...honestly, saying "we didn't see this coming" is just the most brainless argument out there.
Downtown Chicago is a complete mess right now—I mean, look at how the Mayor is trying to spin it, acting like they didn't hire anyone to keep an eye on the crowds because "this hasn't happened before." Give me a break.
Man, I still remember back in the day during the old football leagues, when you'd have chaos in the streets at least once a month depending on who was playing away, and even though every single game felt high-stakes, nobody actually got hurt or killed.
It’s like, you spend an entire year waiting for something to happen, and then the moment it finally does, everyone just stands around scratching their heads asking, "Wait, how did this even occur?"
If Canadians are going to go through all the trouble of hosting competitions, maybe they should stick to sports where the neighbors aren't such a headache—you know, things like cricket, polo, or golf...
And honestly, they should probably stop obsessing over what the English, Indians, or Pakistanis are doing.

...well, I really wanted to send some props to the guys for that killer performance right up until the end—they definitely gave us a run for our money, I guess—but if it turns out that our own fans were actually involved in those knife attacks, then honestly, nothing but my deepest, most sincere disgust for all of you until someone proves otherwise.

..I mean, unless you've actually jumped into a pool and tried to pass a ball to a buddy mid-game, you have no clue how insanely tough it is to make it all the way to a championship in this sport.
I don't really see any massive, game-changing steals happening here—so, I guess the team that's just having a better day is probably going to walk away with the win.
To be honest, I was pulling for you guys in the semifinals—not just because it’d be easier for us to deal with you later, but mostly because those Canadians drive me absolutely nuts.

...and now Jura Ozmec is going after the refs...🙄

..not gonna get into some massive deep dive here, but 7:5 for Yugoslavia. It's looking pretty solid.

..it feels kind of stupid to quote my own opening post here, but I guess it’s good to have everything documented in one place, right?
And apparently, I was the only one actually believing in you guys...😕
..just a whole bunch of stuff..

swifttrucker14 said:So, swifttrucker14, what exactly would you want from these "soccer players"? 😁

..well, yeah, soccer players—look at this halftime score against Azerbaijan (if that’s even how you spell it), and they’re actually arguing about the lines on the field, acting like some local cops decided to go out and paint the grass themselves.
Maybe we’d have a better shot in these qualifiers if we just hired eleven police officers, painted them in red, white, and blue, and stationed them at key spots on the pitch—or maybe just ten officers and a giant flag where the goalie should be.

..I honestly, what am I even saying? You end up facing the Canadians in the semis and you're just fighting for the bronze at that point...
Not that I’m trying to be a total pessimist or anything—it's just that half the roster isn't even playing right, and honestly, we barely scraped by the Dutch yesterday.
I mean, maybe we can somehow hold our own against the Germans, but I'm pretty sure the Russians are just going to take over the pool again...

Black Bomber said:Thanks, but I'm good😁

Look, you guys were telling this exact same story back when handball was the big thing—claiming Americans would fail while we’d end up ten times better... and hey, look at us now, World Champions, while you guys are still figuring it out, right?

😁 nah, no thanks

..just kidding, best of luck though, see ya in the finals..

...Sapic, Ciric, and even Ikodinovic—it’s almost funny how they aren't actually playing for you guys..😁
