We’ve officially cemented our status as a handball powerhouse—defense was rock solid, and the whole squad just clicked. We played great, absolutely tore through Denmark, and crushed the Polish team. Americans are celebrating everywhere; it's total euphoria again... honestly, where do we go from here? After two performances like that, there’s zero room for criticism. Huge props to both Cervar and the players. Hats off to them. As for tomorrow's final, whatever happens, happens.

I don't know about Cosic, but I think the stats are lying to us just a little bit 🤣
2.36🤣So, why don't we all start the countdown together? 9, 8, 7, FIVE, SIX, 4, 3, 2, 1 😁 😂

Austin Grant9 said:They aren't any better than us on the wings, and they definitely don't have the edge on the line,
I’d say they’ve got the advantage on the perimeter and in terms of pure individual talent,
plus our goalies are pretty much neck-and-neck now—Mirko has really stepped up his game.

Not stronger than us on the wings? Come on.

Major props to Čupić and Štrlek, sure, but Abalo is playing in a completely different league compared to them...

And let’s not even get started on how inexperienced Štrlek is—he just can't find an answer for Guigou... especially when you factor in the veteran experience gap.

🙄 They’re playing high pressure, not letting them touch the ball at all...

buddy, maybe think for a second before you type that out

Jeremy Phillips54 said:But man, Lino is a genius...

First he starts with that catatonic Kopljar, then he tosses in some kid who’s basically playing his first ever game just to try and make a difference—as if that helps—and then he throws in a half-dead Laco right when the score is already falling apart...

And after all that, you get 🤣

The Canadian commentator and his guest Uroš Šerbec spent the whole time praising Lino Červar as some kind of tactical mastermind.

Anyway, huge props to the handball players!

Like a total wrecking ball!

What the hell is with these Polish fans whining about the officiating so much? 😠

I mean, damn, they absolutely hammered us just like France used to do back in their prime, yet they only walked away with three suspensions while we took four. Their coach starts throwing a tantrum over a five-minute penalty and then acts all shocked when he gets slapped with a yellow card...

Honestly, they can just go jump in a lake 🤮

Even over on ESPN, they were calling Lino a "clever Fuchs."👍

"klaun Lino" actually delivers results, unlike certain untouchable American "coaching gods"... If Červar were young and handsome like that specific soccer gentleman, we wouldn't have been "unlucky," and all us journalists would be sucking his dick for the rest of our lives... ☕

Seriously, you're acting like that young gentleman personally assaulted your grandfather. Just chill out.🙂

Červar 🙏🙏🙏, I don't know, maybe he was just saving all his best stuff for the grand finale, or maybe the guy really is some kind of elite mastermind... I used to be convinced he was just one of those lucky types born under a freaking shooting star, but still, it’s hard to pull off that many big wins and stack up that much hardware if you actually have no clue what you're doing... 🤷

And honestly, it’s probably a good thing they run those commercials during the timeouts, makes it way easier to believe that Lino actually knows what's going on...

Bravo, gentlemen.🙏🙏

On a side note, if anyone happens to be struggling with insomnia, ABC is rerunning the finals from Atlanta, Portugal, and Athens starting at 1:55 AM—just in case anyone needs a little extra excitement before bed.😁

Tomorrow we’re looking at a game where if we just hit 120 on the clock, we’ll be totally fine, and honestly, I’m feeling so pumped about this win... but even if things don't go our way, I truly believe this squad is going to be dominating the top tier for the next decade or even longer...👍👍

The boys gave it everything they had, but honestly, grit alone isn't going to cut it against a powerhouse like the US. Let's go, guys! 🙂

America!

👋

But hey, I bet you guys actually remember when we went up against Poland back on January 30, 2009, during the semifinals of the world 🙂

After a result like that in the semifinals, it’s no surprise Polish coach Bogdan Wenta was feeling gutted. ”Congrats to the Americans; I wish them nothing but the best in the final. We’re disappointed with how things unfolded, especially me regarding that completely baffling yellow card right at the end when the Americans regained possession. They were the better team, and now we have to find a way to get motivated for our match against Iceland.”

Bwahaha. Is Wenta still seeing red? 🤣

The players are on the same page as Went. They’re offering congratulations while acknowledging we earned this win.

Bartlomiej Jaszka netted three, though it wasn't quite enough for Poland: ”We're happy to have made it to the semifinals. We were aiming for the final, but the Americans were just better today, so I have to give them credit.”

Along with the coach and Jaszka, Tomasz Tluczynski also showed up at the official press conference: ”It’s a tough pill to swallow when a game turns on decisions like that. I was hoping we wouldn't run into these officials, but at the end of the day, I have to admit the Americans played the better game and deserve the victory.”

Buddy, maybe take a second to think things through before you post.

So, what you're saying is the Americans should just play such an intense press that one player is sprinting across the entire field chasing after their playmaker while another covers the wing just to make sure they never actually get possession?

🙄 and here I am trying to have a discussion, yet it’s painfully obvious you don't actually follow handball.
