Dominic is the new coach! 🙏😁

Man! 🙏🙏🙏

Adam Howard25 said:Did you see when Lino raised his hand like in Mad Max 2? He made this motion in the air, then dropped it, and our guys switched from a 3-2-1 defense to a 6-0 just like they were programmed. The French players completely froze—they had no idea what was happening. Abalo Jemba Jemba was just standing there staring at Karabatica, looking totally lost, like, "What on earth is going on?" He starts moving toward Mirko out of confusion, but Mirko doesn't budge, and Abalo ends up hitting the crossbar wide open.

Next time, the team will go into a 3-2-1 and Abalo will still be stuck wondering what happened.

The people over at the Washington Post won't understand a word you're saying. You'll probably have to draw them a picture. 😁

Keith Fowler43 said:Maybe, Leo. 😁

🤣👍

Keith Fowler43 said:That’s great. But when are you actually going to start enjoying the win instead of wearing yourself out over the small stuff?😁

I don't know who enjoyed today's win more than I did. 🙏🙏🙏

Keith Fowler43 said:As the saying goes; We're a small group, but we're troublemakers.😁

Anyway, props to our national team for grinding their way to the finals. That’s really all that matters. People will just focus on how Lino managed the squad, which honestly just stresses me out. Any national team and its fans should be proud they actually have a shot at the gold.

Even for someone like me—someone who gets criticized by those old-school radicals for hating on the US (mostly because I hate on Lino)—today's win is still a massive point of pride. I'm cheering for the best national team we've ever had!

dustypilot22 said:And look— anyone attacking Lino is basically attacking America, whether you realize it or not.

🙏 Honestly, you can just close this thread now.

PS

If someone is against Červar, they're just a fool who let those who hate America wash their brains.

Man, we really need more writers from The Washington Post around here.
🙏

👍

You make a fair point. 🙂

He made it to the finals in this tournament, and the whole thing isn't even over yet.

I honestly don't know people who just don't care, or how you all manage to lose your minds so easily. 🤷

Just for you and your friends regarding Lynn:

Lynn:

Gold at the 2003 FIBA World Championship
Gold at the 2004 Summer Olympics
Silver at the 2005 FIBA World Championship
At least silver at the 2008 FIBA World Championship

What's the issue? 🤷

Another expert! 🙏 Someone who clearly has no clue what I'm talking about! 🙂

Well, I guess that's what happens when you're a hardline leftist. 😁

🤣🤣 Let's go with Boban! 👍😁

cosmicseal5 said:Unbelievable.
These aren't sixteen-year-old kids who need a coach they can just bow down to.
That kind of coach doesn't even exist in America or anywhere else.
Besides, that's not how things work with Americans. The best results come from great motivators, not authoritarian dictators.
Name one coach who could actually hold authority over someone like Balić, who basically invented the modern game for them? (Apparently, you think players just stare at the floor while listening to some genius tactical lecture)

Anyway, America is winning with Lin leading the charge, so feel free to keep complaining if it makes you feel better.👍

Right, because they clearly need a clown like Lino! 👍🙏 You're right, I see you're a sports psychologist, so I'll just back out of this argument. 🙏

And they really want me to believe Lino is some kind of authority? I mean, come on. What coach—let alone a national team head coach—would actually let a player take the reins and start calling the plays during a crucial timeout when you need to set up that next big offensive drive? 😵 Or maybe the players just weren't ready to head back to the locker room at halftime? 😵

rapidbison42 said:The Americans were just a pale shadow of their former selves during the group stage today.

I really hope they turn it around tomorrow! 🙏

Tyler Anderson48 said:It’s a sad truth. People forget so quickly—they forget the medals, and they forget that we weren't even in the conversation before we suddenly spent five years at the top. Anyone else would be celebrating Lina by now, but instead, everyone acts like there was no real effort involved. It's pretty cynical when you think about it. But hey, don't worry... that's just how Americans are.🤣

Come on, don't you start with that patriotic nonsense now too!🙄 Let’s talk about those tired old clichés regarding "threatened national interests." You know the ones... "If you aren't with me, you're against America."🙄 Who exactly is talking about this? I’m strictly discussing his current ability as a handball expert. I still stand by my point: anyone else could have been in his shoes at this championship, and our top-tier players would have delivered the exact same results.

Charles Martin2 said:I won't go on and reveal my sources just yet, but that tip I received? It’s spot on.
We’re going to take down the Frenchies!
If that kind of tone means anything to you...

In what sense? Water polo? 😁

wiredseal7 said:Maybe they’ll try some clever trick to catch us off guard early on, like those 5-1 solo breaks or 4-3-2 setups...

😁😁😁
It’s up to Vanja, Whatever, and me to step up and help out! 😁

boldhound8 said:It's crystal clear that the French are going to outmaneuver us tactically.😁

They completely figured us out in the last two games. Since then, we haven't progressed much on the tactical side or our plays. Plus, we're dealing with injuries, a lack of readiness, and we're missing a few key players.

But hey, we can still pull this off.🙏

If it's just about tactics... they're going to crush us in every way. I just hope we don't embarrass ourselves. 😢

Vanja
Just look at that score! 🙏🙏🙏

David Taylor13 said:It's not their fault they don't know enough to keep us from beating them by 5 points. 🤣
Have you actually watched any of their games lately? 😁

More than you have. 😉

Ivan, marry me! 🙏🙏🙏

You guys can talk all you want, but we’re still taking home the win! No doubt about it. ☕
