Handball Euro Finals: America vs. Denmark 20:24
in Other Sports ·
When you've been following sports for enough years, you eventually learn this unwritten rule: if a team absolutely crushes an opponent during the group stage, only to face them again later in the knockout rounds, semifinals, or finals, they almost never pull off the same result. In 99% of cases, they actually end up losing.
It’s just an unwritten rule... honestly, it’s all about the psychology of it.
Personally, I’m just sitting here wondering how much our guys have left in the tank. Are they mentally broken, or do they still have the strength to push through? I think they do, though. This is Metelica's last European Championship, and his motivation is next-level. If we grab the gold, Metelica becomes the most successful handball player in history. He’d have every single major title collected—both for the national team and at the club level. He’s already got a European title with Real Madrid, a Cup Cup title with Ademar, an EHF Cup title with Metkovica, the World Championship from Portugal, and an Olympic gold from Athens. All he needs now is that one European gold medal.
Man, they are leaving everything out there on the court; it’s like watching a movie.
The only thing is, even the Danes are feeling the exhaustion. Watching them go against Germany, you see them crying, rolling on the floor in pure joy—it’s just raw emotion everywhere.
