The players are on the same page as Went. They’re offering congratulations while acknowledging we earned this win.

Bartlomiej Jaszka netted three, though it wasn't quite enough for Poland: ”We're happy to have made it to the semifinals. We were aiming for the final, but the Americans were just better today, so I have to give them credit.”

Along with the coach and Jaszka, Tomasz Tluczynski also showed up at the official press conference: ”It’s a tough pill to swallow when a game turns on decisions like that. I was hoping we wouldn't run into these officials, but at the end of the day, I have to admit the Americans played the better game and deserve the victory.”

After a result like that in the semifinals, it’s no surprise Polish coach Bogdan Wenta was feeling gutted. ”Congrats to the Americans; I wish them nothing but the best in the final. We’re disappointed with how things unfolded, especially me regarding that completely baffling yellow card right at the end when the Americans regained possession. They were the better team, and now we have to find a way to get motivated for our match against Iceland.”

Bwahaha. Is Wenta still seeing red? 🤣

William Ramirez12 said:it’s just a matter of the stats being slightly off regarding Ćosić 🤣
2.36🤣let's count it down together... 9, 8, 7, FIVE, SIX, 4, 3, 2, 1 😁 😂

but as for kljun—absolute zero.

Alright, enough nonsense.
I’m usually the first one to pass on calling someone a clown, but once again, the clown proved the point.
Sure, he's a fool—he’s basically patting himself on the back while writing off his own reputation, yet somehow he still comes out looking like a winner.
So, congratulations to Lin Chervar.

Either you aren't watching handball, or you're lying.

And nobody rational actually expected gold.

Anyone claiming they expected gold is either lying or knows nothing about the sport.☕

Aside from the French, nobody can confidently charge for gold, but reaching the final was a realistic goal—and we hit it.
Compared to last year, the global landscape hasn't shifted much. If anything, the US and France have pulled even further ahead of the pack.
Sure, we're missing Peter, but compared to last year, we've got an Alilovic who's twice as good, we have Strlek stepping up for the MVP, and Balic is in peak form.
Doug has been playing like a true world-class talent over the last two games. He and Balic basically gave the Poles a painful lesson today.
They spent 15 minutes running perfect offensive plays while the other guys just stood there watching.

Samuel Baker3 said:Fair point. His replacement really stepped up, which might actually be a win for the Poles.

Those two brothers just proved my point: they're overrated.

Alright, but at this point, it’s getting ridiculous how Bill vanishes whenever there's a big game on the line.
The brothers at least show some hustle, but this guy? He just disappears. Like he isn't even on the field.
As soon as Mike shut down that low shot of his, he completely checked out of the game.
A total disaster of a player.

22-18

let's goooooooooooooooo

Our defense shut them down. Period.
Balić and Dule picked up the pace around the 30-45 minute mark, and honestly, it was all we needed. Everything after that was just routine.

The way Balić distributes the ball. 🙏 🙏

We're winning.
Ref, just blow the whistle already.

Today is a huge 🙏 for Dulet and Balic. They absolutely crushed it.

Paul Lopez49 said:Their goalie is a beast. Honestly, the whole defensive six looks solid. Where do they even find players like that? 🤣

Siodmiak 🙏 🙏

Chris Lopez59 said:So, quick question... where did Poljak go? Anyone know?

He stepped down from the national team.

Samuel Baker3 said:I’ve always hated watching Poland play. Their handball style is just ugly.

And once again, Bielecki vanished after the 10th minute. What a complete loser move.

So, it’s Balic against the world again.

Routine ☕

We took down Bieleck and Lijewskog. 🙏 🙏

You can't keep missing the mark like this. 🤦

Come on, let's just settle this once and for all.

Chris Lopez59 said:I love how Nose breaks it down. You can tell he’s rational, level-headed, and actually understands what's happening on the field. It’s obvious why the coach 🙂 values him, yet the commentators miss it entirely. They watch the game, sure, but they're just talking...

Sure, but Nose has definitely lost his edge lately.
The insight is there, but he struggles to find the right way to say it. 🤣
