In any case, those Japanese teams are performing much better than we are.😁

Peter really messed us up 😲

Bring on the fight, bring on the fight! 😁

Alilović 🙏

8:5 for Denmark... they're going to pull this off!

They aren't playing it safe at all! They already locked up first place.

Samuel Baker3 said:Let's look at a hypothetical scenario

Teams A, B, and C all have 10 points.
Team A beat Team B.
Team C beat Team A.
Team B beat Team C.

Only one team moves on. Which one?

It’s whichever one has the best head-to-head goal differential.

The Danes beat us by +10, while we beat Canada by +5.

If Canada manages to beat the Danes by +2, then Denmark still advances with an +8, while Canada would sit in second at -3, leaving us in last place at -5.

As long as the teams stay this evenly matched, everyone is just going to obsess over their head-to-head matchups. That’s how it’s always been, and honestly, that’s how it’ll always be.

They're stumbling and playing worse by the day, and they have another game tomorrow. We’re younger, better rested, and much stronger. We’re going to take 🙂

And then there's the Americans 😁

I haven't caught their games yet... but honestly? They aren't exactly superstars. Plus, they're getting older, and they're already playing their third game in just three days! From what I can see, they have almost no depth on the wings, and they don't even seem to have a standout player who consistently performs during the season...

So, it really comes down to their defense and having home-court advantage.

Hey there, Mungos and everyone else... this is how we kick off the thread! ☕

If we beat Denmark, we’re basically playing a quarterfinal
Against Mexico, I don't think there's any way we drop points, and honestly, you'd expect Norway to take down Poland.
If those two assumptions hold up, a win against Denmark puts us straight into the semifinals!

James Garcia22 said:I’m watching the Germans and Canadians right now. The Germans are up by 4 and really running the show. The Canadians look rough, though—honestly, I have no clue how they managed to beat the Spaniards earlier. ☕

Overall, if we play the same way we did against the Poles, I just don't see how any of these teams could beat us.

What are you even thinking? That's the semifinals, man! That's a long way off.

Were the French messing around against the Slovaks? Was Straniowski actually with the Slovaks?

Mexico snagged the point 🙏 🙏

Personally, I think facing Poland will be the toughest matchup in the group. Honestly, I wouldn't even argue with that.

Well, honestly, considering where we're coming from and the reputation we've built up lately... I suspect the odds on us might be set just a little too low given how things actually stand 🙂

I’m actually going to suggest Cervar here, along with wearyeagle2

He just seems like the most optimistic guy to me!

There is absolutely no way this works after that "why even have a thread" comment🙂

Anyway, where did Kemik go?🙂

Hey, the game is only two days away! Who’s going to be our official thread starter? It’s quite a heavy responsibility 😳 and a huge risk 🥳

wearyeagle2 said:If Džomba were actually here, we could be predicting scores like 7-12 per game right now. But instead—forget it. It’s going to be tough, but pure spite might just carry us a long way. That is, if we even have him. Lino is an Istrijan; for those guys, "spite" is basically their middle name.

I guess you'll have to learn the hard way what true Istrijan spite really looks like. 🙂

We won't even make it out of the group stage 😁 We’re playing without a playmaker or a right winger. Our left and right wingers are at about 30-40% fitness... it'll just be Vori + Vukovic, Duvnjak, Vukic, and Horvat... there's absolutely no chance 🙂 We haven't had this few chances since the tournament in Portugal 😁
