Handball Euro: USA vs. France 25-27

I knew it was going to fall apart before we even hit halftime.

The only way we lose this game is if we somehow blow it while playing with an extra man on the floor.

Today we’re facing off against Sweden 😢

Am I the only one who thinks this game is a complete joke?🤷🤣🤣

It used to be that our games against them would always end up with scores like this. Times change, I suppose—we’ve definitely picked up the pace—but those guys always seem to find a way to pull through somehow.
God, I can't stand them.

Does anyone happen to have an Alilović/Cemantara gif lying around? 😁

Did they mess up the halftime score?

We’re playing great—holding a slim 2-3 point lead the whole time—and then, for the first time ever, they decide to sub in more players (up to +3). And just like that, everything goes to hell...

Hold up, Kopljar is sitting at a perfect 6/6, yet we’re still down by one 🤣🤣

Honestly, Alilović might as well just stand next to the net; there's a better chance they hit the post than him actually making a save. This is freaking pathetic. 🤣 We've surrendered nearly 40 goals in the first half alone 😁

It’s actually the exact opposite of what happened against Sweden. We played poorly back then but still managed to take a half. Now, we play much better here yet we're still trailing.

I swear, if I have to watch this any longer, I’m going to lose my mind—it is painfully obvious exactly how we are throwing this game away. 😕

A scoreline like this shouldn't even be happening until the 50th minute.

7/8 😁

At the end of the day, our defense just isn't quite clicking. We're letting them push us around—they're driving right through us—and we're just sitting there handing out freebies, whether it's penalty shots or easy goals.

Is there any way we can actually fix this?

I mean, we were seeing scores like this back in the 50th minute once.

They put up 18 unanswered points—that's the pattern right there. You basically answered your own question.

Man, this is easily the last time Goluža actually pulls off a tactical masterpiece.🤣🤣

But nope, I guess I just don't get the hype about us playing "great," right? Playing great how? Our defense is absolute garbage, our goalie is basically invisible, and on offense, we’re just handing them expensive mistakes on a silver platter... The only difference—and I mean the ONLY thing saving us—is that we're getting goals from Kopljarev that we usually don't see.😁

Yeah, exactly 🤣

I mean, I guess it's pretty obvious that France is just a step above Sweden, isn't it?

The Danes just showed their hand with some questionable officiating and blatant bias; it’s clear they’re trying to clear a path for themselves by keeping us out of the semifinals, clearly viewing the French as a much tougher threat.

Well, let them have it then.

From here on out, we take it slow in the second half. Let's rotate the roster a bit, make sure we don't lose by more than five or six points, grind out a win in the next game, rest up during the third, and then get ready for Dance.

That's when we'll show them who's really in charge. ☕
