You know, if you take a peek over at eBay—the US version, obviously—you’ll notice they have a massive selection of larger sizes available. Just off the top of my head—and I say this with all due respect to the fashionistas out there—brands like Next or New Look tend to carry them, and honestly? You can probably find plenty at places like Old Navy or even Target.

Perhaps we wouldn't have even won if they had played fair, but at least we would have had a fighting chance at 22-20. Instead, they got robbed, and now there's nothing left to show for it. ☕

Since we're basically a powerhouse in the NBA, why the hell don't we have any kind of officiating protection? It's not that people should be coddled, but our guys look like they've been through three different wars because of this.
And then there were those two greasy fast-break goals they let slide—calls that wouldn't even pass muster in the minor leagues—right when things were already going south.
The war started right from that first ejection. I think it was Spoljaric? It wasn't even close to being his fault; Dominikovic caught him in the face while he was trying to move away, and he ended up getting punished for nothing.
The Americans wouldn't have won this without the refs, regardless of the fact that they might actually be better right now. They basically froze up ten minutes before the end and could only score on fast breaks. If we had been within two goals of them, we would have completely blown the doors off.
well, you should go ask the US Handball Association. 😉 All they care about is keeping things running smoothly domestically—making sure everyone stays happy back home—while completely ignoring the fact that nobody takes us seriously when we step onto the big international stage... 🤷
The captain 🙏is really giving it his all 🙏for the sake of 🙏the whole 🙏country!
He’s got big things waiting for him in just two days when he heads back to join 🙏Real Madrid—honestly, this kind of performance? It's pure patriotism. 🙏🙏🙏
Actually—if you ask me—it was meant for us, and frankly, it’s almost too much to handle! 🙄
Up until now, I had a bit of a grudge against the Catalan folks—just a little thing, really—but now? Well, let's just say my feelings toward Spaniards have shifted quite a bit... except, of course, for two absolutely wonderful people out there.

Given how the officiating works, this is absolute gold.
I am officially taking back everything I said about the refs. :2up:
Arthur Martinez7 said:Honestly, everything turned out quite wonderful in the end... We could have easily faced a bitter loss against the French if the officiating had been this blatantly biased against us. Looking at our actual performance on the court, we truly belong among the top two teams in the world, so I believe we should be genuinely satisfied with what we achieved. 👍 👋
It’s just plain tragic when the referees rob you this blatantly—it’s exactly what happened last year to ensure the Germans could cruise into the finals. That isn't sports; that's something else entirely.
It’s just a total joke—absolute nonsense—how they treated the EHF Champions League and Gopac and Kavran. We are an absolute powerhouse on the global stage, yet nobody seems to give us even two percent of the respect we deserve. :2up:
And then there’s the red card for Červar. Oh, brilliant! Just absolutely masterminded! He managed to hand them a four-minute advantage—pure genius right there!
