USA - Argentina (full match)

USA sealed their first FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Cup in 30 years as well as a place at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with a 3-1 (25-20, 25-21, 17-25, 25-20) victory over Argentina as the tournament reached its thrilling conclusion in Tokyo. The triumph saw them leapfrog Poland and Italy into first place, with the Poles resigned to third and denied a spot at the Olympics despite being unbeaten until their final day loss to the Italians. Maxwell Holt won the most impressive player award with 18 points as his country sealed their first World Cup since 1985. Facundo Conte topped the scorers with 22 points. USA coach John Speraw said: "I'm rarely at a loss for words. To do something that hasn't been done in 30 years. There is not a harder tournament to win. The team kept focus. The challenge of the tournament made us better. This is a team that has tremendous promise. It's incredible what we could accomplish without players like Russell and Sander having even played a minute of pro volleyball. David Lee has put together a good career. Matt Anderson is stepping into a leadership role. I want to thank USA Volleyball, my staff. I can't say enough. They were tremendous all the way through. It's a stressful challenge for any coach to qualify for the Olympics. I thought our serve was good throughout the tournament and our blocking got better as we went along."
