Are shorts becoming a common sight too? 😁
Goodness, men. 😁

🤣🤣🤣

Mike, even though I'm a woman, I don't really wear skirts or dresses much, and since I always cycle in pants, I can't say for sure what it feels like to ride in a skirt. To be honest, I've never actually tried it myself. 😬
But, from what I can gather, I suppose there shouldn't be any real issues with pedaling in a skirt. I have a few friends who ride in them quite often, and if you're using a women's frame, it seems like there wouldn't be any problems at all.

Coach Miller spent about half an hour fixating on the budget and how most of the guys on the court are just kids between 18 and 23 years old, nothing more... The only veterans in the mix are Lackovic, Vori, and Balic. Since Lackovic and Vori are playing over in Germany quite successfully, while Balic is right here in Chicago, I guess Balic is a bit more expendable compared to those two. I seem to recall a moment when we gave up a goal, and I think Miller looked at Balic and asked, "What are you even watching?" Maybe he was just checking the replay monitor, but then the head official asks the coach how serious Balic's injury actually is, and the coach just responds that they have a medical staff to handle the players, but all he cares about are the healthy ones who will be traveling with the team to the States... It reminds me of how people used to talk about him when he was injured before—they’d always say he’d play through anything, even if he was half-broken. I suspect they might have written him off this time, though I suppose we’ll find out in the next few days.!!!

signing off on everything

To be honest, I feel like it might have been time to bench Balic; he’s been dragging himself across the court lately like a tired fish, and in my opinion, he’s been living off his past glory for a long, long time now. It’s probably good to have him on the bench as a veteran presence, but I really hope they don't put him in the game too much.
Given how well Horvat, Laca, Cupic, Strlek, and Vori are performing, I guess there isn't really room for him on the Euro tournament roster. We actually seemed a bit more energetic and fast during these last two games without him.
Strlek, Horvat, Laca, and Cupic are all playing great... 👍 Vori is also looking strong alongside Duvnjak, though I suppose Duvnjak could probably focus a little more as well.

The main thing is to play less Buntic and Kopljar; they've been terrible.
Especially Kopljar. Everything has been said there; it’s such a shame given his height. 😬
Gojun seems a bit overrated and perhaps a little too distracted as well.

Alilovic is defending very well; he has made huge strides in his form compared to last year. He isn't the liability he used to be.

If Kopljar stays on the bench, I guess we might have a chance at at least a bronze medal. 😁
This year, Cupic and Zlatkec are healthy and playing incredibly well; they are small, quick, and agile, which I think gives us an extra advantage.
