It doesn't really matter what Vujović said... I mean, any coach out there knows that stuff by heart...
Sure, we can try to take inspiration from anyone... but honestly? It just falls apart...
Like, Balić gets subbed out and then Goluža comes in... 😕 ...and our guys just look totally lost. Like flies without heads, man, just constantly bumping into each other...
And even when Balić is playing great, he just loses focus sometimes... you seriously can't build an entire game plan around one guy's IQ...
Our bench is a total disaster... straight up crimi-nal...
frozentiger6 said:The only thing that's true is that Cervar isn't the guy for the head coach job anymore. He leaned way too hard on that starting lineup, and honestly, we've seen all they had to give.
We seriously need some fresh blood, you know? Someone who can actually shake up the tactics... but nope, instead they go and bring in Smajlagica. The whole system needs a total overhaul. And I'm not even saying this just because of this loss, it's just... it's obvious we hit the absolute ceiling here. We can't keep going like this. You can see it in Metlicic—the guys are just spent, totally burned out, it's done.
It's time to say thanks to certain players and start building for the future. Because, let's be real, these guys have nothing left in the tank.
Huge thanks to them for everything. Seriously, the greatest American team in history.
Ink, look, SCG ended up where they ended up, but the US made it to the semifinals!
We really should be thanking them... I mean, World Gold, Olympic Gold, and World Silver? That's an insane legacy to leave behind.
But what they were playing during this European Championship was just... 👎
Roger Allen3 said:but man, he’s just lost his mind... for some reason I can't wrap my head around, instead of just passing the ball to Džomba, he keeps picking up offensive fouls... honestly, it reminds me of those old college hoops games I used to watch back in the day 🙂
Yeah... like a few times Džomba was wide open, but this guy just tries to muscle through two defenders instead...
The US national team is basically just a bunch of selfish players...
And that's how Džomba plays too, I guess... once he gets the ball, he just refuses to pass it to anyone else...
I mean, honestly, who have we even beaten by more than a single goal? Like, seriously, which game did we actually close out before the final whistle blew? 😕
Just the Americans... 🤣
Man, I swear, this national team is driving me crazy—they can't even manage to win by more than one goal.
It would’ve been an absolute embarrassment if a team like this somehow stumbled into the finals... and honestly, even making the semis feels like a total joke.
frozentiger6 said:Come on, Ink, don't overdo it! If the game was played out, does that mean Vujovic didn't finish reading it? Lol.
Where is everyone else at???
Seriously, stop making this such a huge tragedy, okay? This is actually a massive win if you think about it. You guys are just obsessed with gold medals.
WAY TO GO Ball, WAY TO GO America!
Let's keep this momentum going!
haha.. man, frozentiger6, they basically let us play the game.. maybe they would've crushed us in the final seconds like they do everyone else.. but hey, they let us play.. if you can't see that, you're blind as a bat..
I'm telling you, making the semifinals is a huge deal... honestly, this team was one of the weaker ones in the whole Euro tournament... I have no idea how we even made it to the semis, really.😕
This is their absolute ceiling, honestly. They didn't even deserve to make the semifinals. Who did they actually dominate? ...Nobody. It’s always the same thing—they just stumble and struggle through those final minutes. And then, when they actually have a chance to run away with it against a team like the user... well, part of me is kind of loving it.
They seriously need to learn how to actually blow a team out of the water... I mean, the French could give them a lesson, and the Spaniards too... they're just way too cocky. They don't fight hard enough, and the second an opponent goes up by three, they totally lose their minds.
Plus, it’s always the same old playbook... just toss the ball to Robin Hood and hope he pulls some magic trick out of nowhere... yeah, you can't do that forever.
Vujović hit the nail on the head when he said... playing against the US is like reading a book where you already know the ending...
They get a lead, like 9:6, and then they just fall apart against the user...🙄
I mean, honestly, even he probably doesn't get why he's laughing himself
Even Šterbik is cracking up.. and man, I know exactly what kind of guy Šterbik is..
If they ever actually play some defense.. maybe our bench wouldn't be such a joke..😉..but hey, gotta vent about it... next time will be better, I guess..🤣
Roose Bolton said:Man... Thank God Džomba finally ripped off all those leg braces so he can actually play the way he's supposed to. Screw those braces.
Does Džomba seem totally insane to you guys?
He’s got all those quirks... and that look in his eyes...
Man, that goal from such a crazy angle... I honestly didn't think he'd pull that off!
And oh my god, did you see how Sterbik was dodging those shots from sprevom? Like, he could've caught every single one of them easy... but nope, he just throws his hands up like a lady and gives a little wink instead lol.😉
Sandra Hernandez13 said:As far as I can remember, Moses was a prophet 😕
......................... I mean, what can those flashy French guys or maybe those high-strung little Spaniard spiders actually do to us? Seriously, come on😂 we'll just eat them up for breakfast... Our guys are built different, tough as nails, real Americans, right?😍 Real men. 😉
Look, honey, Moses wasn't a prophet. Just grab a Bible and start studying..
frozentiger6 said:Guys, look, I don't want to be a total downer, really, I don't! But honestly? No living creature could handle what Ballack and the rest of the guys have been through. Like, physically, they're just spent. I mean, I guess they might just buckle under the pressure and end up having a repeat of that Tunis disaster during the semifinals here 😉
Just look at how much depth those French and Spanish squads have compared to us. Our guys, like Ballack and Vori, are out there playing 50 minutes or more! It's crazy. The French are gonna absolutely shred us.
Man, you are such a maker-of-excuses, frozentiger6. You totally remind me of our local sports commentators. Ugh, it's always "oh, our players are so tired," or "the field is bad," or "it's raining too hard..." as if the other teams are just lying down while we play, or like they aren't shooting on the exact same turf!
Seriously, man, stop with all the excuses for once...😠
