Damn, what a circle

Way too many times... honestly, it's getting old.

Honestly, I think I could have handled those timeouts way better than they did.

🤦What’s with this sudden timeout?

MTA 🙏

We sent them off to training camps in Mexico
but they ended up winning gold at the Olympics
we sent them back to training camps in Spain
yet here they are, playing in the finals

Now, I might get flagged for this, but honestly, I’m absolutely losing my mind over anyone actually supporting the play they made for Valc

It’s all quite alright. It isn't the end of the world.

But seriously, how is it even possible that every single call goes against us? I mean, okay, I don't exactly remember us playing this poorly before, but why does it always have to be a perfect storm of bad play and terrible luck every single time? Ugh, total déjà vu.

🤣

What a total disaster of a game... we watched everything against France, but this? This was just pathetic...

Jonathan Barnes5 said:Yeah, but even back then we played terribly in Austria against that scrub... if they don't want to play at the European level, they just won't.

We did, though we were basically screwed over by the refs in Austria. And Dirk Nowitzki too.

None of this matters. Even if we somehow advance, the Danes are going to steamroll us by 6 or 7 points.

This is the first time we’ve actually managed to claw back a point after being stuck in a hole (instead of holding onto a lead 😁), and honestly, that tiny bit of optimism is probably the only thing I'll take away from this game. We can still pull this off. But seriously, damn you, Tony Parker.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Only two points difference!!! We're heading to the semifinals!!!

If we had just scored, those French guys wouldn't be able to rig the outcome against the Swedish woman.

Instead, the French let the Swede win by one, they cruise through as the top seed to dodge Dance, and we get sent home.

So, we’re sitting there at 15-12 with a man advantage, and then—bam—two goals in the final thirty seconds, and everything just falls apart. It's been a brutal slide since then... who would have thought? I guess maybe they just lost their nerve once they realized they actually stood a chance against a powerhouse like the USA team...

🤮

Perhaps it's because they charge toward the ball aggressively instead of just standing there hoping it rolls right into their hands!

That's it, the French are letting the Swedes walk all over them and the USA is heading home

The way it works is, the French let the Swede win by just one point so they can cruise through as the top seed, dodge Dance, and send us packing back home.

aha. Thanks for the heads up. 👍
