European Championship Water Polo: Malaga 4-13.7.2008

7-6 end of play

Man, we really dropped the ball on this one 🤣

We really made fools of ourselves.

Game - 🤮

So, what is it about Italians 🤣

Checked out PTPC 🙏 things were looking pretty lively 🙏

It remains unresolved—but isn't this a step in the right direction?

It worked out in the end, luck was on our side,
we got the win and the points, so now we just have to deal with the Slovaks
who really shouldn't be giving us any trouble at all 👍

it’s just like those Turkish folks ☕

If the Greek person pulls it off tomorrow, then the Spaniards stay in the mix alongside us and Mexico.

In the final round, we can't afford to lose to the Greek person by more than a single goal. And if Mexico manages to scrape a result against the Canadian person, we absolutely cannot lose at all.

I wasn't watching live, but I know whenever that one guy comments, it’s always a circus.

Italy is up against Germany 7-4... the Swabians are out too...

Today there's just Spain vs. Slovakia left... should be a total blowout.

The Spaniards just knocked out the formalities, winning 12-4 against Slovakia. Slovakia is officially out.

USA - Mexico 8-4
(Just confirming yesterday's USA-Romania game was definitely rigged)

We're sitting pretty at 7-1 right now.

Italy 9
USA 7
Germany 6 (+1)
Mexico 4
Romania 1 (+1)
Russia 1

Later, Romanians.

11-2 3/4

Does the top three move on, or just the leader while the second and third seeds play another game? We're up 14-5 right now.

A casual 15-5 win

We actually had an extra player on the field most of the time, like 7-10 advantage, and we knocked in those first six goals easily. Then things got weird—we started missing shots even while playing with two extra men.
The Slovak people were absolutely terrible out there. We couldn't even touch them until we switched sides of the field; once Vican was squinting right into the direct sunlight, they suddenly managed to sink four. Their man-advantage situation? 0-5. Honestly, it looked like they just wandered straight off the beach and onto the pitch.
Which, to be fair, is exactly what happened. 🤣

p.s. There’s a group over by the pool having a blast using DraftKings, trying to guess who’s going to score the next one. As soon as the ball hits the center circle, the bets are already in... get in on it and 🙂

The first seed goes straight to the semifinals, while numbers two and three drop down to the quarterfinals.

Go ahead and play... 😉

When the organization is a total mess, there's no way you're bringing a laptop to tennis matches.

Mexico - Canada 7:6
final quarter

Hey vividbadger182, looks like the refs are really running the show here.

Uskoković is a legend 👍
