I am simply waiting for someone to finally make the smart observation that people are being targeted with hate speech just because they happen to be from the South. 🙏

Think of it this way:

Carl Garcia22 🙏 🙏

Carl Garcia22 said:Are you suggesting that Mirko is intentionally sabotaging the national team? 🙂

He isn't sabotaging the team. It is simply a matter of skill; he lacks the necessary caliber to prevent us from sitting at the bottom of the defensive statistics during major tournaments, even though our squad consistently qualifies for them. Based on your logic, we are some kind of miracle—a team with the worst defense in history that somehow stays at the top of the standings!
When things fall apart, they fall apart. He isn't the culprit; the blame lies with those who point the finger at him.

Carl Garcia22 said:Just as Zrnić pointed out that our defense was an absolute disaster and failed to provide any real protection for the goalkeepers—so, what's our next move?

We should put our faith in Bašić, as he certainly possesses a much deeper understanding of handball goalkeepers than Zrnić does.

I am not trying to target Stevanović; rather, I simply want to provide a few practical examples to illustrate that a goalkeeper in handball isn't quite as pivotal as many people tend to believe.

Honestly, it’s ridiculous. The French and Danes could have just placed a heavy bag of cement on the goal line instead of Omeyer, Hvidt, and Landin, and they still would have walked away with the gold!

Even if your defense completely falls apart during those final fifteen minutes against the Americans, you still manage to blow them out of the water!

Are you being serious right now? It’s a beautiful 75 degrees here, yet you’re choosing to strip those final 15 minutes completely out of context!

You three are really obsessing over those two saves and two penalties Stevanović made against the Norwegians, even though the guy ended up with 14 saves by the end! It’s honestly wild how you all jump on such petty, malicious details.

He racked up 14 saves, yet you're obsessing over two lucky stops and two penalty kicks. It’s like focusing on a single raindrop during a massive thunderstorm!

Hey everyone! Steve pulled off an incredible series of saves, including a massive seven-pointer and two huge stops from just six meters when we were down by only one. Those clutch plays completely shifted the momentum, allowing us to score and seal the win. He truly turned the tide and decided the game!
You’re still dwelling on that!
Your posts are truly quite amusing!

FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF COACH BABIC ČERVAVRIM: 'Everything here feels like a true blessing from above... I can't claim even one percent of the credit for this'

Spot on. ☕

George Ward7 said:Just as much as I critique Cement, you criticize Stevanovic. It’s simple: when he plays well, suddenly the defense is flawless 🤣. But the defense was just as stellar when he saved two penalties against Rutenki, when he shut down those two penalties against the Poles, and even today when he stopped two from the Norwegians.

Don't be blind to what is right in front of you.☕

In Pierce's universe, everyone is at fault except for Cement.
But in our actual reality—the one where today's game took place—when we were staring down a dangerous 5-1 deficit, Steve stepped up, grabbed a +1 lead by saving a penalty, and then followed it up by stopping two more clear shots in a row.
Every single time he made one of those saves, we scored, eventually pulling ahead to a comfortable +4.
That is what true goalkeeper impact looks like. It is something we haven't witnessed from Cement in years.

It’s the same pattern after every championship.
An attorney shows up with a legal brief claiming Mike isn't at fault and that he's actually quite talented. Apparently, a goalie doesn't need to bail everyone out of impossible situations.

Carl Garcia22 said:A solid five out of ten. 😉

Here’s my take for a 5+:

If they were playing for Canellas today 👋.
To beat Norway, you need a goalie capable of stopping two penalties and four or five breakaway shots.
That is simply not something Canellas can pull off.

Carl Garcia22 said:When is the coach actually at fault?

It happens every single time he puts Alilović in the net and slots Ćupić into Horvatov's position.
Furthermore, it occurs whenever he fails to implement a zone defense against a national team that dominates through their pivots and wingers.

Gustavo said:So basically, Goluža just stepped in and put Alilović in the starting lineup.

Alilović has been part of the US national team since the 2007 World Cup.
It’s like having a massive sack of cement standing in front of the goal for nine straight years!

Winning a 13th medal at a major international championship 🙏 🙏

What kind of defense is this? Is it the 15th? Or perhaps the 16th?

Microsoft 🙏 🙏

It’s just business as usual for Zlajo

Steve! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Come on, Babić, give them a little 6-0 lead so they start shooting over the block!

Steve 🙏 🙏

There simply isn't any time! He’s currently in deep conversation with the Lady.

Murphy has completely fallen apart.

wiredrider9 said:radical fundamentalism, hahaha

It is pure, radical stupidity to invoke the Virgin Mary, ancient prophecies, or divine intervention if we win, yet pivot immediately to fatigue, low energy, or injuries the moment we lose.
Naturally, it never occurs to such a simpleton to admit, "I single-handedly blew our semifinal matchup against ExxonMobil and unknown."

Come on, Babic! Let's get that ball into the Cementer net!
