My bad for everything I lashed out about today! 🙂
That was way better than expected—huge props to the guys, now let's bring it home!
The Spaniards were swapping players constantly against Brazil early on, trying way too hard to play it safe—it almost blew up in their faces. Once they finally fielded their strongest lineup in the second half, they barely escaped with their lives.
Yeah, we look pretty pathetic transitioning from offense to defense, especially when we’re playing with some "invisible 7th man" on the field—we need to pick up the pace, period. And don't even get me started on the counterattacks; it's a disaster. Fast breaks used to be our bread and butter, but now? Gone. If I remember right, against Egypt, four of our first five goals came off counters or transition plays, and after that? Dead silence. Not a single one in the entire second half.
They were pushing the tempo and running those fast breaks during the pre-season scrimmages, so I actually thought we’d see that energy in the tournament. Clearly, I was wrong.
I’ll jump in here too. Honestly? I think we’re gonna have a hell of a time against Spain. The Germans were basically handing us goals from the pivot position—so if they could do that, I’m terrified of what Aguinagalde is gonna do to us. Our defense isn't even the main issue; it's the offense. We’re absolute trash up front—zero flow, terrible picks, and when the pivots try to power through, they're throwing impossible passes. The wings are practically invisible (well, except for that one play last game where they actually showed up). Stepancic rarely shoots better than 50% anyway, and when Duvnjak or Cindric aren't playing, our left wing doesn't even have the guts to take a shot. Even Mamic was too scared to shoot against Egypt when we had the lead, so imagine how he'll act against the Spaniards.
But hey, we're rooting for them, praying for a miracle—let's go!
France 🙏
Man, I really hope once this generation retires, the French finally stop running the show in handball.
Let them—honestly, I hope the Spaniards never see a podium again ☕
Man, those Spaniards... +4, all those missed opportunities... 😠
Obviously I had the Spaniards as my last couple!
I mean, having handball on at 3pm too? Just my luck 😠 🙂
