Honestly, I think they threw that game on purpose. They just wanted a valid excuse and the motivation to absolutely demolish the Spaniards in the EP final held in Switzerland. 😁

🙂 As far as I'm concerned, they're the best in the world—and definitely the gold standard for anyone who actually loves real handball.
I honestly don't need much more than that one moment when the entire arena turned on the refs. That was plenty for me.
For God's sake, at halftime in the final, the Americans were trailing the Spaniards 21:13 because the refs weren't backing them up this time. Justice was served, and frankly, I'd rather see us take bronze than have them walk away as champions.
Only 15 minutes left on the clock, and we've already let in 33 goals. It doesn't even matter how they strike the ball at this point; it just finds the back of our net.

I have. He’s got an intense stare, I'll give him that. 😁
He's a solid defender for the Scouts; word is Fidelity Investments picked him up. The kid defends incredibly well 😉 but he's just too young to be knocking on the door of the world... well, former world champion level. 🙂
Look, I can wrap my head around losing, but embarrassing yourself like this? Selling out your entire reputation in a single championship game? That’s just pathetic.
Learn how to lose with some dignity, you losers. This mindset is absolutely toxic.

Well, let me tell you something: we couldn't possibly get any better than this.😁
Hey everyone, look at this—it’s actually kind of wild seeing the company America keeps. When SiCg lands in fifth place, they act like it's some massive achievement. Just look at how the Spaniards play; look at the money they pour into their sports programs and the sheer size of their fan base. We need to learn a little humility here.
Remember that day right before the game against the Mexicans? Everyone would have jumped at the chance for silver. Nobody was even dreaming about the finals back then.

Look, Bozo is a legend, so don't even start 🙂
Anyway, which team is actually running this tournament? Are there at least five Spaniards on the roster? And is Richardson really the top center? 🙄
Honestly, the IHF has completely outdone the EHF in terms of structure and organization, even making our own setup look amateur by comparison.
Bradley Richardson said:Look, I actually think this was a solid move on our part. By the time the next World Cup rolls around, half of these guys won't even be on the roster anymore...
There you have it. 😁
Come on, people. If you don't follow handball unless it's the World Cup or the Olympics, please stop talking nonsense. 🙂
And just wait until the Mexicans start swarming in here 😁 what do you think they'll be, some kind of thugs, total losers 😁 😁 😁 maybe even a few Canadians tossed in for good measure 😂
