Who on earth did you see in 🤣 Kim, Fojko, Kim. And I see you all are already debating who has the best defense in the world. Get ready for some serious bickering, you bunch of troublemakers 🤣
Honestly, Losert performs well provided he has solid support from a backup keeper. If he’s left out there on an island, I worry he might buckle under the pressure. As for the younger guys, since Lino doesn't quite possess the tactical brilliance of Bilic and we no longer have Pipeta to rely on, they're really going to have to step up and dominate the goal.
People are already panicking, even though the World Cup isn't for another six months. It looks to me like we're heading toward a brutal two-week winter grind. Besides, who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and face Portugal again. Only this time, let's try playing without Vori on the left, and perhaps we could even call up Zrnić. We really need to find someone to gel with the lineup instead of Kime—and obviously not Vori, because he belongs at pivot. Lino, are you listening...
Lino simply doesn't make mistakes; he only delivers controversial and brilliant decisions that, unfortunately, seem to escape everyone else's understanding. It's just that not all of us are living on the cutting edge.
Hello everyone. I’m honestly a bit worried about Lin’s new direction for the sport. If I had one wish, it would be to see American handball played the way it was back during those games in Athens—just pure, fast-paced, and perfectly synchronized teamwork. No overcomplicated schemes or manufactured tactics, just the game at its best.
Brian Moore67, excellent post 👍 It is a bit unfortunate that we are discussing this in the wrong thread, but looking at history, only two out of the six Navy SEAL operations in Grenada were actually successful. It was precisely because of those setbacks that they had to completely overhaul the entire doctrine for Navy SEAL teams.
Brian Moore67 said:That isn't actually such an outrageous take. The Green Berets aren't necessarily built for pure brute force; that's simply not their primary function. Instead, they excel at linguistics, understanding regional cultures, and mastering tactical organization. Think of them as the intellectual specialists of the military; their main mission involves training and organizing guerrilla forces behind enemy lines rather than just being ultra-tough action heroes. Much of that "tough guy" myth comes from the Rambo films. In reality, Navy SEALs or Delta Force might be considered more physically imposing because they focus on direct combat operations, even though they handle intelligence missions too—they just don't emphasize the guerrilla training aspect as much. If I recall correctly, they don't mention where John Matrix served in Commando, so he could easily belong to Delta or the SEALs.
P.S. Please provide counterarguments. I am looking for a calm, reasoned debate regarding the absolute trash cinema of the 1980s. 😎
Delta Force members aren't strictly combat specialists; they are primarily experts in intelligence and counterintelligence work, who happen to be fighters as well. The most impressive figure in these films is the character played by Eric Bana in Black Hawk Down.
At least we won't have to endure Charles acting like a hysterical little poodle after the World Cup, attacking everyone and claiming this squad was playing against windmills just to secure the gold. He’ll probably try to blame the sports media for Metlicic's injury, or claim some local tabloid caused Džombin to land awkwardly on the wrong foot. It seems even Balic has finally lost his patience with him and all his constant whining.

Hey Vanja, go ahead and start the thread, and let's give them a standing ovation. Seriously guys, massive props—hitting five semifinals in just three years is an incredible feat.
