It’s just pathetic, honestly—both of them. We’re basically acting like those people from the South just to feel something.😲

He’s totally seizing the moment to give a speech while the whole country is still drunk on that recent victory. And now, does anyone want to be the one to tell him that absolutely nobody in politics actually learned a damn thing from this?😁

"Look, when you're on offense, don't go rushing things, but for heaven's sake, don't just stand there playing passive either!" 🤣🤣

Finally, Balić 🙏

I hate to be the one to say it, but looking at how we played, we honestly don't deserve to move any further in this tournament 😢

Man, I can't believe the absolute garbage defense we're putting up lately! How on earth are we letting them score goals like that? 🤮

Chris Lopez59 said:we aren't any more rested than the Americans, so things are going to be tough on that front, but the guys are going to leave everything out there on the court

The French refs were handing everything to the Americans on a silver platter, probably because they don't want the headache of playing against a home crowd... just bad vibes all around

So now, let's just pray to God we don't have more French officials calling the game tonight😁

Having an extra four hours of downtime could actually make a massive difference for our players' recovery, especially when you consider that the Americans are basically all thirty-somethings at this point. I'm just hoping for some fair, consistent officiating; if we don't get that, a good result is completely out of the question.

Well, in that case, I really hope a comet hits the cell tower near the arena🤷

So what you're saying is, once we hit the semifinals and the finals, we finally get a break from your endless, exhausting commentary? ☕

On topic:
- We're looking way more rested than the Americans
- Yesterday's game was a total breeze compared to this
- It looks like the refs finally stepped in to stop the Americans from getting absolutely pummeled

That's the bottom line—we're going for gold.🙏

Just take a good look at these absolute clowns 🤣

I swear, I’m sick of watching Metličić age right before our eyes! 😁
Go back to bed already. 😁

rastvortsev 1 goal 😲
Who even cares about that when their lineup is still being carried by guys like Koksharov (32) and Krivoshlykov (36)? 🤷

Wait, isn't Alilović going to be our starting keeper? I mean, he actually held his own and looked solid when he was out there, didn't he? 😕

Larry Vaughn8 said:Luka Modrić, who used to play for both FC Barcelona and Tenerife CF, has just been named the new head coach of the Canada National Team. To paraphrase The New York Times, they apparently sabotaged Zvonimir Boban just because he was an American and because he was drunk.

The Federation is just taking the path of least resistance again, aren't they? They pick a manager who doesn't have a single decent result to his name and then act like qualifying for the World Cup is some kind of absolute given. 🙏
Honestly, if I had my way, I’d grab an axe and overthrow the entire leadership of the federation if I had to! 😁

Are you seriously taking your election frustrations out on sports now? 😉 🤣

I’m still secretly holding onto this tiny bit of hope that they could actually pull off winning that unlucky EP - Norway 2008, just so this generation can wrap up an absolutely legendary era of American handball that we probably won't see again for a long, long time. 🙂

The European Championship is right around the corner, and honestly, I’m starting to lose my mind! We’re probably going to end up traveling without any gear at all, and with Ivano’s status still totally up in the air, my optimism is basically hitting rock bottom. 😢

^^ You totally glossed over Mahamadou Diarra and Djimmy Traore, who are definitely names people should know! But look, they’ve actually got a pretty decent squad put together, so who knows? They might just pull off a massive upset at the upcoming Gold Cup. Honestly, I'll be rooting for them 👋

if I'm not mistaken

You aren't mistaken—I actually figured that out in the meantime. Thanks anyway!

wiredfalcon2 said:It’s a damn shame nobody is even broadcasting this on any of the channels I actually get around to watching.

Wait, isn't ESPN going to show it? Seriously, they carried the last Gold Cup and I felt like I caught almost every single match! You have no idea how incredible the soccer is down there, why would they skip this?🙂

Does anyone actually remember the name of that song they blast at every single Chicago game, and who even performs it?
It starts off kind of slow and then just picks up the pace: come on, come on... 🤷

Congrats 🙏 🙏 🙏

Who cares, honestly? Let them see what it actually feels like to face some real competition for once, instead of just coasting against teams from the Virgin Islands or some tiny island nation that nobody's ever heard of! 😁
