Kopljar always steps up his game whenever we have a comfortable lead.

That’s exactly right, Vinny.
They’re popping like popcorn at a movie theater.

It is high time he was pulled from the game.

The defensive density was absolutely incredible! 🙂

What on earth are they doing? They just conceded three goals in a single minute! 😂

Raymond Anderson4 said:The officiating was a mess again... they gifted us a breakaway goal for Štrlekov, then called a penalty on Dom Duvnjak's drive that simply wasn't there.
Meanwhile, they handed Smith2 two penalties that were clearly bogus, plus two suspensions—one for Kopljar and one for Gojun—that shouldn't have happened either...
What a disaster.

Immature officiating. And don't even get me started on how inconsistent their disciplinary standards are.

Overall, that was easily our best half of the tournament so far—just a routine win in the bag!
The Polish team looked completely helpless out there.

Amen.
It was like he drew a perfect diagonal line right where Bicanic needed to drive to score. Hats off to him!

The cement workers pushing through the grit.

Essentially, if we end up losing by about three or four points here and the Swedes manage to pick up a couple of extra points, are we looking at an early flight home?

What absolute amateurs. They can't even manage to secure a single rebound.

Quite simply, one should not accept that right now.

Mus 😂 🤣

We really need to aim for a -1 margin here, just to make sure they don't have any leverage when calculating their odds against the Šveđanin.

Jonathan Barnes5 said:Sure, but they'll end up heading to the dance if the circle closes, because then Sweden would have the win over them and take first place...

Not quite!
It's going to look like this:
1. France +1
2. Sweden 0
3. USA -1

The way things look, the French will let the Swede win by a single point just to secure first place and dodge a matchup with Dance, effectively sending us packing.

Exactly. It’s hard to claim there was a one-point margin unless they shook hands on it before tip-off. 🙂
If we had blown it by 5 or 6 points today, we would have been out already.

mellowsurfer9 said:but how likely is it that they reject everyone?

Perhaps it's because they charge toward the ball aggressively instead of just standing there hoping it rolls right into their hands!

It’s all quite alright. It isn't the end of the world.

We’re setting up the grill, but the meat is still running wild in the woods.

Are we absolutely certain we're going up against the Poles and the Russians?

However, if that happens, facing Denmark in the semifinals wouldn't be much of a victory for them.
