Germany is out 😲
I feel you, totally agree. It’s just hard not to get worked up when our star coach actually knows how to make a point 😬
Walter Hughes53 said:The real issue with this squad isn't the wings or the outside shooters—it's that the coach has zero clue about anything outside of handball. We should’ve cut a deal with some local Texas ranchers to ship in nothing but prime brisket before the game to get the boys battle-ready, then hit them with some slow-smoked lamb as a reward... I mean, how can anything go wrong with that? Get some Texas BBQ to sponsor our national team and suddenly we've got a massive business venture on our hands—plus the guys actually eat well and the local economy gets a boost. From basic cabbage to high-end cowboy BBQ...
How are they supposed to win if Babić is the only one calling on the Lady to help? That needs to be a team effort! Right now, she’s only helping him by sending him a divine seventh player, while everyone else dying out there on the court? She clearly doesn't give a damn about them.
feralnomad5 said:Ned—I just stumbled onto a thread where someone’s actually blaming the refs for screwing us over!!??? Is that even possible? What is wrong with people?! They call a non-existent penalty at the end of the game and now some idiot is out here trying to claim we were cheated... absolutely insane!!!
Look, half the guys online have been listing officiating errors the entire game. They screwed both sides today. The refs were clearly feeling "inspired" with those calls... what a joke. 😬

Nah, he wouldn't be right even if Horvat hit the mark. His statement has absolutely nothing to do with what was actually realistic to expect—or what we all just sat through watching tonight.
That’s fine by me. Just need a little bit of luck and we’re golden. Really just hoping they don't stall out on us again like they did in the first half...

Total Damage, honestly—they don't have better players, and their play isn't even better than this half-baked mess we're seeing...
Just because you're sitting there watching from your couch doesn't mean they aren't playing better. They are. And if something doesn't change, they're gonna absolutely wreck us. Anything that happened after the 13th minute just completely knocked us out of rhythm, while they started bullying us without mercy. Something needs to change ASAP or we're gonna get slaughtered like we're facing the Canadians.
Thirteen minutes of Norwegians playing on pure adrenaline, and then they just absolutely tore us apart—up 10-5 by halftime. They’re incredible; easily the best handball team in this tournament. Honestly, I saw it coming. I was hoping we’d show some life, maybe actually put a decent offense together... but nope. We're barely hanging on for dear life. They look like a high-speed Ferrari on offense, while we're out here looking like a rusty old Mack truck.
