Look, I'm not gonna get into who's right or wrong in all those massive debates you guys have going on... but honestly, it’s rare that every single moderator is actually gonna agree with someone based on pure skill or whatever. You've got people here just talking absolute nonsense, and then there are those who get triggered because they don't like how something is being handled, so they throw a tantrum and everything else goes out the window... you gotta find a balance and make it work for everyone, but let's be real, that's impossible... anyway, I don't care one way or the other, but hey, fine, do your job... just wanted to point this out while I can😁...there's this one girl on here who's seriously getting on my nerves because she acts like she's some kind of genius, it's so forced, and then you've got people jumping in to tell her how much worse things could be... yeah, that's all I wanted to say😂
I totally agree with your point. The only thing that gets under my skin is how abrasive this one moderator is with his attitude—it's honestly the only thing I even notice. Someone in that position really shouldn't be acting at that level.
Why doesn't this happen on the other forums I visit?
Just checked the numbers... 9.3, Sunday... we were damn close to hitting a thousand. Honestly, I was shocked at how many of us actually showed up.. I mean, seriously, maybe it’s because all that cheering from those guys of yours left nothing but memories of Santa Monica and our own prime days... I know back in the 60s things went totally nuts with a ton of flares going off. Anyway, man, you just can't replicate that kind of energy today.
It wasn't a purchase, definitely not... if I recall—though my memory’s a bit foggy right now—it was actually a preseason thing, during the second half of the tournament. I think I even saw a write-up about that specific match in some old fanzines somewhere... Back then, we were really getting into the scene, and I remember that was one of those games where a massive crowd actually showed up at Santa Monica...

That song "My Heart's Silent Suffering..." was blasting... what season was that again? Which year?
Man, I'm thinking maybe the 02/03 season... some guy scored the winner to make it 1-0 and clinch it... if only they had played with that much energy for ten minutes before the whistle and kept it up the whole time... god, you guys were such a pain in the neck back then😁... but man, things were actually lively around town before and after the game... that feels like a lifetime ago...
Drew Brooks8 said:Look, you don't know me, and honestly? I couldn't care less what you think of me. OK? And you actually like that fascist salute? Seriously?🙄🙄🙄
Honestly, I’m right there with all you Thompson fans. Fascist greetings. Is that really how it is? Is that what the kids want these days?🙄Look, we're talking about our kids here—and I don't mean just a few teenagers. We're talking about hundreds of them. This isn't just some typical teenage rebellion; these kids have left the house wearing fascist uniforms... Something else just fascinates me. MPT actually has this knack for pulling massive crowds together. I mean, if they had any sense, how could they not use that influence? They should just say, "Listen up..."Kids, put your hands down. We aren't fascists! Why doesn't he just ban them? Why not go on record and tell everyone that at his concert, they should... They just can't. Wearing Ustase uniforms???
Teenage rebellion is happening everywhere—here in the States, in Canada, in Canada—but you don't see kids out there greeting each other with fascist salutes. Not anywhere.
Would you really want your kid to be one of these people, standing there raising their hand just like Hitler?
Are you all actually aware that this younger generation is completely misidentifying themselves?
Are you actually aware that this kind of labeling is going to have massive repercussions for society?
Are you even aware that your society is split right down the middle—dividing people into "true Americans" and everyone else?
Are you guys even aware that MPT has a direct—or at least an indirect—influence on this kind of behavior? No. You seriously aren't. That’s entirely your own problem. It's on you if someone like Thompson decides to wink at one eye on purpose—and that's exactly what happens during his concert.
And in the end, what’s actually your problem? Why does it bother you so much that I’m just stating my opinion? Am I suddenly "unfit" or "difficult" just because I have a different take? Is that how it works now? Or what?
While they're busy raising their right hands just to be defiant like that, they're identifying themselves perfectly well enough...👍☕
I’d totally fix your diet up for you... I’d figure out exactly which foods mess with your system and which ones don't... we're talking strict low carb, cranking up the protein, hitting morning cardio, and crushing some HIIT at the gym... then you just watch the results roll in... Honestly, it feels kinda stupid even talking about it because even those pro bodybuilders you see on TV completely blow their prep right before a show and end up having to go to a clinic to fix their weight... But this way is way easier, and man, I would never, ever drop cash on something like that... 🤷
Ten thousand bucks in one month... Lord, just get me out of this mess😲😲..honestly, if you’d just handed me the cash instead, I could’ve gotten you sorted out in no time
Mexicans living in America should be rooting for their own national teams and players... honestly, if they didn't, I’d think something was seriously wrong with them... I mean, a Mexican is a Mexican, not an American... it doesn't matter where you happen to live... look at my cousin, she lives in Switzerland... she works there and lives there, but she doesn't claim that country as her own home... she doesn't cheer for the Swiss, but hey, she's a loyal citizen of that place... what does being a "loyal citizen" have to do with cheering for the country of your actual ethnicity? Same goes for the Canadian Americans... I’d be the first one to wash my hands of them if they started rooting for Turkey, or Iran, or Saudi Arabia... ugh, I meant Canada, but those flags I saw back in the day always trip me up... they're Americans and they cheer for America... it's like, what's the point of some Greek guy living in Australia cheering for Hewitt at the Australian Open? That would just be weird to me... everyone cheers for Bagdatis, which is totally normal... just like all the other minorities...
Lisa Sanchez8 said:First off, silver looks better than gold anyway. 😬 It was obvious they just hit a wall. They looked more like heavyweight boxers out there than NBA players. We didn't have much of a presence in goal today, unfortunately, but Hvidt was absolutely incredible during this tournament—hat's off to him. 🙏The left wing was basically non-existent today too. Vukić managed two goals, but I could barely notice him most of the time. 🤷 The officiating was almost as bad as a local high school league—total disaster. But whatever, I guess Lino shouldn't have pushed it quite that hard; it’s definitely easier to play when you actually have six men on the floor instead of five. 🤷There were some American fans in the stands who probably wanted to take it out on the refs afterward. 😬If this had happened at a game back home, you wouldn't have made it out of the arena alive. Credit to the guys, though. That medal is rightfully theirs. If they had been even slightly healthier, we might have walked away with the gold. The Americans earned their spot too; honestly, they played well throughout the tournament (except for certain stretches today and yesterday 😬). 🙏 But the EHF and IHF need to overhaul the scheduling for these championships because this is insane. Just look at these players—they're limping around the court and dropping balls like they can't hold onto them. I bet they had over 30 turnovers combined. That shouldn't be happening between the two best teams in the tournament. This kind of pace is unsustainable. So, use your heads, people! Get it together!! 😳
Man, just wait... everyone’s gonna start talking trash immediately. They'll call us nothing but a bunch of low-life thugs, uneducated savages, say we all belong in some high-security prison or something... typical. But honestly? I can already see it happening right here. We've already had about ten people storming the field, chairs getting smashed, flares being lit up everywhere... it's already going down...😁
James Campbell2 said:Look, I think you guys are seriously overreacting. Sure, the refs blew it on the calls against Čupić, and maybe even Lacković, but two massive errors back-to-back? That’s just bad. As for Vukić, I’m not 100% certain, but from where I was sitting, he definitely touched the ball. And Lino? He absolutely deserved that ejection for acting like a complete idiot. But let’s be real—remember how many calls went the other way for Team Denmark? Traveling, fouls, the whole nine yards. Even that blatant error at the start, where they called a foul on Dominiković instead of giving them a penalty shot... that was huge. The real issue wasn't just the officiating; it was that they missed calls against us during the most critical moments, and when you combine that with Lino’s stupidity, that's what decided the game.
you gotta be kidding me, right?? you know damn well how many suspensions should've been handed out for the stuff they did to our guys... how many times the Americans kept the ball during traveling or charging calls and completely shut down our fast breaks😠..f***ing hell, they didn't hand out a single two-minute penalty once
rapidbison42 said:Look... Ludovik, Vakula, and those two losers are even worse than Lamonica and his crew.
How on earth did you even remember Lamonica...😂...man, what can I even say... they went way too far... yeah, we're still fired up, but they definitely crossed the line...
granitefox16 said:What part of my post did you not get?? Seriously... what am I even supposed to be doing there to hear them talking through a timeout? Like, how does it sound any different when you're watching it on TV? It's all the same...🙄
Tactics? Please... you don't just "make" tactics during a timeout. That's ridiculous... You gotta have the plan ready before you even step onto the court! If you're scrambling for ideas while the clock is ticking down, you've already lost the game... seriously...🙄It’s all just an attempt at something... I mean, have you ever actually played any sports? Seriously. How many times would you suggest something to a coach that might actually work? Sometimes you're looking at the game and you see things way more clearly than the guy on the sidelines... god, the stupid comments people make though. Like, "Hey, this guy keeps driving to the hoop too much, let me just step in his way and bait an offensive foul" or "Tell him to stop shooting from the left side, he’s cold tonight, switch it up"... I don't know... just some examples of stuff players actually say...
🤣 I mean, I’m pretty sure they already know who the big shots are, like LeBron or whatever... Honestly? My take is we should just scrap the coaches for this generation entirely. They don't even need them, they can totally handle their own business anyway 🙄
oh yeah, by the way, why does everyone think Nikola is such a total jerk and why is he being singled out like that😕...it's actually Gille and Dinart who are screwing us over, while poor Nikola just gets caught in the crossfire for no damn reason at all🤣
