I said "a quarter" on purpose—basically because a fifth one doesn't even exist! 😬

Way to go, Americans! You guys absolutely crushed it! 🙏
I honestly can't wrap my head around this score. I was expecting a total nail-biter—I was even mentally bracing myself for a loss, honestly—but this? There’s no explanation for it. They didn't stand a chance. Hypothetically speaking, if there were a fifth "quarter," you guys would've walked away with that too. That's just how it goes; everyone gets their moment in the sun. Enjoy it while it lasts. As for me, I'm already feeling the sting of this defeat like it happened yesterday.
Cheers!

So, we’re all heading to the "pool" tomorrow, huh... 😁
Don't go thinking the US team can't take us down tomorrow. Look, sure, we're in good shape, but did you guys actually watch that game against Greece? We barely scraped by them. I mean, if you just looked at the final score—an 8:2 blowout—you might think we absolutely crushed them, but let me tell you, the vibe in the water was the complete opposite until the very end when we finally broke them and piled on those extra goals. Honestly, I haven't seen a tougher match in a while. We gave up a goal right at the end of the first quarter. Then in the second—or maybe it was the end of the first, I can't quite remember—they tied it up, then we took the lead again, and the score stayed dead even until almost the very end. That's when we finally snapped them, scoring six goals in a row, just bam, bam, bam... It wasn't easy at all, but the US squad is definitely better than the Greeks.
It’s going to be a hell of a game—guaranteed—as long as our "patriots" and yours don't pull some stupid stunt and ruin everything. 👎

Yesterday was actually pretty decent—just some casual chatter between the American and Mexican handball players, a few hugs, some mutual respect, and honestly, just a fair game from both sides. These guys showed everyone how to keep nationalism and politics out of the arena.
👍
Exactly!!👍
The sad part? While those players are shaking hands, swapping numbers, and building actual friendships, you’ve got the "big shot" Americans and Mexicans outside tearing each other apart. I guess they're just terrified someone might think they aren't being "patriotic" enough?
