Ugh, man, this has gotta be the most nerve-wracking game I've watched in a long time.

We’re up by one,

but we're playing down a man,

and it's definitely not a tie...

Tense, oh man, so tense

Mexico just clawed their way back to within 4

It's currently 11:23 PM

Only 5 minutes left on the clock

5 min

0:0 🤣

This hall is pretty tiny, honestly, and because of that, it feels half-empty.

Honestly, I have no clue what to expect tonight. If I had to sum up this whole tournament based on how things have been playing out, my takeaway is pretty grim: our national team just isn't built to last sixty minutes. It’s obvious they aren't in game shape, because they seem to hit a wall and completely fall apart in the final fifteen minutes of every single match.

dustypanther6 said:don't be like that. our guys can still fight for that fourth spot in the group. they just need to absolutely steamroll Poland and Argentina, and then everyone needs to get behind us. I know your goal is to make it to the Olympics, and to pull that off, you've gotta finish at least seventh, right? Fingers crossed for you guys.

thanks, best of luck to you too moving forward 👍

I mean, I know what the commentator is going to say about it, so we'll see, though honestly, it would’ve been better if we were facing Argentina tomorrow; but hey, it is what it is, at least the refs won't let the Polish team run up a two-minute advantage while playing a man down.😁

dustypanther6 said:the whole point of this forum is basically just off-topic rambling and trolling, otherwise we'd all be sitting here with maybe five posts to our names, so honestly, feel free to talk about comic books if you want🙂

Anyway, let's go Team USA!

you guys actually still have a shot since Sweden isn't exactly a powerhouse🙂

but our squad is finished; they might as well just start making snowmen and huddling up until the tournament ends😁

ugh, and what's the deal with Soderling and Nolet not playing tomorrow?😁 🤣

Gregory Ramos3 said:Man, what are you even whining about? We had to grow up reading stuff like Zagora, Mr. No, Marty Mystery, Black Stone, and all that other junk in a completely different dialect... ☕

Black Rock 😁
woah, is this supposed to be considered off-topic? 🤔 😁

Ryan Moore68 said:Yeah, exactly... I honestly think he was talking directly to Napoleon 🤣
And it feels so incredibly authentic , especially since Alan Ford only started releasing stuff in American English a few years back; before that, everything was coming out in those old-school regional dialects from the old Yugoslavia days.

True, but just for the sake of feeling authentic, I actually wrote it using that specific dialectal twist... man, what a headache, all those extra letters 😁

Ryan Moore68 said:What you guys really needed back then was Number 1 stepping up to set the tone with some profound wisdom like, "Look, fellas, if we're actually planning on winning, we can't afford to lose."🤣

"if you want to win, you shouldn't lose" 🙏 🙏 🤣

granitefox15 said:When there's a penalty on the Mexicans, the Swedes get like three power plays—you can practically see them coasting through their passive offense within ten seconds. But when it's on the Swedes? The Mexicans get zero. Zilch. Nothing. And then they call a passive play in the literal final second of the suspension 😂 honestly, it’s beyond a joke.

Handball is honestly a worse sport than water polo. At least in water polo, you have fewer players and one defense to deal with, so you don't have to worry about the refs actively sabotaging you, but in handball? Forget about it.

Objectively speaking, the Americans are stronger by a margin of +6 or +7
but we haven't even seen them play at Madison Square Garden yet.

Exactly, that's the point. There was that one time they were short-handed and managed to just hog the ball in their offensive zone for nearly two minutes straight.🤣 🤣

Melissa Peterson19 said:Just typical right-wing paranoia. There’s no way a new America is happening. The Constitution won't allow it—that was settled by consensus long ago. Where is this wild idea coming from that the Democratic Party would try to change it if they took power? And Biden? What actual evidence is there to suggest he'd even go there?

Exactly 👍

So, that’s pretty much the whole story...

I mean, look at how Mexico is playing in this tournament—they're basically putting in 50 minutes of effort and calling it a day. For real, it just doesn't work that way.

It feels like we’ve completely run out of steam on offense; I mean, even 🙄Rnić
missed a total sitter here.
+2 Sweden

18:19

A quick two-minute minor for us, huh?

Unbelievable. Honestly, how do Curkovic and Toskic not know how to shut down a player without sending them to the penalty box?

it’s finally kicked off 👋

5:4 for the US

Got the matchup against Sweden tomorrow at 6 PM

Not holding my breath, though, because I caught the Swedes playing yesterday and they honestly looked a bit more washed than the Danes.

Bumping Poland out of the running

+3 for Sweden

Only 3 minutes left on the clock

So if this is how it goes for the user, then

The Swedes actually managed to hold them off despite playing a man down 🙏

+2 more in the 7th minute

42' Sweden is up by two

edit: 44' they're up by three now
