McAuliffe said:Handball has turned into such a positional game lately... especially on defense... it’s nothing like how it used to be... If we didn't have John, there would be even less excitement in the game!
Honestly, there wasn't much excitement in today's game either. Just endless short passes and an even higher number of turnovers. If anyone caught the game on TV, they probably saw just how many times our guys lost the ball—the numbers were pretty staggering.
paranoid said:I don't get this poll. These "super important" surveys are always just meant for debating trash movies and bad acting, whereas Cusack and Norton are both seriously talented actors🙂
By the way, I voted for Norton.
The main thing is that these "major" polls stay alive🙂 even though we're all too lazy to actually keep them going.🙂
They absolutely pushed my buttons 🤣 at 15:16 during that chaotic offensive against the Greeks 😠
Man, the way Dominikovic was copying that Greek player—I honestly thought he was going to take him out 🤣
Anyway, what a joke. We wasted so many shots just to scrape a win against Greece. Based on what I saw and what I know (which isn't much 😕), they’re basically playing in the third or fourth tier of handball . Zrnic was incredible, but I can't say I'm surprised; I expected big things from the Bundesliga's 9th top scorer. Valcic was alright. Duvnjak seemed a bit lost, but okay. Vukovic was especially on fire today... maybe he just had one of those perfect days? 😕 And Dominikovic was putting on a total show 😁. Balic looked completely indifferent, though he was clearly struggling to keep his cool 😠 😁. So yeah, that's how it went. A fun night at Madison Square Garden, and we've got another one against Canada tomorrow . Edit: Oh, and I don't know if anyone else caught this, but at one point our positioning was all messed up. We had Zrnic playing, Kaleb at right back 😕, and Pero at right wing—I don't even need to tell you how disastrous that attack turned out 🤣
Hey, give us some more details. Is he definitely out with that injury? How much of a blow is that for the Americans? I know Balázs Laluska from Ademar León is a solid player. Mocsai is looking great playing in the German league, though I'm not quite so sure about Nagy. Come on, you guys are 😁 in our bracket!
I've been looking over Jeppesen's stats in the league this season—17 goals in 10 games... honestly such a shame, though I won't dwell on it too much. The US is just a toss-up in our division 👍 and we'll probably end up facing those boring types like Boldsen, Stryger, Christiansen, and the rest 😁
Whoo! You're going to get an exclusive look at the America-Canada Cup 👋 👋

Dammit. I honestly can't recall a single decent game from the national team back in the day... whenever we actually stayed in it, it was usually thanks to Šola pulling us through in goal. It wasn't Jerkovica or Alilovica.
edit: Does anyone happen to know the exact roster size each national team takes to the World Cup?
It’s high time we take a look back at our incredibly tough draw:
Group D:
Spain Egypt Czech Republic Qatar
Group E:
Denmark Norway Canada Angola
Group F:
USA Russia South Korea Morocco
So, if we wrap up Group F in one of those top two spots, we'll be heading into a quarterfinal bracket that would probably look something like this: us, Russia, Denmark, Canada, Spain, and the Czech Republic.
And honestly, I am not exactly thrilled about this Yoon guy scoring 18 goals against Germany in a single game.
So, I guess you aren't allowed to talk to J. Valčić unless Slavko Goluza is there to supervise? And apparently, any chat with him has to be kept under 10 minutes? You can't even ask about the past? Plus, you have to give 24 hours' notice just to have a conversation?
What kind of absolute nonsense is this being reported in the news? 🤣
