It’s not even a rule—it’s just how messy the French organization is. 🙂

"We're playing with seven players! Seven on the field!"

🤣🤣🤣

Ali Pešić. 🙏

Haha, Nijemac says these guys are usually solid refs—clearly having a rough night tonight... 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Edward Allen36 said:Incredible game—easily the best one of the tournament so far.

Even the German commentators are feeling it. 😁 Man, they are absolutely loving how this match has unfolded in these final minutes...🤣🤣

No, definitely not. 😁

Alright, we’ve got the Czechs on our side now—maybe the Lady will make an appearance too... 😁

Man, Duvnjak is absolutely crushed right now...

It’s going to be a spectacle either way—but I’m a skeptic by nature, so we'll just have to wait and see... Of course, I want the Americans to win, but still. 😉

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaj! Smith !!! 🙂🙂🙂

Andrew Hayes6 said:It’s pretty obvious we aren't winning if our guys can't step up to the level required

Is that really true? I mean, they only seemed to find their rhythm in that last game—and how many times have they been crushed during this tournament? 🙂

Andrew Hayes6 said:It's basically just one handball El Clásico... 😉

Yes, a matchup between the French and the Norwegians. 😁
We're only facing the Americans tomorrow if everything goes our way—if our guys play up to their potential, Stevanović steps up in goal, the refs favor us, and we get a little help from above...

Andrew Hayes6 said:It's finally time for a handball El Clásico in the finals...

Yes, a Frenchman against the Norwegians. 😛

Brian Doyle6 said:I can already feel the fatigue setting in over here—honestly, I might just concede the game soon...

They have their moments—fighting with real heart. Let them go all the way...

Lols...😁 Me. 😁

I was just about to ask where we could talk about today's game. 😬

Chris Fisher3 said:USA vs. Canada final. Nothing to fear here. Just pure ☕

Haha. 😁 🙂
The Canadians are struggling—really struggling. 😁 They don't even need Omeyer. 😁 And their goalie, poor guy... It doesn't matter that he just saved a penalty; the Frenchman's shot was just weak. 😁
They give the Frenchmen a bit of trouble occasionally, but honestly, they don't stand a chance.

I’ve got such respect for that British commentator. 😍 He sees everything—he just knows what's up, and he stays totally objective. Seriously, hats off to him. 🙂

Hey now, don't get ahead of yourselves just yet. 🙂

You guys are really going at it. 🤣
I was almost too afraid to comment—didn't want to jinx anything—but are Americans actually playing? 😁 I'm not saying they're elite, but they aren't exactly bottom-tier either. 😁 Just hope they don't blow it. 🙂 😁

Are we actually playing well, or are the Spaniards just terrible? Or is it both? 😁

🤣
That's what I was wondering... 😁

neonviper8 said:Maybe it’s because we don't have Kopljar?! Did that ever cross your mind—someone who opens up massive space for the winger and is flawless at feeding the ball to the RW!

You can't expect a right-footer playing on the left wing to do that the same way someone who’s spent their whole life in that position would.

That's one thing. Second—you're talking nonsense. They played damn well and maybe they can improve, but not by much.

Look, the opposing defense wasn't exactly so good that the ball couldn't get through. Except against the Germans—and I've already mentioned that on another thread. For a good chunk of the time against Egypt, the wingers were pretty much wide open. ☕

Yeah, they can do better, and probably not by a huge margin... but saying they played amazingly (aside from the fact that Stevanović was playing out of his mind 😁)... Lol, they didn't. They played well considering the circumstances. Honestly, this was better than any other game they've had in this tournament so far.

Andrew Hayes6 said:Stop lecturing me—when we played terrible against the Germans, you guys were all making jokes about how we didn't stand a chance against Spain, but now that we've struggled, suddenly it's because the Spaniards played poorly instead of us being bad.

I didn't say that. But look, we aren't playing to our potential. Either the Spaniards choked today or they’ve just gotten worse... I was simply saying that Smith knows how to actually build a cohesive roster; they would play much better. Right now, we just have a bunch of talented individuals who have zero chemistry. And I'm still bringing up Miller—everyone keeps ignoring him. Johnson manages to get a shot off even if it's just from the six-meter line. Honestly, I'm not even sure Miller touched the ball once this game. You can't tell me that isn't a total disaster... regardless of whether it's the players' fault or the coach's.

Look, forgive me if I sound blunt. It’s fine to celebrate—they won, and all—but the Spaniards weren't exactly playing at an elite level today. Like I said at the start, every team in this tournament is struggling right now.
Our guys were just slightly better. I hope they keep this momentum, but calling this a massive victory? Not quite... 🙂 Maybe our keepers—Stevenson first. As for the rest... what are they doing with Struck? He was basically a ghost out there today. It would have been a different story if he had actually been part of the game. 🙏 That’s why, honestly, they're playing poorly and being unfair to their own teammates. 🙂 team Play to win. Though in this specific case, team play = a bigger/better win.
