That was just from 30 feet away, which is exactly what we need... honestly, nobody is going to show up for us unless maybe someone like a big-name pro shows interest. 🤣
Rocas might actually be their most vital player; after Jones ( 😁 ), he’s easily the best right winger on the planet... those other wingers they have just aren't elite. Garralda is still playing 😁, and honestly, he won't get much out of him—he's basically an old man 😁. I've never been a fan of their pivots either; Garabay is a total pushover, and Urios only finds space when our defense is busy swimming laps with 25 dolphins instead of focusing on that grizzly bear. This isn't some dream team. If anyone deserves that title, it's us 🙂
Honestly, the goalkeeper isn't even the main issue here... if the defense is a mess, having two great goalies won't save us. But if the defense is solid, our goalie could have five saves a game and we'd still walk away with a convincing win every single time.🙂
Man, Valcic Spanjolac, Vukas, Duvnjak, Zrnic, Sullivan, and Vukic... finally, we actually have some decent depth on the bench!😁 Let's go get that gold!👋

Because while watching it, I realized that no movie could possibly be quite that bad! No matter what films I watch, even the absolute worst ones, I can always say: at least they didn't annoy and irritate me like that damn RFAD. Juice by Tappy👋
Like I mentioned in that other thread, this movie really needs an ending where everyone gets shot in the back. 🙂 Then it would be absolutely perfect! 😁
Gerald Rivera17 said:Wait, what? You'd actually reduce the number of players in the wall?
Just look at our National Team. If we let someone like Christian McCaffrey take free kicks, we’d be fine just by keeping an eye on the defenders and our two strikers. Having someone like Sauce Gardner standing alone at the edge of the box doesn't help anyone much anyway.😁
If I were the head coach, I’d give it a shot—why not?🙂 If it works, great! If not, whatever, we missed a few practices, it’s not the end of the world.🙂
no idea said:Every single extra touch just increases the odds of you messing up, giving the opponent a turnover, and getting caught on the fast break...
True. You could definitely drill that perfectly with a solid squad, and it would be pretty effective. It really just comes down to how much time you're willing to spend practicing it versus if it’s actually worth the effort...
You could drill that until it's perfect, and it would only need to work once because every subsequent team would already be prepared for it.🙂
We always see this exact same kind of interview right before every tournament, and yet nothing ever changes. It would be great if we actually had a legitimate backup for Lackovic, but I’m not holding my breath 😉
Just imagine. Let's say Tony Valcic comes back, Duvnjak steps up to cover Balic, we've got the goalies sorted, the wings and subs are set... if we just had a real replacement for Perkovic, we could walk off the plane and grab the gold medal immediately 🙂
Joe Tortura said:Vukic played great today but he was pretty rough yesterday. Though, you have to admit most of his goals came from fast breaks rather than set plays. Either way, it's good news. He isn't Chavar, but he's certainly holding his own against Kaleb.
Fast breaks or not, Vukic is sitting at 15 goals right now—that puts him as our third-leading scorer in this tournament after Dzomba and Voria. I really hope Lino stops playing favorites with guys like Pongracic or Horvat on the other side. Zrnic proved today that he’s basically a handball professor compared to them.
