- To fill a roster spot.
- So that Duvnjak or Balić can pass him the ball when Lac is covered up.
Did any of you actually see a defender step up against him during these last four games? My grandmother could see the kid lacks the backbone to step up and play aggressively, and there's no way Rivera, Onesta, and the rest of the analysts—who scrutinize every single second of our games—won't notice that.
I won't even bother commenting on the other aspects of his game; he simply doesn't have it. In fact, I think he’s one of the worst players to ever wear the national team jersey...
So how can we blame Balić for the loss when the guy is limited in passing to Lacković because Vori is tied up in an American showdown on the line, while Kopljar chickens out the moment the ball moves his way?
Oh, Metličić Pero... where are you now? 😢😢😢😢
It's obvious to everyone that Kopljar is only here to help the Los Angeles handball club's budget through a potential sale... whoever is running this whole show is playing it far too smart for their own good...
Honestly, I don't care about any losses anymore, because every win and every defeat belongs to the coach...
And now... let's start bashing Balić. We haven't done it in a while, even though he botched a few key passes during those moments when he simply had to take charge because everyone else eventually froze up to avoid blowing the game. It’s pointless to even comment on the idiots who are now tearing him apart just because he had a bad outing... once he's gone, they'll be crying about his poor performances too, because even his bad games are better than the best efforts from 90% of these players...
