Samuel Walker7 said:The FINALS... man, the Americans are playing tomorrow.

I guess we need some payback for that World Cup final loss. 😁

🙏 🙏

Does anyone know what time the championship game starts? I totally lost track.

Maria Fowler39 said:Counting down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3... haha, brilliant job, Ćosić.

🤣🤣🤣

See ya, Poland! 🙂

The Finals - American vs. French matchup 😁

🙏🙏

Chris Lopez59 said:And what makes it even worse was how he kept complaining about nothing, right at the moment when it just didn't make any sense...

It wasn't really for nothing, though; for us Americans, that meant playing two minutes down with only five players on the field, so isn't it just ridiculous to start whining when you haven't even conceded a goal? Your guys managed to defend themselves, yet you spent the entire game just looking for a fight.

With the way we played..🙂 against the French..

silver is basically in the bag ☕

Honestly, we couldn't even handle the French back when our national team was three times stronger than this.

But whatever, silver is ours, and honestly, it’s way more than anyone expected from this young squad.

Basically an ad for Bavaria 🤣

With the way we're playing right now... especially against the French...🙂
I’d say a silver medal is pretty much in the bag.

😕

Where did you even come from? Seriously, the guy is clearly injured, and it feels like every time he takes a hit on the turf, the wound just rips wide open again.

Gregory Ramos3 said:They ran a 5-1 set for maybe fifteen minutes—with Vori leading the charge...

Defense wasn't even an issue at any point during this game 😉

There was definitely a stretch where Bielecki and Lijewski were just tearing us apart from the perimeter because nobody was even bothering to step up and close out on them...

Honestly, that was a phenomenal result. It’s basically the gold standard—even if they end up dropping twenty points to the French, this performance alone was nothing short of masterclass.

expected in the finals 🙏

I put my money on Team USA to take it all—odds were at 7... but I totally choked on the NBA 🤦

Mirko Alilović 🙏

Americans going head-to-head with Shmal - Vori and Gojun 🤦

Drago and his little counting game 😂 .... just wait until he starts showing up at the national soccer matches 🙂

"Look, don't go getting all arrogant on me now..." 🙂 😎

Huge congratulations to everyone. It’s a bit of a bummer, though, seeing how dominant the French team is—we always seem to end up settling for silver when they're in the mix.
But hey, maybe they’re underestimating us and will come in a little too relaxed... if that happens, we should definitely take advantage of it.

Honestly, who cares? The French need to grab that gold... it doesn't affect us one bit... if anything, it’s just a massive win for us

Samuel Baker3 said:Fair point. His replacement really stepped up, which might actually be a win for the Poles.

Those two brothers just proved my point: they're overrated.

Alright, but at this point, it’s getting ridiculous how Bill vanishes whenever there's a big game on the line.
The brothers at least show some hustle, but this guy? He just disappears. Like he isn't even on the field.
As soon as Mike shut down that low shot of his, he completely checked out of the game.
A total disaster of a player.

People around here would say: It’s a done deal. 🤣🤣

Kljajić, you're a legend 🙏🙏

the money is practically in the bag ☕

That’s just because he isn't Hercegovac...☕

Adam Collins4 said:There was a time when we’d just get absolutely shredded by Bill and Lijewski because nobody would even bother stepping up to meet them on the perimeter...

Honestly though, those are just minor details at this point... It always takes them a little while to find their rhythm and get everything balanced out perfectly

I don't even expect anyone to play flawless defense for a full 60 minutes straight... If we're looking at 10 goals in the first half and maybe 11 in the second, I'd say that's actually some pretty solid defensive work if you ask me...

What a game! That first half was 🤦 but the second half? Absolute dominance, a total masterclass. 🙏

Huge win for our guys 🙏

Tomorrow we take on the Giants. Honestly, I couldn't care less if we lose, but man, hats off to the team—especially to Lin 🙏. Such a performance.

We really need to watch our backs, though. ☕

Maria Fowler39 said:What time does the championship game start? I totally missed the announcement.

I don't think they've actually set it yet—they're probably still messing around with the scheduling again...
