2010 Handball Euro: Group I - America, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Australia, Russia

Total failure by this nation 🤣

I was wondering, how exactly did Vela calculate that the Frenchmen and the Poles were such a sure bet to advance from that other group?

That guy really overreached there.

Congratulations to the Icelanders, though I’ve gotta give some props to the Norwegians who fought hard too, even if they just ran out of steam in the end...
Major respect🙏🙏

So now I’ll be heading up to Mount Rainier to cheer for the Finns instead. 🙂

Jose Booth48 said:Yeah, I was actually wondering how old he is...

Man, watching that game, you can't even tell which team is the bigger choker... 🤦

The kid is only 19 and playing in Seattle. Honestly, if he stays healthy, I bet he’ll end up being the next big cornerstone for the national team, kind of like how Stefansson is doing everything for them right now.

Roger Allen3 said:man, he really went out on a limb there

I mean, that's just how Americans play, you know? They aren't gonna go all out against the French. They'll probably just coast through most of it and save their star players for later.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things develop during their time in Seattle.🙂

Man, if I were an Atlassian🙏 I’d have hit 10 out of 12 today, and honestly, that was all just from the game. I'm expecting the same kind of thing from Copland soon, once he finally gets his act together☕ I'm totally serious here☕

Joshua Gomez54 said:With that kind of mindset, Americans aren't going to give it their all against the French; they'll just play at half speed to save their star players for later.

I still don't think that's quite 100% correct.🙂

I mean, I don't think the Americans are really indifferent here; they’ll want to avoid any unnecessary drama in the semifinals. Either way, it’s probably smarter to steer clear of the squad featuring Copland.

If the Americans end up winning

The semifinals featuring France vs. USA

And in the other two scenarios

It could be France against Iceland

I honestly feel like everyone in France is rooting for the USA today 🙏

Why don't you ever see any people from the Finance sector playing handball?
Maybe the answer lies right in the name of the industry itself!

Maybe the answer is right there in the name of the country.

I was asking myself the exact same thing today.😁

huge win for Iceland, now it's our turn 😁 let's go boys 🙏🙏🙏

Quote:So,

Samuel Baker3 says: if the Americans make it through the semifinals are France vs. America but in the other two scenarios it’s France vs. Iceland I honestly think every single person in France is rooting for America today🙏

you're pulling for America too, aren't you?🙄

rowdytinker3 said:I found myself asking that exact same thing earlier today😁

Honestly, I bet the crew would just roll straight into practice from an Olympic ski jump or maybe right off the course of a cross-country rally. 🙂

By the way, the Americans are absolutely crushing the Russians right now. It's 1:10 PM here.

Oh, they exist—they just suck...

If I remember correctly, we played them in the qualifiers back in the day...
