The refs were actually pretty fair; if you look at the big picture, they gave us more than they took away, so there’s really no point in making a scene—it was a fair shake

We’re going to have to find a way to tear them apart on the offensive, otherwise there's zero chance we walk away with this; scoring nine goals in a half is just straight-up garbage

It’s looking good, we’re going to get 🙏

Seriously though, what is wrong with you guys? It’s just the same old story...

Now those Americans are going to start losing their cool because they're playing way better but just can't seem to break through, and 👋

It's honestly just solid defense paired with some really lackluster offense..

Look, it’s just one difference. It's nothing. If our guys had actually stepped up, they could've knocked out three or four goals in ten minutes and then just sat on the lead until the whistle blew.

Vori could've easily taken another two or three steps before actually making that move...

anyway, things are looking pretty tough out there—super intense...
we're gonna need to get a bit more creative—no more surprises or messing around with the defense. even Balić can't carry this whole thing on his own—he definitely needs some backup...

Their offensive pace is just way too sluggish, which makes it incredibly easy for the defense to shut them down.

There’s absolutely no transition game or fast breaks happening here; instead of picking up the tempo, they just seem to be dragging their feet whenever they try to push forward.

Who knows if he even saw the traffic light at that moment.🙂
Honestly, whatever. We've got an extra man on the field—even though that rarely helps us—and our offense is solid enough that we can pull an equalizer right after that play...

We’re playing like we’re up against Iceland or Austria or something... basically, the last ten minutes belong to us.😁We just have to survive the first twenty. They can't keep staying up by one or two goals; we need to be the ones setting the pace... but looking at how we're playing? Who knows. Maybe Lino should just offer his resignation in the locker room, because clearly, that’s what gets them moving.🤣

Man, what a massive difference in their playstyle... Did they just completely burn themselves out against the Danes? I honestly can't tell if this is on Lino or if the players are just gassing out early. 😕

I’m really hoping they find some rhythm during halftime... and that Mirko finally wakes up. I don't get why he keeps dropping so low on those shots when the ball is clearly being sent high. It doesn't even need to be a powerhouse strike; if it's just up there, it's going in. Omeyer is one of those rare keepers who stays upright through everything... I have no idea who coached them to defend like that...

Yeah, I caught the end of it, but I was just glancing at the internet on this tiny little screen. I couldn't make out the commentators or anything.

What a game 🤦 though I wouldn't be surprised if our resident tactical genius and master strategist manages to sort things out in the sequel ☕

🤣

Honestly, I don't have a great feeling about this. Given how they played, I suppose the result was actually pretty decent 🤮

Paul Lopez49 said:Man, I finished up right after that and tried checking the score online, but I was just looking at this tiny little window on my screen, so I couldn't really tell what was happening or make any sense of the commentators.

So, you don't have a TV? 😁 😉

It isn't mad, it's just magic, don't you think? 😕

Nothing is truly lost here. You can't expect to play with that same intensity every single day like we did against the Danes; we all knew the Polish side was going to be a powerhouse...

Is this really how they want to play? Honestly, seeing a game like this is exactly why I’ve never been much of a fan of the American national handball team, especially coming from over in Canada. I just can't bring myself to get behind that style of play.

hrt 👋

You won't believe 🙄

It’s absolute madness; we need a high-speed balloon traveling from wing to wing just to get an accurate count, because dealing with them is pure chaos... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhh h

We're winning.
Ref, just blow the whistle already.

🙂
