A whole subforum just for three topics? Give me a break. ☕

The games are fine. They aren't the reason everyone stopped caring about anything except the NFL, NBA, and MLB. 🤷

And then there's what happened in US Congress today... honestly, this country is a complete mess. You wouldn't even come up with something this ridiculous on drugs🤣

I actually find the drama in US Congress pretty entertaining—watching that slippery Maras try to drop his "English phrases" is pure comedy gold. 🤦

P.S. Wait, is Unai Emery working for the president now?

Why is this lady from the US Congress only getting spotlighted now—when she was basically under the microscope the second she stepped foot in D.C.?😁

Ashley Bailey6 said:Honestly, fucking Bayern Munich just won't score.



It would have been 145.

The keeper from Hoffe basically pulled off a miracle in the 93rd minute—some seriously clutch saves there. The ball just refused to go in; I guess fate decided Bayern wasn't scoring even if we played until Easter. 😛 Looking at the other matchups, it would’ve been way too much if all three of those hit in stoppage time. 😛

Just put him on ignore.

All I really walked away with was the fact that they’re obsessed with Pharrell Williams—either playing "Happy" or "Get Lucky." 😬

Mad respect to him, though—the guy's a total fighter. He shows up without any complaints and plays non-stop, and I really value that. But seriously, I mean it when I say he probably should've sat this one out: these tournaments happen every damn year, but you only get five big ones in a four-year cycle. It wears everyone down, and honestly, nobody expected him to make it this far anyway. They could've sent a few fresh faces instead, let Duleta recover during this month-long mid-season break, and then come back home to hunt down that one missing medal with a hungry Domagoj by his side.

I'm with Mandalinić on this (actually, anyone in this spot—you can't stay warm), we're all prone to "what if" scenarios. This was a guy who's always been a risk-taker, and he's the oldest one on the squad, for God's sake. If he’d nailed it, he’d be a legend right now. Instead? He's the public enemy number one. Can you even sleep at night, Horvat Zlaj? Seriously. 🙏

Kenneth Clark18 said:Who would you trust with a penalty kick? Honestly, the comment sections on all these news sites are already overflowing with absolute garbage.

The guy who took it—because clearly he’s the only one with any guts in that squad. He missed, but hey, it happens. Even football legends lost big games back in the day. We move. They'll bounce back next year.

The people whining about this are just part of that specific breed of losers.

🙏Brkić and Sarač have brought up Duvnjak's "heroics" regarding his fatigue a hundred times now. They should have just advised him to skip this (one single tournament in a long career) so he could be fresh for our Euro—since, apparently, nobody expected anything from us anyway. As it stands, he's just going to end up even more exhausted. 🙄

Kenneth Clark18 said:Look, I always figured they just knocked them out in the qualifiers—this whole "wild card" thing is clearly just a gimmick to boost handball's popularity.🤣 Just like they do in basketball.

Not quite—they actually introduced the wild card after Germany missed out on WC 2015. They bumped Australia under the excuse that Oceania lacks a confederation to send reps to the WC (even though they could for years before that), then pulled a wild card move and handed it straight to the Germans. That same year, some Arab teams dropped out, and instead of picking an Asian rep, they gave the spot to Iceland. They’re doing the exact same thing this time—using a phantom wild card just to fill a slot because apparently, nobody knows how to organize a proper European playoff to grant an extra spot.

Robert Doyle8 said:Look, if Cervar said it, then there's nothing left to argue about. Close the thread!

Good grief...

🤣

The forum always goes up in flames the second a major tournament rolls around.

Loki's just gonna mess the whole thing up anyway.

steelharbor9 said:but man, I’ll never forget that one scene during the game against Korea in San Francisco—when (I think) Janes shouts "Ivan" at the goal, the crowd bellows "BAAAALLLIIIC," then they do it for everyone else, and finally, when he yells "Matthew," the whole stadium goes wild while the announcer awkwardly stammers "American!" 🤣

That was peak comedy—so awkward, honestly, because I was one of the few people who actually shouted American. 🤦 🤣

Goddammit! About time—our keeper finally pulls one off!

Terry Fisher2 said:Hold up—our semifinals are on the 27th, bronze medal match on the 28th, and then the finals on the 29th. 🤣

They absolutely trashed the schedule. 🤣

Four matches in three time slots today, then four more over just four days. 🤣

Why on earth did they cram all the quarterfinals into a single day? And in three different time slots, no less. 🤮 Oh, sure—because splitting the semifinals over two days was clearly too much to ask. 🙏

You spend years waiting for the knockout stages to come back, they finally bring them back in 2015 with a pretty mediocre schedule, and now they "fix" it by making it even more of a mess. 🙏 Honestly, the people running this show are absolute geniuses.

Brian Doyle6 said:those pricing gaps—they really just come from having way too many championships...

Exactly this—it’s basically just a great way to sharpen your edge through high-stakes competition. 😬

Yeah, we're pretty much constantly fine-tuning our game at every single tournament just to get ready for the next one—or the one after that.

driftingotter47 said:they're gearing up for everything for Tokyo 2020.

Handball is just built different—it’s always some big play being prepped for the future. 🙏

Congrats to the new President! :klap:

So, what's the verdict on Green Day? 🙂
