Let's talk about the USA versus France game at the World Ultimate Beach Championships. Nope, not that one. We're going to break down the Open Division [music] pool play game where the defending champions from the United States saved off a formidable French contingent that led for the entire game until the final point. I think there was one point that clearly defined the game and it wasn't universe point. The first US break at 6 to7 shows the level of defensive adaptation and grit that makes them so hard to beat. Let's hit the stage up until this point. The French offense [music] was lethal in the deep space for the first half.

And second, whenever Stangu releases the disc, Marman uses his body [music] to shield any deep cutting motion. Platsolski looks to get a similar no deep treatment with his mark.
