Even Bronca still has that certain spark 😬

In any case... I'll take what I can get 🙏

Dammit, they're going to kill off Charlie Chaplin😢...seriously, these guys aren't playing around anymore🤷

Jerry Myers19 said:Just leave the guy alone. Yesterday people were claiming he’d lock in after two misses, so what if he’s missed three so far? He’ll find his rhythm eventually 🙂

Well, there would be some order to things then ☕

Usually, when he misses twice in a row, he just stops shooting altogether... though I doubt that’s happening today

Ashley Carter95 said:Good grief, Kopljar... 🤦 is he even watching the goalie?

He’s looking right at him. 😂

Honestly, nothing about yesterday was surprising... everyone’s just in shock... there’s no one ready to step up and fill those gaps, and we were talking about a semifinal, after all.

Dammit, we picked the hard road... brilliant move on our part... 🙄
Nobody even remembers why we ended up here or who let this happen in the first place...

And just like that.... it's started

The start wasn't exactly stellar, though I have a feeling things might actually click today...
Let's just sit here and watch it unfold

Some moments were just painfully obvious 🤣

For crying out loud... look at the language being used here 🤦

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... but this kind of verbal abuse is 🙄😲

You can make your point without resorting to being a complete jerk or using those kinds of insults ☕

The point is we had the chance to rest our starters today. We could have entered the second round completely fresh because matches against Australia and Algeria were basically just scrimmages, and the games against Egypt and Canada weren't even physical. Instead, we lost Štrlek, Lacković is out indefinitely, there are rumors about Kopljar, and Balić is stuck in the stands. Now we’re looking at one Lovro Šprem starting in the lineup. Credit to him, sure, but against France? He's not enough... If we had sat them out, we would've kept our strength and kept Štrlek healthy for an easier schedule. Common sense should prevail.

I'm with 👍

Ashley Carter95 said:We didn't, but we should have tried to protect our core lineup while we still could. If we even manage to make it to the game against the French, we won't have enough gas left to finish a single half...

Exactly that 😉

I have to admit, this Cop is starting to genuinely surprise me more and more
The first time I saw him in New York City, I was talking trash because he didn't seem to have the guts to pull the trigger, even though he's got the build and the reach to handle whatever comes his way

Maybe he’ll finally grow some backbone after all... 🤷
You really ought to see him when he isn't just playing games on the other side

But no... Goluža isn't interested in playing games or overthinking things. Our guy 🤦

To hell with the Spaniards... they're stuck in the semifinals ☕

From a purely sporting perspective, I love that we didn't play it safe, but damn, everything has become such a mess lately that you just end up looking like an idiot

My plan was simple: play the first half the way it should be played to see where we actually stand, then immediately swap in a second lineup for the second half and go full throttle... but Goluža is our pride and joy
He’s just waiting for the Frenchmen to face his second string... it wouldn't be the first time either 🙄

And here I was thinking we were waiting on the French to bring out the 52-man roster 😛 😬

🤣
