World Handball Championship: USA vs. Iceland (34-33)

Arthur Martinez7 said:but there are two main differences 🙏 🙏 🙏

you don't see this kind of decay often—this level of pure decadence... even Rome went down with more dignity 😁

😂🤣

It’s almost like they’re trying to force Ketu off the roster.😁

From +5 down to -2 in just 10 minutes... absolute world-class meltdown...

It’s unreal. One second you’re feeling creative, then boom—total loss of confidence hits, nerves kick in, and suddenly this winning squad turns into a bunch of losers.

Come on guys, pull it together—get back out there and crush Iceland, who isn't even a threat to an American team playing this scattered...

Whatever, I still think we walk away with a +3 win, but man, why do they have to mess with our heads like this?

here's some more 🙏🙏🙏

Jeremy Brown43 said:Honestly, Sandra Wilson38, we probably should have just stayed home. 😂 These guys on our team are really messing with us right now. 🤣

That’s pretty much how I saw it too. 😳😁

No big deal, though. We'll pull this off by five points. ☕
Just business as usual. 😁

Sandra Wilson38 said:I couldn't care less about some fly buzzing on a locker room wall. 🙏

Man, I wish I could have heard that live. 🙏

Ivano Balić has Goluža by the collar. 🤣

🤣
So, I head out from the bar where we're sitting at plus four, our offense is clicking, and everything feels great🙏then after a long drive home, I walk inside, flip on the TV, and—holy crap—it’s a total shocker. Iceland pulled it off, 16-14.🤣

Arthur Martinez7 said:Man, I wish I could have heard that one🙏

Ivano Balić has Goluža by the tie🤣

And they might not even make it out of the locker room. 🤣😁

Just let them have this
one.

I leave my place in Florida where we're up by four, playing great offense and looking solid🙏then after a long drive back home, I walk in, flip on the TV, and they're somehow trailing 16-14.🤣

That's just how it goes! 🙏

Sandra Wilson38 said:I honestly couldn't care less about some fly buzzing on a locker room wall. 🙏

..exactly what they'd have to sit through: Balić constantly picking at things, followed by that half-baked explanation that everyone is just playing handball.😁

Good grief, I still can't quite believe it. 🙏

Sandra Wilson38 said:Yeah, I caught that too. 😳😁

Look, no big deal, we're pulling this off with a five-point lead. ☕
Just business as usual. 😁

Wait, are you actually rooting for Iceland? 😂 Seriously, our guys couldn't pull off a comeback even with that kind of delusional confidence. And don't even get me started on the absolute chaos out there 🙄. Did you see how much Omejer was tearing up those Frenchmen today? If we had him on our side, we’d be hoisting the championship trophy right now 😍
.

Hey, what's the word? I’m watching the matchup between Denmark and Špalj, and honestly, I’m staying pretty chill about it. 😁

Even before things get underway... George 😍 🤣

So, why isn't Lac playing...

Did they maybe miscount by two balls 🤷

Carl Garcia22 said:Man, what can you even say about this? I’m watching the matchup between Denmark and Špalj, and honestly, there is just nothing left to get worked up about. 😁

🤣🤣🤣

I don't know, man, I’m just not feeling this...

You can totally see that the talent is there and the squad isn't half bad overall... But you seriously can't just completely fall apart in ten minutes, for crying out loud.🙄

We are freaking missing Kemi's energy on the court, honestly... Now, whether that's on the coach, some built-up frustration from forcing guys like Pere, Džomba, or Sulić to play too much, the starters just hitting a wall, injuries, or something else entirely—who knows—but we have to fix this because our mindset just isn't what it used to be over the last nine years.

Carl Garcia22 said:Man, what can you even say? I’m watching Špalj and the team, and honestly? No stress here. 😁

Well 🙄 at least you're keeping your cool

I have a feeling tomorrow that Goluža is going to be the one to blame for everything...

.........Kljajic. 🤣

Noah Perez12 said:why isn't Lac playing...

did he misplace two shots? 🤷

They mentioned he was just warming up, so perhaps he will enter during the second half.

Or maybe a Catholic just can't stand waiting... what else could it be?

Gregory Ramos3 said:The team is completely lacking chemistry. Is this due to the coach, the accumulated frustration from forcing players like Pere, Džomba, or Sulić, burnout among the starters, injuries, or something else entirely? It needs to be addressed, because mentally, we are nowhere near where we were over the last nine years.

Exactly. There is zero chemistry here. It looks as though they don't even trust one another on the court. I watched the 2004 Olympics final yesterday, and that spirit is nowhere to be found. I understand that 90% of that legendary roster is gone, but still—this is unacceptable. I suspect forcing certain players to play has contributed significantly to the frustration and the mental collapse. How can a team with such a strong historical mindset fall apart like this? They went ten minutes without a single goal.
