World Handball Championship: America vs. Argentina 36:18

I'm not lying about this, MC.

Look—I literally just heard about this last night.

I'm still standing by everything I said.

I am not a liar.

Tonight should be a breeze.
If we can't take down Argentina—then honestly, we don't deserve a spot in the semifinals.
I mean, what’s even the point of getting there if we can't handle the Argentines?

After that, I guess Irfan Smajlagić will just take over the bench, and from the next tournament onward, we'll probably sweep up every gold medal in sight.

Man, forget about Irfan... we need someone like Ante Kostelić to step up and toughen these guys up. We’d be sweeping trophies for the next decade if he was in charge. 😁

It looks like we're up by 15 today. ☕

briskcanyon5 Asks:
What is Irfan even doing? Honestly—we need someone like Ante Kostelić to step in and show these softies how things are actually done. If we had that kind of leadership, I guess we’d be sweeping every trophy in sight over the next decade. 😁

Ante Kostelić isn't interested in handball. He once mentioned he walked away from the sport—mostly because of the referees. Apparently, he’d much rather have a woman officiating a game than a professional handball referee. I guess that's just how he feels about it.🤷

Can you blame a guy for not wanting people messing around with his hard work and struggles? I guess not.

P.S. — And honestly? He’s actually killing it on the slopes.
So, Ivica survived his descent in Kitzbühel today—barely. I guess he made it out in one piece.
And Natko—luckily enough!

+1 for our guys in this thriller! Kopljar starts from the opening whistle and I’m calling it now—he’s walking away with 5 assists...☕

If we end up with two massive goalie saves in the 54th minute, and they play just as sloppy as they have been so far, we’re dead meat for sure.☕ I mean, I’m really praying things turn around today—they better, or we might as well just start packing our bags right now.🙂

Of course, that assumes we sweep our own games too. But honestly, the Mexicans aren't going to win them all; I’ll put money on it 🙂

Well, looking at the massive holes in our defense right now, I don't think we're sweeping anything either... and I'll personally guarantee that...
God, I hope they play well enough to prove me wrong

Jeffrey Perez5 said:+15 for today. ☕

+5 but at Madison Square Garden 🙂 😂

Look, hopefully they’ll pull it together against the Argentines, but I’m terrified we’ll lose our momentum and go into that matchup against the Swedes totally flat after beating Argentina. We can't just drill tactics with these guys; we need to start working on their mental toughness, too.

Honestly, it’s just one giant tactical scam by our whole American squad, and we're basically handing everyone else a free 10-goal blowout on a silver platter.

Go Team USA☕

So, our guys play at 6:15 PM for the halftime break, right?☕

I guess Alilovic might end up making at least ten saves today, and maybe our guys could really hold their own against the Argentines. 😁

You’re going to be blown away when you see Alilovic and Kopljar out there today. They are more ready than ever. ☕

😁

I mean, we're bound to end up with this, what else could we expect? 🤷

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! Crush those rivals and clear the path! Today, I am pulling for Poland to beat Denmark, for Sweden to take down Mexico, and for us to conquer Argentina. It feels like anything is possible right now! We aren't just fighting for a spot in the semifinals; we have a legitimate shot at topping this group. If we finish first, we get a much easier matchup in the next round. A little bit of luck combined with our stellar performance, and everything will fall perfectly into place!

cosmicharbor2 said:Keep pushing, keep fighting, just give it everything you've got... I guess I'm rooting for Poland to beat Denmark, Sweden to take down Mexico, and for us to beat Argentina today—it feels like if all that falls into place, anything is possible. We might actually have more than just a slim chance at the semifinals; we could potentially finish first in our group, which would mean facing a much easier opponent in the next round, so maybe with a little bit of luck and some solid play from the team, everything will just work out perfectly.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "chance," because I suppose if we manage to win all three matches, we're pretty much guaranteed to move on.👍

rowdytinker3 said:Why is it a lost cause, since three wins and we're basically guaranteed a spot in the semifinals, right?

Yeah, I just don't have much faith that we'll actually pull off all three...
I was rewatching that game against the Danes... honestly, we didn't just lose, we straight up surrendered... looking back at that second half, those Danes didn't even play anything special or spectacular... when your goalie isn't making saves and the defense is nowhere to be found, I'm honestly shocked they didn't absolutely demolish us by ten or more... as for Mr. Slavko, the refs are the ones to blame, and Goluža isn't even worth the breath it takes to mention his name....

If we can't even take down Argentina, then honestly, we don't deserve to be in the semifinals at all!!
I mean, what's even the point of getting there if we can't handle a team like Argentina!

And then we can just put Irfan Smajlagić on the bench and starting from the next tournament, we'll be sweeping up every single gold medal out there!!

It would be awesome if he took over, but you'd definitely have to check with Gopac first to see if it's even an option.🤣
