Someone nailed it earlier, hit the nail right on the head 100%... I mean, sure, the game looked pretty decent and was fun to watch, but let’s be real—nobody in America has players like that, and you definitely can't play a tournament like this style in the States... it’s just not how we do things here...

Do the Canadians even bother with defense, or are they just strictly an offensive team? 😲😁🤣

Neither.

I haven't really watched them yet during this tournament, but honestly, man, there isn't a single thing impressive about their play, let alone anything attractive about it.🤷

The Canadians basically committed suicide—all thanks to their own missed shots, sheer stupidity, and endless mistakes.

Giving up 21 goals by halftime actually tells you everything you need to know. When people start obsessing over how "beautiful" the game is, they’re always talking about the offense, but that has absolutely nothing to do with whether the actual performance was good or not. It honestly feels like Noka completely botched the pre-game prep.😁

Scoring 12 isn't exactly a disaster, but letting in 21? That's a total mess.

I just hope we don't play like that against objectively weaker teams like Iceland or Austria.😢

Down 12 isn't the end of the world, but being down 21? That's just embarrassing.

I didn't even watch them today... my connection is absolute trash right now..😠...but I've been saying it all along, they played like they were in some amateur tournament

Please, Noka? For him, Lino is the professor, period. Those Canadian players don't have a clue. He took a one-minute breather and told them exactly what I would've—run without thinking, then stare at each other wondering how we managed to give up three goals. So they did. They went out and played even worse for the rest of the half. People have been dragging Cervar for years, but honestly, it’s just pure American jealousy. It's not like the guy is perfect, but he's arguably the greatest American coach we've ever had. He's won everything; all that's left is European gold. But hey, you can't have everything in life. If our guys played like those Canadians, little Lino would be getting chased through Times Square. Someone mentioned yesterday that you can see the hand of a real coach in the Canadian style of play. Well, sure you can. Even kids don't play handball like that. Meanwhile, some "experts" here who claim to know everything about handball are just regurgitating garbage they read in Sports news, probably scribbling tiny notes on scraps of paper just so they can read them while typing their forum posts. I had a good laugh at that guy who actually plays handball seriously and is dissecting the tactics of goalies and flyers—except they aren't flyers, they're just readers. Honestly...

Sorry, it's not even worth getting worked up over 😉 I'm not watching the game either, but honestly, the score tells you everything you need to know—you don't even have to tune in to see how bad it is🤷

honestly, if the Czechs blow a nine-goal lead, they might as well just pack it up and head home🙂 because that would be an absolute circus...

It’s over. Noka is out. Maybe high-stakes handball just isn't your thing. 🤣

There would have been even more if that idiot Vid had actually stood up during the game and if Gajic hadn't stepped in. 😁
