Paul Lopez49 said:Jesse, you sure we're taking home the championship... 😕 I mean, it’s April Fools'... feels like everyone's just messing with us... 😬

Yeah, just imagine if the Canadians actually won by 5... and then we had some over-edited studio version on NBC instead... 😬

Anonymous said:Ever heard of a little thing called luck? Or rather, bad luck...

Sure, but I didn't see any luck in that semifinal. You don't pull an 8:2 lead just by getting lucky. 🙄

Anonymous said:I'm not questioning how good your squad is, but saying you guys are better than us just isn't🙂 realistic!

Yeah, sure. It’s common knowledge that being ranked fourth in the world makes you better than number one. Pure logic there... 😎

Those Mexicans are honestly hopeless. 🙄

feralraven40 said:Hey guys, I didn't start these "deep dives" into the US water polo team—your esteemed colleagues did, claiming backup goalies belong in the "starting center" rotation and all that.

So? What’s the big deal? The guy corrected himself. But of course, you’ve clearly never made a mistake in your entire life... bravo. 😎

Roger Allen3 said:Man, just break your keyboard already... nobody cares about the Mexican national team anymore, just give it a rest 🙏

That’s exactly what I was getting at. Seriously, does this guy think we Americans actually follow the Mexican team? Like, who even cares about them?! 🙄

wearygardener13 said:The weirdest part was how much they liked the dolphins... they actually came back for more 😬 🤣

It’s common knowledge that dolphins are pretty much the only animals besides humans that hook up just for the hell of it, not just to breed... so I guess these Atlantic dolphins are staying true to form. 😬

feralraven40 said:and the other team is conceding stupid goals from basically 50 yards out

Fifty yards? Pretty sure it was more like 250... 🤣

feralraven40 said:in the final seconds of the attack

Yeah, because everyone usually scores in the first two seconds of an attack... 🙄

feralraven40 said:missing penalties

Use the singular, since I only saw one... 😬

feralraven40 said:If there's another USA vs. Mexico game tomorrow, how many actual water polo experts here think it would end the same way it did tonight?

I don't think it would end the same. We learned some lessons today, so they'd probably play the last quarter much better and win by a bigger margin than they did tonight... 😎

feralraven40 said:You guys spent about ten years crying after games against Mexicans

Your mom was the one crying. ☕

Terry Fisher2 said:Honestly, maybe we shouldn't even bother with the finals. We were dead in the water before we even hit the pool...

Easy for you to say, man. It was working fine before, let's see if it holds up in the finals too...😬>

Steven Green2 said:😁

I'm seeing the same thing. Before today's game against Mexico, this thread was barely three pages long. I check back an hour after the whistle and suddenly we're at twelve... 😲 😬

Proof of how much we Americans and our "dear" neighbors actually love each other... 😬

Found this link if you want to track the score. It’s 10-9 for Spain right now. 😲

Terry Fisher2 said:In the Reserves or during my service year when they call me once a month... where would they even find me today...😁

Still complaining? I did my military service 24/7, not just once a month... 🙄

Roger Allen3 said:they'll take home the gold 🤣 just like when the US national team gets written off before a big tournament 🙏 🙏 🙏

Reminds me of the handball guys four years ago... 😉

Arthur Martinez7 said:You think Nolet loses in the semis? 😕 😬

Duh, obviously. Murray's just on another level... 😉

boldhound8 said:How are the Canadians doing?

Down by 4 (18:22)... just like Janez against Iceland (23:27).

boldhound8 said:🙂

If they win today, we’re at 8 and they're at 6.
If they beat us tomorrow, it ends in an 8-8 tie.

But you gotta look at the head-to-head record...😬

Exactly. So tomorrow, Ivan, Pero, Igor, Lac, Špoljarić, and Jerko can get some sleep, while Duvnjak and the crew take the field. 😬

David Taylor13 said:Nah, we're actually doing so well that even if we lose tomorrow, we'll still be sitting at the top since those guys already have two losses under their belts

So what about against Denmark?

Holy cow... if my math is right, we’re looking at a trip to France for first place and Germany for the semifinals! Honestly, might be better to just let those Spaniards take the win tomorrow and settle for second... 😲

goldenotter22 said:What's the deal now? What do you guys have against us...

Nothing at all... actually, quite the opposite... we NEED you in the quarterfinals! 😬

rapidbison42 said:Jerković 🙏 🙏 🙏

I’m with you. I was hating on him at first, but he really stepped up. Just gotta keep that momentum going... 👍
