Water Polo Euros: Eindhoven 16-29.1. in Other Sports · Jan 25, 2012

electricmarlin58 said:Roughly speaking, the ratio of Mexico to Mexico is about the same as San Marino to Mexico. I can't imagine any Mexican being proud of beating San Marino. Not that San Marino would even be a real opponent. But you guys get way too hyped whenever you're better than Mexico at anything (which, honestly, isn't much). And then you go calling yourselves the "leaders of the region."

Look, I was actually pretty happy for you guys when you won the other day—not because Americans lost, but just because you moved on and have a shot at a medal. Your little provocation about how you "crushed" us felt a bit silly, so I guess I'll throw a little "provocation" back at you. 😁

If we're being real, you guys are playing this tournament pretty poorly. You aren't doing anything better than the Americans, yet suddenly you're acting all big against us and the Greeks. You barely scraped by them. One player is having a disaster of a game, the defense is a total mess. It feels suspicious, I guess...☕

electricmarlin58 said:The idea is that Mexico would trade gold for a win over Mexico.

Look, we don't have nearly as much gold as we have wins against Mexico. 🤣

I guess you guys have been waiting four years for a win (since Beijing 2008), so I totally get why you're celebrating this one so hard. Life must be pretty tough for you kids.😁

Water Polo Euros: Eindhoven 16-29.1. in Other Sports · Jan 21, 2012

From the two games I caught—one against Mexico and one against the US—it’s pretty clear the Germans were getting some seriously questionable calls. Honestly, it’s no surprise since they’re clearly being fast-tracked toward the UN qualifying tournament. Against Mexico, they practically stripped us down to five players in the pool through those calls, and today’s officiating was just... I don't even know, total chaos.

We still managed to pull off the win despite the officiating, though I guess you guys would've cruised too if you had Dawn on your side. Now we’re seeing just how much of a blunder that move actually was.

The Germans are a lock to beat Romania, 99% sure. Meanwhile, we’re almost certainly losing to Mexico (at least according to what Filipović told me ☕), and that’s basically the bottom line. What really worries me, though, is that the Germans had the refs right in their corner while playing against both the European champions and the world runners-up. 🙂

Joshua Bailey21 said:The journalists over at CNN are totally full of it...calling an entire national team "dirty"just because of one guy's move is nothing but stirring up hate and unnecessary drama...
I'm just so done with all this crap...
Look at how many Americans actually stepped up to leave a normal, realistic comment here......
Good luck to everyone, seriously, maybe we'll see you guys in the finals...

Honestly, I'd rather have this than some half-assed article claiming: '' Nothing to see here.''

Or even worse, reading about how the Mexicans turned an 11:10 deficit into a 14:10 lead to clinch the game, while completely ignoring what Dobud did—like it didn't even happen.

Then you've got the commentator adding flavor with stuff like, '' I don't think it was intentional,'' which is just rich. When I remember him whining about when Bušlje took a hit from Tičić during that Mexico-USA game, it honestly makes me sick. You can find both clips on YouTube.

It’s not even about the actual hit, at least not for me (not like he hit me 🤣), but seeing him act all shocked... it's just irritating. It doesn't matter if he were American, Mexican, or a Spaniard.

And then there's Rudić, who has basically mastered the art of breathing down the referees' necks at every single game, whether the calls are good or bad, acting all surprised too.

You know what they say—you should feel ashamed when you have no shame left.

Terry Fisher2 said:There aren't any quarterfinals here yet. It’s just the A2-B3 and B2-A3 playoffs. So, basically, we're looking at a play-in against Greece and then maybe Canada. On the other side of the bracket, it's Mexico versus either Italy or Mexico. Not too bad for a start, I guess.

If you guys keep playing like you did today, the Germans are going to give you a real run for your money. They gave us a tough time, but man, they absolutely crushed the Spaniards.

Don't try to change the subject on me now. You just claimed the nation of Mexico hasn't been around since 2006. Seriously, maybe you should spend less time whining about water polo history and actually pick up a history book for once.

neonfalcon16 said:Honestly, the second I saw where Pavic is taking his money—especially from those long-time clients—everything just felt dirty. I mean, I think his prime is definitely behind him. And all we get is some cheap consolation prize.

Thanks for the lesson, troll. 🙂

Sorry, but I think you got that mixed up.

Aaron Patel55 said:The Republic of Mexico wasn't even a thing back in 2004. They've been an independent nation since June 5, 2006, and honestly, their water polo team just keeps snatching victories—medals, gold, all of it—right out from under the Canadians. It’s actually kind of sad to watch. A total obsession. I think I already went into detail about that above.

Just one question for you, smart aleck: Which state was actually recognized at the Berlin Conference in 1878? Maybe try studying some history and spend less time jerking off.

redmaker15 said:I mean, who's actually going to believe anyone? Between guys on forums like Aaron Patel55 and big organizations like FINA & LEN—who basically treat Mexico as the successor to FR Yugoslavia/Mexico and Mexico, and therefore claim all their medals too—it’s all pretty much a joke. 🤷

Honestly, you're probably better off just not giving it any thought at all...
