songbird - It’s sweet, sure... enough to be okay, but honestly? Kind of a snooze. The only part worth listening to is "and i love u and i love u...." 5/10

go your own way honestly, this album is finally starting to pick up... even if this track feels like a total relic from a different era, it still hits just as hard today. 9/10

Had a few drinks, and since nobody was around to chat, I just threw on an album to pass the time... and now I'm already at the last track 🤣

Who even are you... 🤣

It's our run. Let's go, boys, stretch that lead out, don't let up now... 😬
Give me some reason to believe in this team again... 🎉
Look, all that means is a couple of solid saves from the goalie. It gets the squad hyped, and usually, that opens up a chance for a fast break or a counter...

You can't even put Spain in the same conversation as Norway. Honestly, we lean more toward those polished, breezy types you see in Norway, rather than those rugged, bearded lumberjacks from Spain...
But when it comes down to us, you never really know 🤣

We seriously need to get the wings involved, for crying out loud. They're running a 5-1 zone right now, and we have to tear that thing apart by driving hard from the wings. We need to disrupt their rhythm. They're just standing there, totally unprepared for this kind of pressure against a 5-1...
A bit more movement, better agility, actually playing without the ball...
Come on guys, it's still within reach...

mellowtinker2 said:Are the refs playing us just a little bit too?
Yeah.
If they gave us every single 50-50 ball, we’d probably still find a way to mess it up because we're just built different lol

Cindrić is just misunderstood 🤣 like how Ivan was during those rough old days

It’s always been the goalies who actually win you the game. You could score 100 goals yourself, but it doesn't mean a damn thing if you let in 101 😬

Zlaja scored from some godforsaken corner to clinch the win.

Handball is just one of those sports... Honestly, who could possibly be doing a better job right now? Nowhere else is it quite like this.

The Spaniards probably scouted us pretty hard before this match... maybe Coach Babcock wanted to try something different and catch them off guard by starting Alilovic 😬

I don't even know where to start with this one... just looking at the numbers and feeling exhausted. It’s like we’re watching the same old patterns repeat themselves over and over again. You expect progress, you expect a shift in momentum, but instead? Just more of the same. It’s frustrating... honestly, it's draining. We keep talking about potential, but talk is cheap when the results aren't showing up on the scoreboard. I'm just sitting here wondering if anyone else is actually seeing what I'm seeing... or if I'm just shouting into the void. kaže:
Everything checks out, but man... today he was playing at a whole different level. Just absolute peak performance...
He might blow past his own ceiling, sure... but what kind of tools is he even using when his absolute peak is just someone else's baseline? ... 😵
I don't even know where to start with this one... just total chaos on the court. We were looking at that FIBA World Cup matchup, USA vs Spain 29:33, and honestly? It was painful to watch. You expect more from the guys. Just lacked that killer instinct when it mattered most. Anyway, I saw silverdrifter24 talking about how we should have played more aggressively in the paint, and yeah, maybe. But you can't just force it if the defense is shutting you down like that. It’s frustrating. Really makes you wonder what the coaching staff is even thinking during those timeouts... nothing seems to stick. Sam Murphy keeps insisting that the rotation was the problem, but I think it's deeper than that. It's the execution. Pure and simple. If you can't close out games against teams like Spain, you aren't going to win anything meaningful in this tournament... just an observation. kaže:
That pass through the legs for Aguinagalde was actually pretty slick... 🙏🙏🙏
It’s a one-off thing. They played it by the book once, and it worked... but you can't just pull that stunt twice. Even the most basic defenses are going to see it coming the second time around. 🤣
Rok I can't even begin to process this... It’s just one thing after another lately. Every time you think things are finally settling down, something else hits the fan. I'm sitting here staring at the screen and honestly, I'm just exhausted by the whole situation. It feels like we're constantly spinning our wheels while everyone else moves ahead. Just... yeah. Typical.
Turns out they aren't.
Their goalie was on fire, pulling off 9 saves—that’s a solid 25%... meanwhile, our guys only managed 7 saves at 18%. Tough break...
I switched the channel like six minutes before the end... ☕

steelharbor9 said:Go ahead, grill him. I’m dying to hear what people actually think. The guy put up big numbers, held his own on defense, stepped up when it mattered. Everything the team needed from him over the last few years...
Most of the time, this guy is just a roadblock. The only time he's useful is when someone crashes right into him.
Yeah, Kopljar looks decent for a minute there. Why? Because we don't have a damn backup. We're paper-thin at that position...
He's naive on offense, plays with his back to the play, zero court vision, blah blah blah...

No Trump, no party...
Alright, look, now that the hype has finally died down... after we all opened our eyes and moved past those endless predictions about how we were definitely walking away with the gold... it’s actually time for a reality check...
And it’s the truth...Duvnjak, Kopljar, Čupić, Alilović... they're just... Garbage takes garbage... These teams... honestly, I’d go as far as to say they're the weakest links in the whole tournament. You look at someone like Duvnjak, and you expect him to take charge and carry the load, but clearly, in his head, "taking charge" just means forcing plays that aren't there. Then he starts playing sloppy...
As for Koljar... I’m not even going to waste my breath...
Čupić is having a rough tournament. Way too many missed opportunities and not nearly enough penalty calls... honestly, it caught me off guard because he’s usually so dialed in. More so than usual, actually...
Aliloviiiiiić. Look, even the birds on the wire know he’s been stuck as the starting goalie for a few tournaments now, and honestly, it hasn't been deserved... But man, what did that "phenomenal" Stevanović actually bring to the table? Sure, he was incredible against Poland... but that's about it. And speaking of that Poland game—now that the hype has died down—let's be real. That Poland squad is three tiers below this Spanish team.
Are the Spaniards playing too aggressive on the line? They’re practically glued to that pivot! And that wing runner? We're talking about a world-class talent like Čupić... No clue... When a winger breaks in, shouldn't someone be screaming "TWO" and covering the outside? He just stayed glued to the line while everyone else was rotating in...
Next, they switch to a 3-2-1. Then a 5-1 defense? And don't even get me started on those non-existent penalties... Fine, the coach finally caught on—took him long enough, obviously—and he switches back to a standard 6-0. So then some guy just steps up and drains a shot from six and a half meters out. How is that even possible?...
Their goalies actually looked worse than ours on paper, statistically speaking. So, we can't just point the finger at the keepers this time around... though, honestly, a few more saves wouldn't have hurt.
The bright side...Young players, especially... Slišković and Marić...You could see it in their eyes—they wanted it more than anyone else on the court. Honestly, that hunger alone made them play better than the rest of the squad...
Same here... Making it to the semifinals is a win... period.Look, there’s no point in running away from reality here. Sure, we could have walked away with the gold, but honestly? We could’ve just crashed out in the second round too. This is a massive win despite everything that went down. Huge props to the guys... on to the next one. 😬
