Sam Thomas3 said:It’s all accurate. Whether it's Gobić, Mamić, Šuker, or the major political parties, it's all the same mess. They centralized and privatized handball; there is honestly no point in explaining it any further.
However, that doesn't change the fact that these players on the court are doing everything right. Take John Doe, for example—he fights for every single ball, and the rest of the guys follow suit. On top of that, they are incredibly humble and truly respect the support they receive. Not to mention that none of them are acting as a piggy bank for the mafia while money is being laundered, unlike that piece of trash, that sniveling informant and his cronies. You probably even remember that John Doe spent some time on the bench in Washington, D.C., simply because he stood up to Gobac and signed a preliminary contract with Hamburger SV without blinking an eye. He refuses to be anyone's ATM, and I truly tip my hat to him for that integrity.
And let's be clear: I completely understand everyone who has grown sick of this "national team." I'm the first to admit it; even though I truly wanted them to win this and supported them, I feel deep down that this isn't the kind of passionate cheering it ought to be, but that's just how it is.
They all give their lives on the court. I have immense respect for their sacrifice, but it's all for nothing if they consistently lose games like this. Let's not kid ourselves: while our individual talent puts us at the absolute top—two steps above Norway—we are lagging far behind in terms of depth on the bench.
Babić hasn't done anything to turn these players into winners, and it is high time he goes to light a candle in Medjugorje and exits the national team for good.
He plays with two pivots and seven players, yet the team can't manage to set up a single block against shots during the entire tournament? What on earth is the purpose of having two pivots on the line then? Come on, Babić, just pack it up and head back to Belarus already.
