They earned it during that showdown against the Pole2, and they certainly got it today. Still, if I’m being honest, the arena was missing about another 10 or 15 decibels of energy. 😁

Man, once we move to the next arena, the volume is going to be even more insane. 😬

It’s night and day compared to that first game, isn't it? Turns out our fans actually know how to show up and get rowdy when the stakes are actually high. 😁

Anthony James2 said:Exactly. What a massive win. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen Team USA play this well. There's one more thing, though. It really looks like Vukovic knows what he's doing as a coach. The strategy was spot on. 👍

Yeah, and he's out there on TV right now claiming he didn't hold anyone back...

I mean, obviously, this was just a semifinal qualifier, so we really need to take it one step at a time since nothing is set in stone for the actual semis yet, though regardless of how it plays out, you've gotta hand it to them. 🙏

Man, that was an absolute nail-biter. Huge props to our boys for pulling that one off 👍 👍 👍
pioneer 🙏

What are we even supposed to do when we're blowing two straight possessions because a player just can't seem to execute a single play properly?

Seriously, at this point, it might actually be better if they don't get any of their guys ejected.😁

seriously, can we just get one single counterattack, for crying out loud?

Stanić 🙏, come on man, let's finally see this equalizer

👋

Nah, it's not Kovinjalo🤣
The striker is doing the play-by-play, which isn't bad, though he's definitely not quite on the level of someone like Shary (not that I've ever actually heard him call a handball game before)

Emily Bennett3 said:The referees for the Denmark game are absolute 😁 garbage.

Well, it's because they’re breaking through so cleanly that our guys end up jumping into the crease just to try and stop them.🙂

Toskić 🤦

So instead of a 7:7 tie, we’re stuck with a penalty shootout and playing a man down? Seriously? To hell with handball. 😁

I mean, let's be real, we just don't have a powerhouse center

Bravo, what an absolute disaster of a goal.🙏

Man, give me a break.🙄

Paul Lopez6 said:They basically just blew two games right in their faces—down a man and still losing 19-20. I mean, seriously?

honestly, if you ask me, that's when handball gets really interesting🤣

The Slovaks tried to pull off some fancy play 😬 but ended up getting caught on a fast break and giving up a goal 🤣
+15

Watching how easily the Poles are dismantling the Slovaks, I’m starting to think our squad is actually pretty damn solid. It really makes me believe we might actually pull off a win against Dance 😁

Dance +11 Poland...

Tonight’s the big showdown for our group 🙂
and right now Poland is sitting at +3 against Slovakia

edit: with a man advantage, Poland's pushing for another one to go into halftime up +4

Are you kidding me right now? One more penalty and we’re looking at another ejection, just another penalty shot 🙄

And there you go, they managed to pull it off even being a man down,
honestly, nothing beats this feeling in handball—watching a squad defend perfectly while shorthanded, shut down the entire attack, and then just hammer home a goal right after 🤣

Those Russians just clawed their way back from a three-goal deficit, pulling off an equalizer with only three minutes left on the clock

Looks like the Russians are up by two
This game is probably going to be the deciding factor for who moves on to the next round, though honestly, I’m having a hard time picturing how either side would even hold their own against the French or the Spaniards 😁
