Handball World Cup: USA vs. Argentina (36-18)

Anthony Wilson4 said:Guys, what happens if we drop Sweden tomorrow and end up facing Poland instead? Wouldn't they have to take Denmark then? ?

Aha, yeah, they definitely would have to... 😁

Paul Jones7 said:if we let the Swedes get the upper hand, we might as well kiss the semifinals goodbye

is that a hundred percent certainty? because I'm not so sure...

Man, finally a decent game worth watching.🙂
Kudos to the guys, they played their hearts out, but let’s be real—we were up against Argentina.
We'll just have to see how everyone's feeling tomorrow.😉

Jeffrey Fisher61 said:Jesus, give me a break. Not giving Buntica the Man of the Match award is just 🤦

I’m not putting too much faith in Milwaukee; at the end of the day, this is Argentina

Why do you guys keep repeating "it's just Argentina"? This Argentina team beat Sweden and Slovakia, they only lost by one goal to Poland, they’re playing incredibly well, and even their young mid-tier fullback just signed with Real City...

Alexander Campbell7 said:The Mexicans are probably going to be brawling with the Poles tomorrow—they know only the top seven make it to the Olympics, so honestly, this works out fine for us.

And I guess we’ll be getting into a scrap tomorrow too, though at least today wasn't such a struggle... it's a good thing we didn't run that 3-2-1 setup, otherwise we would've been in real trouble.

Give it a rest. The main thing is those angry cowboys didn't fall into the trap of thinking, "Oh, it's just Argentina..." 😉

The Germans just pulled ahead of Iceland by four points again. It’s looking more and more like we’re going to run straight into France in the semifinals

I honestly think we’re gonna show up tomorrow and bite hard... we're heading straight to the finalseeeeee

God, I hope so.

frozentiger6 said:Why does everyone keep insisting it’s "just Argentina"? I mean, they beat Sweden and Slovakia, they only lost by one point against Poland—they’re playing great. Plus, even that young, mid-tier fullback just signed a deal with Real City...

Look, they aren't bad, per se, but their tactical prep for this match was honestly a disaster. We basically caught them totally napping—caught them with their pants down, I guess—and now they’ve finally realized how much width you actually need in handball. Honestly, any other team could probably use this exact same playbook if they just watched this game closely enough.

Wait, what did Doug just say about the Gauchos? That they "beat Slovakia, one tiny Russian state"? 😁

Anthony Wilson4 said:Man, what actually happens if we knock out Sweden tomorrow and then end up facing Poland??? I mean, wouldn't the Americans have to take on the Swedes next, right?

Basically, you'd just see a bunch of Americans and Swedes going at it ☕

frozentiger6 said:Wait, hold up, what did Doug just say about the Gauchos? That they beat Slovakia, which he called some tiny little Russian state? 😁

An American state 😉

Well put, Lake and Domagoj 🙂

If we actually manage to pull this off and make it all the way to the semifinals, I guess... well, who knows where things go from there? It’s a bit of a wild thought, honestly.😁
