Finishing in third place while driving the second-fastest car on the grid—now that is pure skill.🙏

Look, regardless of what those amateurish, small-time pundits over at NBC might be rambling about, we aren't just playing by our own rules anymore. We’ve essentially handed control over; now, we could easily lose to the Russians or the Poles by ten points and still face elimination. Moreover, I’m pretty convinced the Swedes and the French will find it relatively easy to rig things in their favor.
Beyond that, it's pretty obvious that this loss kills any hope of us grabbing anything better than a bronze medal. Even if we somehow grind our way into the semifinals, we'd be facing an exhausted, hyper-motivated squad of Danes playing on home turf.
If you can't see that this defeat has practically knocked us out of this WC, you probably need to go grab a pair of glasses.
The Danes just showed their hand with some questionable officiating and blatant bias; it’s clear they’re trying to clear a path for themselves by keeping us out of the semifinals, clearly viewing the French as a much tougher threat.
Well, let them have it then.
From here on out, we take it slow in the second half. Let's rotate the roster a bit, make sure we don't lose by more than five or six points, grind out a win in the next game, rest up during the third, and then get ready for Dance.
That's when we'll show them who's really in charge. ☕
