Handball Euro: USA vs. France 25-27

😂 you people are pathetic—total losers

I honestly thought I’d never be able to bring myself to say this out loud, but our guys are just playing like complete amateurs. Look, I’m not some bitter hater, but that entire second half was an absolute train wreck.

Sure, they always have been. I guess our decline actually goes deeper than that, tracing back to when Nikola Jokić left the national team. We've just been in an inexplicable downward spiral ever since.

What a joke.... They had a 3-point lead, and they could have easily pushed it to 6 in those 4 or 5 minutes. Instead, they completely choked and let it slip to -1. 🤣

Kenneth Clark18 said:Oh, they absolutely are—they always have been. Our decline isn't just some fluke; it’s rooted in much deeper issues, stretching all the way back to when Nikola Jokić left the national team. Ever since then, we've been in this inexplicable downward spiral.

It makes perfect sense. It really does.

5 goals... that's gotta be some kind of record!! A bad one, obviously, but man, our guys just completely fell apart out there. I was sitting at a pub nearby and even the guy at the next table looked absolutely heartbroken over it... totally gutted. :banghead:

Where did the starting left winger from 2009 end up?

We had a hundred opportunities to close the gap—yet we couldn't find a way through.

Man, Bunta, where the hell have you been hiding all this time?

But... hold on a second...

Once they lose guys like Gille and Dinart...
Then we'll see...
Since we're busy rebuilding the roster with younger talent...
And you've got Omeyer at 38, Narcisseu at 34... plus Fernandez at 37...
While our squad is actually getting younger...

Psychology. That's all it is. It has nothing to do with fatigue. Everyone else is tired too.

Psychology alone has handed us at least three gold medals that we can think of right now.

Kenneth Clark18 said:They certainly were, and honestly, they always have been. Our decline stems from much deeper roots, tracing back to the moment Smajlagić left the national team; since that departure, we've experienced an inexplicable downward slide.

True, though even during those years, our performance in Europe was underwhelming—much like how a talented player might struggle to find their rhythm on the big stage despite having all the tools.

They ought to raise their hands right this second, immediately following the timeout.

God, you guys and your endless nonsense... it’s always the same old story.
