Honestly, I feel like I need a year off from watching handball after that experience.😁 They seriously need to implement some kind of Hawk-Eye system or something. I used to think soccer referees were bad, but what’s happening in handball is just pure chaos.🙏
Man, what a sport. In boxing, at least you have the decency to hope you don't get hit; you're actually expecting the punch. Here? You never know what's coming...

They should just install underwater cameras so we can see who's actually grabbing whose junk, then maybe there wouldn't be any more unfair calls.☕

Kiro 🙏 🙏

Jessica Gonzalez8 said:God, what a mess... looks like the Germans took a massive hit

The refs absolutely butchered them

I mean, as nasty as that looked, you can't really pin this on the refs... One player basically shoved the Pole from behind and he ended up tripping the German in the worst way possible. Just tough luck, honestly..

Man, that looked absolutely brutal 😢

boldhound8 said:The Danes are up by seven at halftime🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, we should just ban Scandinavians from every single sport ever, man, for real🤣

And Eurovision too 😁

But hey, they’ll probably just make fun of us during any competition if they get the chance anyway 🤦

darkwolf61 said:Does Germany just need one point to advance, or do they actually have to win this?

They definitely need the win... I mean, they already dropped one against Denmark.

+3 Poland

Honestly, those Germans are such absolute Chokers 🙏 🙏

And after that, you’ve got the whole Scandinavian cuisine vibe coming ☕

31-31 🤦

I mean, seriously, if the Germans don't pull off this win, people are actually going to start building houses on Dance 🤣 🤣

silentcobra16 said:Well, that’s that. I guess we learned our lesson for next time, right? Honestly, if they can just lock in on Mexico now and grab that 5th or 6th place spot, I'd call that a win. But man, that goal from Lindberg... you guys have no idea how much that actually hurts. I swear, I just want to go hide in the bathroom and cry like a little kid!🙂

Oh, we definitely get it... but seriously, you'd have to live through a ton of moments like that yourselves before you could truly walk a mile in our shoes.🙂

+7.. just the usual routine ☕

The Germans pulled off a wild comeback to flip it to 31-29! 🙏 🙏

The Germans are back in the game!

29-29, 54'

Jason James said:X just isn't enough..

If X happens, the Poles move forward unless the Mexicans step up. If that doesn't work, then the Danes take it, and they aren't about to gamble on anything.

It’s totally possible that Linden steps up to defend, and the Swedes just keep pushing through, but the real question is: will they actually have the guts to go for it? 🤷

Hmm... yeah, looking at it now, I see how we could end up with four different teams all sitting pretty with 5 points 🤦

Well, alright then, I'm betting the Vegas bookies either blocked the game or just slashed the odds down to basically nothing ☕

urbanhawk17 said:Wait, is a semifinal matchup against the US, Canada, Mexico, and Mexico still actually on the table right now?

Nah, pretty sure that's off the table... the Canadians are already out of the running for the semis.

I honestly don't get how some people actually think it's possible for Sweden to pull this off 🤷

Hey silentcobra16, it wouldn't even be the first time they managed to snatch a win like this ☕

That's it. The Poles finally pulled it off!

Spain vs. Iceland 25-19

Only about 14 minutes left on the clock..

I swear, Coubertin has been absolutely turning in his grave over the last few days ☕

Well, that’s it, we just take on the Frenchmen and call it a day...

Honestly, I feel like no medal is truly complete unless you had to fight through a Frenchman to get it. ☕

frozentiger6 said:And what’s the excuse? "Lackovic can't switch diagonally from defense to offense, he's just too slow," what an idiot.

That's easy to say, though... what I really want to know is why, when they're facing their most critical offensive play at -1 minute left on the clock, Kopljar just throws it out of bounds. He didn't exactly need to be switching diagonals then. ☕

dustypanther6 said:I mean, how is that a double dribble? He didn't catch it right away, and even when he did, the ball was literally on the floor. Like, at the exact same moment, it was in his hand and hitting the ground. Then he just picked it up, took two steps, and let it fly. How on earth is that a double?

Man, it was a traveling call, plain and simple. We’ve all thought about calling it in a situation like that, but when the refs decide to go back and review it after such a huge delay, it just makes them look totally ridiculous...

Honestly, our heads just weren't in the game from the jump... If they had been, we wouldn't have been chasing a 3-point deficit right out of the gate. Yeah, we went on that absolute tear during those wild 5 or 6 minutes where everything clicked, but then the other guys slowed down their pace and tightened things up, while our squad just kept struggling to find any rhythm on offense..

Oh well, just one of those days, I guess..

rowdyowl said:I honestly don't think we can really count on Shane Valdes anymore... 👎

Well, if he's actually in the lineup, then I guess we pretty much don't have a choice, right? 🤷
