33:39

Speaker A

Yes, United States with a chance to take a commanding lead. Crossber dumps back. Quick movement and flowing it around trying to get some passes off. Yodon able to eventually Gber doesn't want to force anything down the near sideline. Neielson big pause and

34:09

Speaker A

somehow that slips through the gaps. Fantastic throw. precise and then a quick shot around for the goal. It's another break. Abby Shields collects. The United States celebrate 6-2. USA getting a little bit lucky on that one. That throw from Hakeime was

34:27

Speaker A

collected by PY in the space. Not sure that was the initial intended target, but for this USA team, it doesn't matter. They are always backing each other up, always willing to make those plays. And as long as they've got

34:41

Speaker A

control and momentum in this game, Lurin, it's hard to see how this Canadian team can start to break them down. We've seen the USA in control before, and we've seen them, of course, in that semi-final down, but able to

34:53

Speaker A

regain that momentum. And once they're cruising, it is so hard to challenge this side.

35:00

Speaker A

As you can see there, even the big layout not able to do enough. Posie just stayed focused, brought it in, and once that throw unlocked the defense, it's just a quick pass pop from the break side becomes an

35:15

Speaker A

open pass and a close game becomes a concerning deficit. Yeah, Canada right now just needing I think to find a way to settle themselves. We've said this before, but I think it's also a case of looking to create some more isolation plays.

35:31

Speaker A

They're having a few times where they're cutting to the same spaces, especially around the end zone. And the USA is taking full advantage of that and putting them under pressure. The coaches said they wanted to cause chaos and

35:42

Speaker A

confusion in this game for the USA and so far they're really doing that to Canada.

35:48

Speaker A

[Applause] We'll see how they can respond. Couple of different switches on the offensive side. We see Suzuki return.

35:59

Speaker A

Antoine Dubet stepping over a defensive stalwart for them and the US coming out with a zone look neck Suzuki. So doing a good job just swinging right now and taking the yards as they're available to them. And this

36:17

Speaker A

is the element of Suzuki's game I'm such a big fan of. Already turned over on a couple of hucks.

36:24

Speaker A

He is lethal in that short space as well. Dubet comes back as he goes down the line, finds Mark. Somehow, somehow that gets away from Po. Now it's cross to Dubet.

36:36

Speaker A

Dub back to Dru. De Bru cross the Martell and then they try to go through the gap, but that was one time too many. And they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

36:51

Speaker A

Canada just rushing it there. They were looking so calm walking up the field and just didn't recognize that Po was still stood in that space. And here's a huge shot downfield once more wanting to test the defensive prowess of Neil de Bru.

37:05

Speaker A

But this time he's equal to the challenge. [Applause] Brown just have to watch it over his head. Mark's already picked it up wanting to get things going now. Cross to Suzuki.

37:17

Speaker A

Martell in front. Mach behind. Now flow across. Forier 48 to Martell. Back to Suzuki again on this far sideline. The Bru Mach with the rounding cut up the line to try and create a little bit of space away

37:41

Speaker A

from Erica Birdong on the mark. Now Suzuki goes back. You got to talk about what a nuisance Michael Po is being. And then he gets the steel.

37:50

Speaker A

just always in that space dissuading all kinds of throws and it's a hop skip and a jump into the end zone. Going to be a bit of debate about it, but I got to tell you to me Atkins

38:06

Speaker A

looking to finish this one off. Back to Atkins momentarily with Baker. Now they try to return it to him. He does. Slides to his knees. I'm not going to lie, that looked pretty cool.

38:21

Speaker A

as it's heating up on the pitch and it's collected for the goal. Naomi Fina, happy birthday 72.

38:32

Speaker A

And initially there, Lur and I was looking at that USA zone and I was thinking Canada on route to this final have played Japan, they've played China, they've played Singapore, they played countries that love to play a zone.

38:44

Speaker A

They've been well practiced in playing zone offense. And I was thinking maybe this isn't the right choice here from the USA to get those turns and create pressure. But Po proving me wrong on every opportunity. You see the defensive

38:58

Speaker A

pressure there from Deborra. And then Po getting another block and the USA right now. They are in Canada's pocket.

39:07

Speaker A

Yeah, I honestly I feel like I was already in Po. Easy dump passes never more as he is just disrupting everything in that space and causing a little bit of a Huntsville Alabama nightmare DM for that Canadian O

39:26

Speaker A

line [Applause] back out there. You got to imagine the Canadian as coaching staff with a couple of ideas.

39:39

Speaker A

Danny Proby been here before helping return Canada to the podium, but of course they want to climb just a little bit higher. Neielson with the disc. This is a different zone. Look from a different line. Back to Shigley.

39:59

Speaker A

Shiggley and Nielsen the bedrock of this Canadian offense for so much of this tournament. the bruh around Zang.

40:04

Speaker A

Fantastic to see her return to the pitch. Karahashi takes off deep and absolutely takes Emil Putsy to market on the undercut.

40:15

Speaker A

Cross to Neielson and another possession saving grab from Zang. Shigley goes deep. Zang goes dump to Neielson. Shiggley continues. Neielson hits straight in the chest at pace.

40:30

Speaker A

Graashi cuts. Cuts again. gets it in the dump space. Continuation available, but not with enough separation.

40:39

Speaker A

The BR seem to almost cut off the same space as well. I don't like that immediate step start, but then there's the second move. Never doubt Zang. And Neielson goes full extension, but can't bring it in.

40:50

Speaker A

And right now, Loren, this Canadian side is having to make each other work really hard to make these grabs. We've seen Zang on the ground multiple times and then Neielson not able to come through with that one. And Hakeime plucking that

41:03

Speaker A

out of the sky. Quick swing across. Su Flow having himself quite the final and a shot to the end zone. Going to be chased down and caught comfortably. Emil Py books a place at halime with 82 up for the United States. See some of the

41:24

Speaker A

faces of the Canadians there looking almost a little bit perplexed, a little bit down right now. The USA is all over them working. They're applying so much pressure on defense. They've come down in multiple different looks and shown

41:37

Speaker A

that each time they're forcing Canada into uncomfortable situations, forcing them to have make to make more difficult throws as well. And Canada looks a bit lost on this field right now. And that is what this USA program can do to you.

41:51

Speaker A

See Neielson there trying to go full extension but that one just a little bit too far before the USA is able to come the other way looking toy in the end zone.

42:03

Speaker A

So right now commanding lead United States 8 Canada 2. The 2025 club season is upon us and Ultralorld is bringing you all the action. Ultral is the best place for live video news highlights and analysis of your favorite teams and players.

42:38

Speaker A

[Music] Welcome back everybody. We're going to take a quick step down to the sideline to join the American coach and see how they feel about what was a truly stellar first half alongside Stephan Rapazo.

43:22

Speaker A

I'm with coach Lauren Bole of the USA. It's a strong first half. Uh defense has been out there a whole bunch. You guys have three different lines. They play different styles, different identities, getting D's a bunch of ways. Talk to us

43:35

Speaker A

a bit about that. Yeah, Hannah Baronis this morning talked about if they're going to huck it, they're going to huck it to the US. And you s saw that here today where we're really respecting their deep game and then being able to

43:46

Speaker A

try to slow down the front, throw some zone, throw some force middle. How can we slow down that Canada is so excellent in big spaces? Uh you guys clearly do your homework. Mika Kurahashi, stand out player. She's had a little bit of the

43:58

Speaker A

life of what that Canada's been doing. What are you going to continue to do or put on her for the second half to maintain your lead? Yeah, we told the defenders to that she's going to get the disc. an excellent player. So, how can

44:11

Speaker A

we make her change directions more times to be able to put their throwers in a position to make her make hard plays?

44:17

Speaker A

All things looking good for the USA. Thanks, Lauren, for your time. Good luck in the second half.

44:23

Speaker A

[Applause] So, that was Lauren Bole and you got to say they're enjoying their time out there. A quick glance at the stats reveals quite an advantage for the Americans, Becky. Yeah, the USA eight break chances. Five breaks from those

44:39

Speaker A

eight chances. They have capitalized on those nine turnovers from the Canadians. Canada not being efficient on their offense, just the one clean hold. They have been giving the disc back to USA on too many occasions. And the USA are so

44:55

Speaker A

clinical and so determined when they get possession of the Frisbee. It's been a real challenge for the Canadians so far as we just have a quick look at that dominating performance by the United States throughout the first half.

45:12

Speaker A

Lauren Bole was talking to us about how they knew if they were going to hug it, they would be hugging it to us. That's exactly what's been happening. Fuel flow in that instance. Big plays early on, a chance to make it 2-2 from that, but it

45:24

Speaker A

just wound up being 3-1. And since then the lead has continued to extend and extend and it's been throughout the ranks of the Americans. You can see there excellent D from top but one of the few bright sparks so far. Again

45:38

Speaker A

another example of a Canadian hawk and an American reception. Brilliant grab and then on the opposite side you were talking about this Becky after getting that block tearing off down the far sideline. Nobody near him.

45:50

Speaker A

No responded in time and able to take the break on for the goal. That's the versatility. That's the lethality that the Americans have expressed throughout all of this game. And it's it's got to be frustrating if you're Canadian and

46:02

Speaker A

it's got to be delightful if you're American. We're going to go and find out firsthand as we go back down to Stefan Rapazo who is with Danny Proby here with Danny Proby. Danny, Americans have been very good in the first half.

46:15

Speaker A

Uh talk about what you your team needs for energy going into a second half with a bit of a deficit. Yeah, we've actually been before and have come back which has been really exciting, but right now we're like so close. We're playing such

46:27

Speaker A

nice offense and it's just a bit of an execution right at the end. Definitely nerves getting to us. Only about five people have played in a game like this before. So, you're kind of seeing that on display like who has that composure

46:37

Speaker A

who can rise to these moments and we're going to settle and we'll give it a better game in the second half. Speaking of settling, uh you'd love to get a spark, get the crowd uh back into this.

46:46

Speaker A

You got a crowd that will definitely come your way. some of those players you may look to for the spark. Yeah, I mean Alicia Zang makes like highlight reel plays. Huge bits. You saw one earlier.

46:57

Speaker A

Uh Davis Todd already had that layout block on the first or the second D point. So we're having options. We're having opportunities and those players are there. They're ready. They just want to be on the field more. We got to get

47:06

Speaker A

Dline on the field more. All right. Good luck. Good luck getting that Dline on the field. Good luck in the second half.

47:14

Speaker A

And Daddy Pro, I agree. trying to get that D line on the field right now.

47:18

Speaker A

There's only been 13 completed passes for the Canadian Dline in that first half. Becky, yeah, it's interesting here, Lurin. I do think that perhaps the line systems for the USA are also coming into play here. They're getting fresh

47:31

Speaker A

legs out on the pitch time and time again rotating through that three line system. And Canada, meanwhile, have been stuck with this O line on the pitch back to backto back points and it doesn't look like they've really changed much

47:44

Speaker A

up. So, they talk about getting their Dline on the field. I think perhaps at this point they don't necessarily need to get that D line on the field to play defense, but I'd like them to see them come out playing offense rather than

47:55

Speaker A

running out the same O line who's been broken three times in a row at the end of that second half as well. Obviously, they've had the break from halftime, but I think they could be looking to change something up potentially. We did see M

48:08

Speaker A

come on at one point when Zang got injured. So you think maybe bring Mark on from the start of the point, get some of that slightly more quick fire action going as you look at RG Ali Brown.

48:19

Speaker A

Something else Danny touched on there is the lack of experience at this highest level for the Canadians. I mean if you're looking at the ones who really played in stadiums, you got Koji Suzuki, Mik Farahashi, Neo Dra with Red Flag,

48:30

Speaker A

they would have played at the finals of the World Ultimate Club Championships. Although anybody who watched that final, you can through Ulti World probably imagine uh this probably feels quite familiar for them and apart from that Shiggly as well who's got a lot of

48:43

Speaker A

experience in America. Yeah, absolutely. The side lacking a little bit of experience in these big situations, but no stranger to playing against really talented teams. So, we'll see if they can settle into their style of offense.

48:55

Speaker A

Well, let's find out right now. Shiggly collects Nielsen makes the move. I'm not even on the pitch and I'm scared of Michael Poe. That is such a dangerous presence at all times. Two blocks already and there's an overthrow from

49:09

Speaker A

Neielen and you can really start to feel the nerves coming through in some of those passes.

49:19

Speaker A

The US starting the second half with another break opportunity. Cutins gets the dump off. Wants to get it back from Atkins. sends it right back to him and there's the move from Po not getting free. Good help defense in the stack but Cutchins just

49:41

Speaker A

takes her time, finds the spot and shoots it across to Naomi Fina. That's another present.

49:48

Speaker A

That point was all about Cutchins from the USA here. Lurin came down with so much intensity off the pole and just played intense shut down defense there and they were unable to get anything going. The Canadians looking for Mari

50:04

Speaker A

Nielsen on the centering pass, Cutchins was all over her in her pocket the entire time. And then even when Neielson was eventually able to get free, it was the force from Cutchins that caused that big throw out of the sideline before

50:17

Speaker A

eventually able to assist for the goal. and the USA doing what they did the entire first half just taking apart this Canadian O line. I would agree with you that is definitely a book end for Kutchins.

50:32

Speaker A

You can see the Canadian fans in the stand trying to raise their spirits, but right now it's brilliant play like Calipe Cutchins, like Caroline Stone of course as well like Michael Poe that's just it's just draining them that

50:48

Speaker A

along with the Sun. And it's interesting to see here now we are finally going to see the Dline from Canada out on the field to play offense. We haven't seen these players in a while. So it'll be interesting to see how they do.

51:04

Speaker A

The disc coming down. This is it was a four-point run to take half from 42 to 52 or 4 42 to 82 and the US kept that going. Now 92. Dubet rips one. He's looking all the way downfield and it just might be perfect.

51:22

Speaker A

Fantastically chased down and collected into the arms of Alexander Nicholls. And it's Nicholls who was trying to pump up this team earlier in the game and now able to come out hasn't played in several points with the offense having

51:35

Speaker A

been on the field and came out with so much energy and that's the first time Morgan that we haven't seen Canada hucking to the USA but able to come down with a deep game of their own. That is a

51:47

Speaker A

huge point here for Canada. Fantastic shot. really well set up. Also, I don't think Isaiah Mason was uh properly prepared for Duvet to rock that shot to the end zone.

52:05

Speaker A

Large arc, easy to follow, and a comfortable catch in the end. That's the exact kind of spark the Canadians were looking for. Would have been handier if it happened a point ago. As we look at the head coach, Patrick Sherlock,

52:18

Speaker A

back-to-back national champion with Philadelphia AMP in 2018, 2019, back-to-back Ulti World Coach of the Year in the mixed division, 2017, 2018.

52:27

Speaker A

He also got a silver in 2017. So that's even before, as we were already talking about his experience with the under 24 program and alongside the other coaches.

52:36

Speaker A

So just a litany of success. [Applause] That's phenomenal pole. Here comes Nishazaki to try and put some pressure on immediate travel cult. He's going to have to go back.

52:56

Speaker A

Nishaki still there in that dump space working alongside Jeremy Jiard. You can see they're just hop hopping out trying to limit the options. Get it to Bartlett. And now the pop back. I think Jard's going to call for contact.

53:12

Speaker A

Getting carried away. That disc is going to come back unless it's a block. Goodness gracious me. What a D.

53:21

Speaker A

Noah Nishesi followed that arc all the way into his hand. [Applause] And now is it break time for TC? Well, it'll take a couple more moves like that, but nice resetting. Samantha Mach.

53:47

Speaker A

Hard cutting into tightly contested space. J shoots. It's floating, but it's contestable. Phenomenal grab. Ryan Grace. You got to bring a shovel if you want to go to work in the gravedigger.

54:04

Speaker A

getting that one into his hands. An incredible grab from Ryan Graves there. You could see two or three times before he went for that deep strike. He tried to go deep. He was looking to set that up, maybe backing himself in the matchup

54:17

Speaker A

against Isaiah Mason on that one. And see one of the USA players there looking maybe a little bit fragile after that point. So hopefully okay. But that story of that point there all about Ryan Graves. We'll get a look at this huge

54:33

Speaker A

block. [Music] rising above. Incredible play, Nishazaki. How did he get that? That's another example of getting it on the way down.

54:44

Speaker A

Of course, when you jump that high, that's an awfully long trip back. And then I was thinking Mason, this is floating too much. Mason's going to get it. But Ryan Gray is backing himself.

54:55

Speaker A

There's few people in the world brave enough to do that. Few are still who are right to do so.

55:02

Speaker A

[Applause] All right. Well, that's got to be energizing. We were talking about earlier on the energy trying to raise it. Nicholls was just throwing jellies into people's mouths. Well, throwing spicy puts into the end zone and tearing them down over incredibly impressive

55:17

Speaker A

Americans is another way to raise spirits. The first break of the game for the Canadians as well. So, maybe a momentum builder for them. See if they can tap into it.

55:28

Speaker A

in a Canadian zone. It almost just seems to have that little venom to its bite that was missing earlier on. You can feel the intensity ratcheting up. It's still a few points as Hakeime linking up very well with Crossber. And Crossberg

55:42

Speaker A

seemingly has the antidote as he is just running this offense all the way down involving plenty of people on the way.

55:49

Speaker A

It's not a one-man show. Hour just waiting. The Canadians holding the zone for now and they've melted.

56:02

Speaker A

Hakeime, as you can see, the defense starting to arrive. Hakeime takes right back off again. She's got experience playing at this level. And with this team, wants to add to her collection. Anton Or happy to be a part of it, too. 104. And the USA

56:19

Speaker A

responding really well after that break from Canada. Able to come out with a really clean, efficient hold. That's what you want your offenses to be able to do. We've talked a little bit about the different line systems. Sometimes it

56:32

Speaker A

can be a bit hard in a threeline system when the rhythm has been disrupted from having a break, but for this USA team, they've shown it's absolutely no problem. Hakeime able to find Orm in the end zone. And a nice hold from there.

56:46

Speaker A

You see on the previous point, USA number 92 Magnol going down injured after the Canadian celebrations. So just assessing the mobility with the trainer on the sideline and hopefully we'll see Magnol back in the game as well. Lorin,

57:04

Speaker A

[Music] right now we're hoping to find ourselves watching can Canada fight their way back into this game. 104. They need a hold as we have a quick look at Mishiko Magno.

57:19

Speaker A

We send her all the best in the Canadian offense. That energy from their Dline, do you think it helps settle their nerves, helps them feel a bit more confident?

57:36

Speaker A

It'll be interesting to see. This is the first time we now see their O line coming back out after a little while.

57:41

Speaker A

But looks like it could be a bit of a power line here as well. Maybe crossing a few players over who've been doing really well so far here for this Canadian team today. Yeah, bearing in mind of course that it was the Dline who

57:52

Speaker A

scored that O point. So Kurahashi and the Canadian O line or at least this power line. That's Nishazaki out there helping as well. And Mach do have a direct line to the Canadian coaching staff. Mickey there seem to be

58:08

Speaker A

taking some advice. Y it's going to be a call. Actually looks perhaps like Po may have hurt himself slightly. Yep, he's calling an injury. I hope he's okay.

58:22

Speaker A

Such an impactful player going for the big bid and just coming up a little bit uncomfortable. Cullen Baker coming on to replace him.

58:31

Speaker A

Canada happy to keep things as they are. the pop down the line to that massive layout block earlier and just putting it a bit too far outside of the catchable area for Zang. That is a difficult thing to do. Oh, there's an accepted foul

58:52

Speaker A

instead. So, it's going to go back. That seems to be a foul by Zeppelin Ronig on to have another quick scance at it.

59:03

Speaker A

Imagine [Music] they could have told Zang that before she made another layout. She can't stop people from doing what they love or what they're best at.

59:14

Speaker A

Nishaki swings around top. Kurahashi Sang cuts out of the cut a little early, comes back into it, but under pressure all the time. You can't hesitate against these Americans. That's the second time they've been punished for doing so.

59:32

Speaker A

Elise Freiedman locking up Zang. Now the swing back around to Baker off to the opposite sideline. Cunningham thinks about the deep shot. Steps back and into it. Looking all the way downfield and it's the always nutritious Atkins diet for the goal. 114 and a break to

59:50

Speaker A

the USA. Once again, Lurin, this USA team just so quick on that transition after the turnover there. Incredible throw from Tory Gray for the Hawk. Gray unleashing that flick. Like you said, could see the step back before putting it up into

60:09

Speaker A

space. And the USA again maybe having a tiny bit of pressure from Canada there out of the half, but withstanding it.

60:17

Speaker A

Freiedman with a massive block was reading that one all the way through and Gray unleashing a massive flick hook for the goal. You're not going to beat these American defenders with a stutter step.

60:28

Speaker A

You're only going to feed them with sprints and that takes five to six steps takes a lot of effort. And in this kind of weather after a full day of preparation, that's a lot of time to be sitting out in this heat having it

60:40

Speaker A

slowly drain out of you. It's always going to be tough. Elise Freedman, incredible block.

60:49

Speaker A

This is Tory Gray. This one, this one, who's been brilliant for them all game long. the uh UC San Diego Dragon Coalitioner.

61:03

Speaker A

Not entirely sure what that demon would be. I just wanted to say the club name if I'm honest. Dragon Coalition.

61:13

Speaker A

So, here come the US once more crashing upon the Canadian shores from sea to shining sea right now.

61:31

Speaker A

And the blade across the offense started by Coster on the near sideline. Dubet he's got some big toes. Coster just wrestling eventually able to juggle that one into his hands and Peterson rips one. Wants to send to Jubet downfield. He's already got a huck

61:50

Speaker A

throw now for a huck reception. Great boxing against Orme, but spiking the drop. That is a reflection of frustration. Absolutely, Lurin. You said it there. That's frustration boiling over here for the Canadians. Read that disc so well and should have come down

62:06

Speaker A

with it. And the US of A going right back at Canada. Big shot. Bartlett looking downfield.

62:17

Speaker A

Wants Caroline Stone. Gets her. Quick move and the jump back. Micah Glass leads and it's a comfortable collection for Anton Or 12 four. Yep, I would agree. He might go to sleep cuz right now they're putting the Canadians to bed.

62:40

Speaker A

[Applause] The USA having a lot of fun with that celebration there. They've had a lot of opportunities to practice those celebrations as they've been undefeated in this tournament so far and right now showing us why. You see that one able to

62:56

Speaker A

just reel it in cost before Peterson unleashing to Dubet and Dubet arguably really should have done better there.

63:02

Speaker A

You see his frustration after reflection of this game here. Lurin Canada unable to get into their rhythm right now.

63:10

Speaker A

Unable to find their way into this matchup. We head into the second heat break. The Americans eight points to good. 124 up.

63:22

Speaker A

[Music] Heat up here. [Music] The 2025 club season is upon us and Ultralorld is bringing you all the action. Ulti World is the best place for live video, news, highlights, and analysis of your favorite teams and players. Bartlet scores again. Make sure

65:10

Speaker A

Welcome back everybody as we're just going to take a trip down memory lane and see the domination of the American sides of the under 24 competitions ever since they started showing up. You see here the mixed division results from

65:24

Speaker A

2015 onwards and before that of course in 2013 as well. USA wrapping up all the gold medal games. And the only time a USA program has lost since attending this event was that 2015 women's division team that lost in the final to

65:40

Speaker A

Japan. But since then, we have seen sheer dominance. But that being said, Lurin, I'm not sure we've seen the USA programs truly take apart teams in the final the way they have today. The women's team were all over Japan. Japan

65:54

Speaker A

a couple breaks at the end to get back into it, but the USA taking them apart in the women's game. And then the US Open team a show of sheer dominance over the Belgium team as well in that final.

66:05

Speaker A

And here we see this mix team up 12 to4 over Canada right now. And I was discussing this earlier on during the women's final with Hannah Pendlebury.

66:17

Speaker A

When you play the Americans, you don't just play the seven players opposite you. You don't just play the 24 odd players on the squad. You play that weight, that reputation. It's something that Alex Ferguson used to say in

66:32

Speaker A

football, otherwise known as soccer. About half the time people would lose to the reputation. You'd step onto the field and you'd already have lost in your mind. So you'd have no joints chance in the game. And for all the talk

66:43

Speaker A

and all the preparation and the Canadians are prepared as hard as you can. And I mean they took on all star and national champions in Seattle as part of their preparation. There's just nothing like the real thing and American

66:54

Speaker A

are giving them 100% beef right now. Kurahashi down the line Jiggly Neodra Kahashi cuts again from a static start though. So not a huge gain.

67:13

Speaker A

Schultz marks close. Zang. Emily Zang can't get the continuation of Kurhashi. There was help defense in the area anyway, so probably best to holster. Goes around to Shigley. Suzuki makes a move. Shiggley feeds him. Suzuki catches it under pressure and pops it

67:29

Speaker A

into Nielson for the goal. Look, it's a long way to Tori, but it starts with a single step. 125.

67:36

Speaker A

Yeah, like you said there, Canada, they're going to hope to come back into this one, needing to take it one point at a time. That being said, we've seen the USA be so clinical. Suzuki looking a bit worse for wear after that one there

67:49

Speaker A

as well. Lurin and this game has been very much in the control of the Americans. Michael Poe earlier going off injured as well. Steph Pazo on the sideline finding out for us that he is doing all good. So we should see him

68:04

Speaker A

still involved in this one. Suzuki there throwing in to Neielson and Canada really needing to get some kind of momentum going. You can hear the crowd starting to ramp up there, cheering for this Canadian squad as well. So maybe

68:18

Speaker A

needing that little bit of injection of energy, but I won't be surprised to see this USA offense come back on the field and just be so clinical the way we've seen them throughout this match.

68:29

Speaker A

Something I saw in the semi-final in the open division was when the US took on Canada and the Canadian Open team pushed them closer than any other open team did in this tournament. It doesn't mean they were ever really that close to them, but

68:40

Speaker A

the real gap seemed to be a matter of the Canadians would work so hard to get a hold and get a hold and they'd be happy about it. And the US would just cut right through them. Fresh scissors

68:53

Speaker A

through new cloth, hot knives through butter, whatever metaphor you want to use. It always looks smooth. So, we will see what Canada can do to try and introduce a couple of bumps into this American offense.

69:17

Speaker A

25 step as he down to Atkins looking to get it back. Chef Rayquan cooking something up and it's a huge shot all the way downfield perfectly out in front of this of Baker but something went wrong in the

69:39

Speaker A

kitchen and there's a fumble perhaps maybe just too much time for Baker to think about making that catch. The throw was too perfect. Becky posits as there's a big shot downfield. Can looking to go right back at them. It's into the hands

69:54

Speaker A

of Leasur. Support filters through. Leasurer shoots. Looking to the end zone. Wants to find Roberts. Collects. That's a break. 126.

70:06

Speaker A

I said before that point Lin that I'd be surprised to see the USA not holding here. But Canada proving me wrong on this occasion. Going back the other way.

70:18

Speaker A

And I have to say looking quite confident in their offensive choices on that one. not afraid of the moment. It may be loosening up given the situation of this game. Baker will want that one back. However, a very uncharacteristic

70:32

Speaker A

drop from him. You'll see another shot at it here. It was in acres of space in this end zone. Just went with one hand.

70:40

Speaker A

Maybe could have waited to clap catch it with two, I think. And then going back the other way, Lashel shooting in the end zone and under the pressure. That is a lot better from this Canadian defensive unit.

70:53

Speaker A

[Applause] Doesn't matter how you get the breaks. All that matters is you get them. And that's a break. Second of the half, second of the game for Canada.

71:14

Speaker A

The US still up. They've had three breaks in this half. Canada have had two. Of course, US had five breaks in the first half. Canada had zero. So, closing that gap all the time. Nishaki comes down closing the gap at the front.

71:25

Speaker A

There's a deep shot available. There's also an incredibly free Elise Freedman available. They go to Freiedman instead.

71:33

Speaker A

Magnol back on the pitch. Fantastic to see her return. And the throw down the line. Plenty of space, plenty of time for Cuttingham.

71:41

Speaker A

Looks to shoot the front corner and just popping it back and forth. Micah Glass is the one to finish it off, but I feel like that was four passes, if not even like five at most. And that's the clean

71:54

Speaker A

offense I'd expected to see from this American team on the previous point and what we've been seeing from them really throughout this game. They're creating so much separation for each other. And it's not just from how they set up their

72:06

Speaker A

cuts, but it's the other players holding space on the field as well. Staying in their positions, just keeping their defender occupied and making it really hard for the Canadians to create any kind of help situations as well. Ending

72:18

Speaker A

up in that big upline cut there and the USA two points away here. Lurin from a gold medal.

72:27

Speaker A

And that was something when we talked to American coaches beforehand. They said playing mixed makes you better as you have to learn to play the different paces, learn to read the different structures and eventually that balance helps you develop your versatility,

72:43

Speaker A

helps you develop your decision making and learn how to cut to create space for others. Absolutely. And I think that's one thing we've seen from both teams in this final. Both teams deserve credit for playing incredible mix ultimate.

72:55

Speaker A

It's been a great showcase for that. You see the way they create space and separation for each other on the pitch and like you said that ability to turn and react to throwing to a different gender as well. It takes a lot of

73:07

Speaker A

strategy, a lot of ultimate IQ as well and both teams have been doing a good job of showcasing mixed as a division.

73:17

Speaker A

So this American line staying out there might be wrong but I don't see Naomi.

73:23

Speaker A

So, so I assume this isn't happy birthday Naomi Fina. Is it Huevos or is it why answer now Kurahashi to the near sideline technically with her pivot might be out of bounds put it to small distinction. Neil de Bru

73:42

Speaker A

gets back into the center. Zang Emily Zang back to Dra continues the flow. It's going to be a call on that. I was just about to start praising the excellent force by Michael Poe. I think on that force post stepped off a little

73:59

Speaker A

bit into the lane and Magnol I think calling the pick here against Emily Zang. See, it'll be interesting to see how this discussion goes. We'll see if we can listen in.

74:16

Speaker A

When you were ready, you push your arms up. Whether that don't Hey, we're switching two. Okay. Two two.

74:25

Speaker A

So, we got a foul contest. Stall is coming in on two maybe. Okay. St is coming in on two.

74:34

Speaker A

I stand corrected there. A push off being called by Magnar in this situation. So the call will be contested.

74:43

Speaker A

We'll have another look at it. Are we happy? We'll allow you to make up your own minds at home. Much like a game adviser Oliver Brown allowing the players to make up their own minds on the pitch. And we're coming back in 32

74:54

Speaker A

Dubra Jiggly slowly steps. I'm not quite sure what to make of that dump cut. It worked though as now they try to get a bit of a dominator going.

75:05

Speaker A

Shiggley and Dra. Haven't seen too much of Shigley in this game and we saw an awful lot of him throughout the Canadian campaign. Graashi cuts front corner. Two defenders collapse. Zang now moves in.

75:15

Speaker A

Mistiming it slightly with the poach. There's options everywhere but it's not going to make to any of them. Fantastic heads up defensive presence and Isaiah Mason gets the block. Now it's swung around Po. Mason comes under instead goes to Caroline Stone.

75:38

Speaker A

Oh, Mason doesn't want to go under. Wants to take it all. Wants to take it now. Neielson reading that one. Plucking it back down.

75:50

Speaker A

And the Canadians go back 136. Have to work a little bit harder than that. She says Suzuki Shiggly hop skip and up the line and a hammer all the way over nicely waiting for it. Mal Neielson back to

76:10

Speaker A

Suzuki. Suzuki to Neielen just gets that continuation over. Magnol marking Neielen stops any further flow. Kurahashi Nielsen clears out of the space. Suzuki tries the shoulder drop and then tries basically barging his way past but can't get there.

76:29

Speaker A

Shiggley can finds Mal with the inside break to the left side corner 137. That was a much better offensive end zone look here from the Canadians. We saw on the previous possession it was the defense from Franman and Stone in

76:46

Speaker A

that front corner at that cone that really stopped them from being able to get in. We know they like those little small ball spaces in the end zone, forcing them to have to go over the top where Mason was able to make the block.

76:59

Speaker A

You see here, multiple cutters in that space, throwing over Mason coming in and then they were able to get it back after this defensive play here from Neielen.

77:09

Speaker A

They went for a slightly different different look. That cut coming from the back of the end zone instead of those front corner cuts. And I think this is something Canada needs to do. They need to recognize when their plan A isn't

77:21

Speaker A

working and find a plan B option. Right now, I feel like they're moving into plan D, EF territory cuz they are definitely in trouble.

77:36

Speaker A

[Applause] You can see how much work they put in. Stepho on our sideline doing a little digging for us and letting us know Suzuki is really feeling the heat. He's put in a herculean shift, but it's been well

77:55

Speaker A

matched by the defense. We'll just uh see how that progresses. If this game goes on much longer, they're really going to have to start emptying their tank cuz right now they seem to be emptying their bench. The Americans

78:08

Speaker A

coming up against some fresh Canadian legs and finding the space against them. Quick swing across and nicely down the line. They're just so good at finding those gaps. Zulu flow aonomous in his ability to keep the Americans going.

78:25

Speaker A

Bartlett oh that time throwing into the space in the open trap. Nathan Daly gets it. Some quick pops back and forth.

78:37

Speaker A

Swinging along. Xia Dubet. Nobody cutting into where he would like the huck. Now two people turn and go up the line immediately. That's an awful lot of folk in a a very small space. Big reaching grab. Fantastically done by

78:52

Speaker A

Davis Top. He's brought his go- go gadget boots. He's been flying all over the pitch all day. Double layout. Fantastic block.

79:01

Speaker A

Wasn't sure if there's going to be a call there or not. Grossberg able to get low and get there first against Nathan Daly. So Daly gets one D. Gberg gets one back. And here come the Americans 13-7.

79:13

Speaker A

Big shot all the way downfield. And that's an insane grab. Destined for dirt, but Emily Py has other ideas.

79:22

Speaker A

Picks up the assist and at this point is just showing off Aaron Bartlett with the goal. Emily Py with a career-defining play. 14-7 Gber and Py both putting it all on the line here at the end of this

79:38

Speaker A

game. One point away Lurin from a gold medal and showing to us right now why this program has won so many gold medals. They don't take anything for granted. Putting everything they have out there. And the number of times they

79:53

Speaker A

have earned the disc back off this Canadian team is sensational. Putting big plays out. This one. The play from Canada. Daily going back the other way.

80:03

Speaker A

But then this block from Gber laying out big in the space says no fly zone on that one. And then Emily Posey. This USA team has been unbelievable. working.

80:19

Speaker A

And then to do a play like that where you're literally scraping your knuckles on the turf to get to the disc first, like try diving fist first at your front garden. See how that feels. For Posie to then stand up and just cool as you like,

80:36

Speaker A

dish that little pass straight into the end zone. I've seen so many people get up after those plays. Conservation of great greatness. Turnover. Absolutely not for Emily. 14-7 in the United States. Look, that if anything, that score line, it's very reflective of the

80:52

Speaker A

game we've watched in front of us. So, here come the Canadians. Every point now threatens to be the last of their campaign. And they've had such fun playing together, such joy coming together. I'm sure the friendships will last if the memory of today is something

81:10

Speaker A

they may prefer to forget. There's still time to fight back and take pride in their efforts. It's Neielson from Zan Kurahashi. Full extension grab and no continuation cut from the stack and another full extension grab from Neielson. But that's how much effort the

81:24

Speaker A

Canadians have to put in to retaining possession in the dump space. Kurahashi has the chance to lead downfield. Takes it. There's not been too many opportunities for smooth plays like that. Daly has Neielson behind now.

81:37

Speaker A

Neielson cuts up the line. Has a little bit of separation. Catches the disc on the float. Kahashi mis times that cut and shuts off the options. goes back to Daly. Daly thinks about the swing. Goes back to Neielson. Great little clamping

81:48

Speaker A

and switching. The Americans don't mind who you're covering as long as you're covering someone. A testament to their defensive prowess. Goes back to Shiggley as Cutchkins again peels off to stop the twoperson game. Cutins on Daily.

82:02

Speaker A

Shiggley shoots Zang. Look, if you're looking for leadership, it's always going to come back to Alicia Zang, it seems. 148. Yeah, Alicia Zang and Ryan Jiggly staying calm in that moment on the doorstep of the end zone.

82:18

Speaker A

Canada just resetting the disc. Much more patience from them rather than trying to force it into that front corner of the end zone, opting to get that reset into the middle. And then Zang timed that cut so nicely off the

82:30

Speaker A

front of the stack to get a wide open point in the end. And you see Shingley here, no hesitation, knew where he wanted to look for that next pass. and Zang getting the goal. But Canada Lurin trailing 14-8

82:45

Speaker A

game point here for the USA and their offense back on the field. Actually been trading since Canada broke 126, which would you believe is across four points is the longest sustained period of trading we've had in this final. As I

83:02

Speaker A

got to say, this is some of the longest sustained support we've seen. The crowd has been right with the Canadians all day long.

83:09

Speaker A

before them. The Belgian crowd also very vocal trying to find that energy, trying to find that spirit, lift their team. You can see, helping any way they can [Music] [Applause] as the Canadians, I believe it was the Canadians, call a

83:32

Speaker A

timeout, try and assess what's going on. Look, this next point could be the last of their tournament. you want to extend that experience as long as possible.

83:40

Speaker A

So, we're going to see what happens when we return as it is the United States 14, Canada 8.

84:00

Speaker A

[Music] Welcome back everybody. It's the evening here in Lagronio, Spain and according to the crowd, it's break time for TC. Well, check your watch. What does it tell you?

84:26

Speaker A

As the Canadians come out with a big pull and this American I was about to say O line. It's not an O line. It's American. One of three lines. I'm going to say Quuevos cuz I like eggs.

84:38

Speaker A

Looking to scramble the America, the Canadian defense one more time. And just a pick called upfield Lurin as the defenders will reset.

84:51

Speaker A

[Applause] And here they come trying to flow down the pitch but into a bit of problems.

85:03

Speaker A

Gets the block, gets the touch and Canada with a chance for a break. Not looking to rush anything.

85:11

Speaker A

Davis Toth surveying, shooting for the end zone. Help defense arriving and it's a massive layout play. The defender helped clamp but ultimately the credit has to go to Aaron Bartlett. Sometimes you've just got to let Bartlett be Bartlett. To me,

85:29

Speaker A

Lurin, it looked like Lachlan Margie saw there was trying to get the disc into the end zone as well rather than going to attack it, allowing for that D to come and run through to get the block.

85:39

Speaker A

Huge play. I don't think that's a no block. I don't think any point mark was engaged there. Just reading the eyes of Caroline Stone and sticking the hand off, keeping it in the danger area. Fantastic defensive awareness for the goal. Lucier comes

85:58

Speaker A

back under able to get the touch. Can't get it back to Mach though. Tries to center it. Now a leading pass.

86:05

Speaker A

Big defensive efforts but fantastic composure and hands from Roberts. Got a point earlier on. Catching under some duress in the end zone. Now looking for the inside out scoop. Setting up an air battle and one that is contested. But I

86:19

Speaker A

think Maruson got there first. Nope. That is a hard disagree. It is in fact intercepted. Maruson understood. He did not get there first. It was Micah Glass adding to his impressive tally. Now we go to Magino. Magnolo across to Stone.

86:33

Speaker A

Stone wants to end this right now. Looking for Freriedman but looking too far. That one just not executed from Stone.

86:41

Speaker A

You can see the thumbs up after that throw. The right option, the right decision. Freiedman was open. maybe just a bit excited knowing how open Freiedman was knowing that that is the moment they could have ended the game. So just not

86:54

Speaker A

the execution on it. Canada another chance at a break. So taking that long lonely walk to the disc in the end zone. Samantha Mach has been quite impressive for the Canadians throughout this match.

87:11

Speaker A

stepping on when required for the O line when they've stumbled getting blocks without even looking at the disc and now sitting as the lynch pin what could be the final point for this Canadian iteration tough and you can see almost the consternation

87:30

Speaker A

on Marusan's face I got to tell you Marusan you need to be going faster than that and now a big huck downfield it's another battle and it's another block for Aaron Bartlett Bartlett just owning that space right now.

87:45

Speaker A

Could not say it better. Lurin Bartlett has been all over. You can see him shoulder checking there to see where Nicholls was before rising above and getting to the disc first. The USA has Canada's number.

87:59

Speaker A

Has all 22 of them it seems. And that was a difficult catch. Is that a timeout called by Bartlett as he caught that one or Yes, it must have been cuz otherwise he thinks he's just scored in a Callahan on

88:15

Speaker A

his own end zone and that makes no sense. So, yep, seems like a USA timeout recognizing a lot of turns, a lot of back and forth on this point at 148.

88:25

Speaker A

They just want to settle their nerves, Becky. Yeah, I think exactly that here, Lurin. The USA just want to settle. They want to take a moment to take that deep breath, play calm offense. They had open options in that previous possession.

88:38

Speaker A

just rushing it a little bit. You've seen the incredible defensive plays throughout. Bartlett tracking that one all the way. Coming from behind as well, his closing speed so effective. Sam Mock going the other way. Just keeping her eyes on Stone to make that no look

88:58

Speaker A

block. And then again, Micah Glass. How did he catch that one? Lurin. He's been practicing picking locks and pockets.

89:13

Speaker A

Something Fagan would be proud of as we see another stop. Bartlett. Presidential in that space taking command.

89:28

Speaker A

I like that call as well. I think that's smart leadership. You're one point off. Things have been getting a little bit loose, a little bit unhinged. Let's Let's just tighten up a wee bit.

89:42

Speaker A

Bartlet's going to pick it up. He did it immediately as well. So, it's not like going come back in on three. It's like, nah, I caught that and I called it. He didn't even slow down.

89:49

Speaker A

[Applause] Of course, now they're facing fundamental 25. And he has to start just where he called the timeout, which was slightly inside his end zone. Big swing around Stone [Music] [Applause] marked well by Lucier but able to get

90:09

Speaker A

the break down to Magnol. Magnol inside Bartlett. [Music] Big fakes before eventually going back.

90:22

Speaker A

That's fantastic break by Glass Magna since she's come back from injury has just been so available consistently.

90:30

Speaker A

Great little throw through to Bartlett. They're right outside the end zone. It could go Bartlett Magnant the whole way down if they wanted to. Stone can't swing it around to Kervik instead just taking the dump. No need to

90:47

Speaker A

force anything. Gold stays gold forever, so you don't need to rush to collect it.

90:57

Speaker A

Kervik Stone. Kervik continues and tries to hop it in. It's going to be a bit of discussion.

91:06

Speaker A

They decide no. And that one is definitive. M Glass, who's just been perfect in this game, helps them get the win. 158 finishes.

91:20

Speaker A

USA your world champions. USA once again champions here at the under 24 mixed division. I actually thought that one from Delan Perfect might have been jumped in successfully but then the second time you see smiles on the faces

91:36

Speaker A

of the Canadians put down a big effort in the second half but today Lurin in every single division this story has been about the United States. They have been so do dominant, so clinical and they have taken apart teams. Incredible

91:51

Speaker A

stuff here from the Americans. [Music] As we have a look here at some of those highlights, this was the finishing shot.

92:07

Speaker A

Now, did Kervik Oh, it's close. It's close. His foot might have been down when he was leaping. It's very hard to do. you know, not wanting to get into a discussion right there. He's like, "No, no, no. Let's let's just get right back

92:16

Speaker A

to the action cuz I can see Glass coming." And he's coming through to shatter some Canadian hopes and dreams.

92:23

Speaker A

But they still take the silver. And as you said, Becky, 12 years absent from the final for a country a lot of people consider, if not the second best, certainly top three, top four in the world. So definitely a successful

92:36

Speaker A

campaign especially after the disappointment of last iterations Canadians as we are going to go and talk to the newly crowned champions who are with our sideline reporter Stephan Rapazo.

92:50

Speaker A

We are with Orm and Potsy after a uh trifecta victories for the Americans. Uh let's go to Anton first. Talk about your feelings right now. You guys have got the trifecta. How you feeling? I mean, awesome. Amazingly happy. Like, we put

93:06

Speaker A

this team together. Um, and a lot of us have never played together, but we put put together a great mix team and like we made it happen. We accomplished our goal. I feel amazing. Uh, you guys, there's been talk about the three

93:17

Speaker A

different identities of your lines. Uh, talk about a bit of the variation, how you work in three units and and how you guys have put it all together. Our line was we were the Oh, no. We're the one.

93:30

Speaker A

[Applause] My my tech's going to blow up here, but we're still going. We were the Y line.
