Alex Cook said:The real kicker in all this—which we’ve honestly debated a hundred times on this board and in other handball threads—is just how much potential went unused. It hurts seeing a generation that had everything they needed to be the most decorated squad in history walk away with just two golds. Just two. Let’s be real here. Like I mentioned earlier, if you have a tournament every two years instead of four, it's way easier to stay consistent. If the FIFA World Cup happened every couple of years, some team like the Netherlands would've definitely snatched titles back in the 70s. There are endless examples of this, and I don't want to get too off-topic. You've got the best right wing, the best center back, one of the best pivots, and elite defenders... and all you show for it is two golds? Yeah, yeah, we Americans are never satisfied, but we deserved more.
Seriously, what kind of talk is that, implying we should've been the most decorated team ever?🙄 Looking at the competition near Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, and the rest, I've been saying since 2003 that we should've been the absolute powerhouse of handball, yet we only managed two golds. Give me a break.
