I broke them down below...

The classic version where they lose their footing and bounce it twice...

The one where they hit the floor with both the ball and their hand—essentially tripping—so the ball hits the ground first, then they take a few steps and strike it again...

Third is when they carry it with one hand, essentially palming it instead of bouncing it, then resetting the dribble... that’s also a violation.

Fourth is the famous "basketball carry," where they rotate their palm underneath the ball while moving.

Fifth is when they bounce it too hard and it flies above shoulder height.

Basically, there are plenty of ways a player can mess this up.

I just thought the call was tricky because it's hard to tell if he caught her during the fall or just brushed against her. 🤷 But you could tell immediately by how the Americans reacted; they just let him go, clearly expecting the whistle.

dustypanther6 said:What double dribble? He didn't catch it immediately, and when he did, the ball was literally on the floor. It was in his hand and hitting the ground at the exact same time. Then he picked it up, took two steps, and shot. How is that a double?

If memory serves, he didn't just take two steps; he bounced the ball once first and then took two steps. That’s why the Spanish defenders let him slide—they were waiting for the ref to call the double.

I won't get bogged down in the technicalities of whether the hand-to-floor contact counts as a travel. 😕

Spearman😲 I thought I was hallucinating.🤣

We look pretty sharp tonight.

A mandarin picker from Memphis...☕

A farmer from Omaha ☕

Does anyone else remember that stroke of genius from Ketine back in 2011 during the game against the Danes? He pulled Laco and Balić right off the floor after just two missed shots, basically telling the coach, "What, was I supposed to just sit there and wait for them?" 🤣 Everything seems backward now. They’re pulling Laco out for reasons known only to him, yet they're leaving Balić in place despite it clearly not being his day. Someone really should have spotted that and handled it differently. 🤣

My God, what an absolute space cadet. You don't exactly run into that kind of idiocy every day. 🙏 He dropped the ball today.

And really, what exactly did Duvnjak do better than Balić today? Both of them were completely useless, honestly. Let's just move on. Thank goodness I don't have to watch the game against the Frenchmen. 😬

I won't be indifferent about this. 😢 I still need to test it on my laptop; perhaps it’ll behave there. 🙂

Thanks for the effort. 🙂

The guy is stubborn. 🙂Could it be because I'm running without an adblocker? 🤔

I find it just as aggressive. Sure, it’s an improvement over the one that used to obscure the screen until it timed out, but let's not get carried away. 😢

Same thing happening to me over on Opera.

And honestly, this is the part that gets to me most. 🙂 It turns out that no matter what we build here, we'll still be stuck in this loop—which is exactly why they keep pulling these stunts.

Man, this is just unreal 😱

Justin Collins said:Could we at least ditch this ad? A clean white screen would be better.

The ad is the whole point, really.🙏

I’m not on board with this. To me, the current layout from other sites works just fine; all that visual clutter from oversized images is an eyesore, and besides, the server is already struggling enough as it is...

And leave the archive alone. 🙂

Was that a drop-down menu? 🤷

Thanks, 🙂

Now, I’d love for some kind soul to explain exactly what this entails, how it actually works, and why it completely slipped my radar after all these years hanging out on the forums.🙏

Much appreciated. 😍 This means a lot to us. 🙈

I’m adding my voice to the request. 😍

Every single day, there's a flood of links to various streaming sites, most of which are broken or just plain unreliable. It's been frustratingly inconsistent; while ESPN occasionally delivers a decent picture, FOX has shut down its access entirely, and trying to find a reliable stream for Univision online feels like playing the lottery.

Please, give us the 🙂 🙂 🙂 we need.

Anthony Barrett37 said:The black and white look exists because colors break the site's layout. It’s the same issue as using color or bold in signatures.

🤣

Fine, let them revert signatures to size 1 font then. Presumably, that takes up less space than this oversized, ugly mess.

It looks pretty dreary. A bit too much of a social welfare vibe. 😢

Give us some sunshine 🙂.

It’s redundant, especially given the constant server instability we’ve been dealing with since my early days here. 😍

Forum users tend to toss out upvotes or downvotes like they’re nothing, without any real weight behind them. You could have someone present a reasoned, calm argument without picking a fight, yet still get buried in negative ratings just because people disagree. I don't see the utility in it. If you see someone with low reputation, what happens—do you just skip their posts entirely? 😕

Seriously? You're being incredibly thick-headed here. 🙂

That is precisely the issue. 🤮 He and the boss will just keep pretending we aren't failing; this guy isn't ever going to change. 🤮
