So, what’s the deal with being skinnier now? 😍

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

What do you know about handball? One minute they're riding high on a winning streak... and the next, they've completely fallen off the rails... 🤣

I can't help but laugh 🤣 when things just aren't meant to be...

Is this a comeback? 😁

Scenario one: The Czechs have to fall

bwahaha 🤣 😂

anyway, let's see what happens tomorrow... the whole scenario where expensive-Nora-now-has-to-fall apart. 😂

Robert Cruz5 said:Man, forget Nora—Linus is the professor here, seriously. Those Canadians don't have a clue. He took a one-minute breather and basically told them exactly what I’d say to their faces: "Stop running around like headless chickens, look at each other, and figure out why we just gave up three goals." So they did. They actually listened, regrouped, and played even better through the end of the half. People have been dragging Cervar for years now, but honestly, it's just pure American jal. Look, he isn't perfect—nobody is—but he's easily the best American coach we've ever had. He’s won everything there is to win; all that's left is European gold. But hey, you can't have everything in life, right? And if our guys played with half the heart those Canadians showed, little Linus would be getting chased through Times Square. Someone said yesterday that you can see the touch of a real coach in the Canadian style. Well, yeah, you can. Even the kids over there play handball with actual technique. Meanwhile, we've got "experts" here who think they know everything about the sport just because they read some fluff in Sports news and scribbled some bullet points on a napkin to read from when they post on this forum. I had a good laugh at that guy claiming to be a serious player while dissecting goalkeeper techniques—he’s not an athlete, he’s just a guy who reads manuals. Honestly...

You're right, you're clearly the genius here...

Comparing our roster to the Canadian squad...🤦

But sure, go on—Link has such "constructive" tactical instructions... you know, the kind where he just yells that we need to go out there and win... could you have come up with that yourself, or would you have needed a personal assistant to help you find the words?

Pardon me, but Link's tactics are driven by the players themselves... I never saw that happen with Nora... not here, and not back in Kiel... I don't know how things work in a massive club like Metallurg, so I won't pretend to speak on that...

And please, enough with the ad hominem attacks. Go study the actual facts, otherwise, you just look ridiculous and uneducated... anyway, whose clone are you?

It’ll probably end up at -4 or -5 because the refs are clearly playing favorites with John.

If they don't make a comeback right now, they never will 🙄

how exactly do you stage a comeback when you're starting from ten feet under?

There it is. 30-34.

If the refs hand out another double technical on the Czechs, things could get ugly fast.

Suddenly we're down four... nice job calling that timeout, coach.

that was a total penalty 😁

(rooting for John 😲)

-3 ☕

The Czechs have fallen behind on pace; things are about to get interesting...

And you're right, Linek has such constructive TOs... where he just screams at us to go win a game... I guess you wouldn't even know how to explain that without an assistant, would you?

Actually, pardon me, but Linek's TOs are driven by the players... I haven't seen that from Noka... not here, and not in Kiel... I have no idea how it works at a massive club like US Steel, so I won't comment on that...

Can we please drop the ad hominem attacks? Go study the actual facts, otherwise you just look ridiculous and uninformed... anyway, whose clone are you?

And there you go—the handball expert who knows everything. I'm nobody's clone, but you're definitely a clown.

Man, they really blew it this time. 👎

Philip really missed the mark on that one.

31-36

It's game over.

The Czechs definitely earned that win.

France and Poland are tied at 5 points each.

Spain is the only team with a real shot at catching up with 3 points, though I wouldn't bet on it.🤷
