Looks like our national team is just getting warmed up for the quarterfinals.

Honestly, I'd take a matchup against Iceland over playing the French in the quarterfinals any day.

Let the Spaniards and the French tear each other apart in the quarterfinals. We’ll be heading to NYC to face Iceland.🙂

The only thing I don't get is how they think letting Curry rest helps him?! Like, by playing him through the game?

I mean, I don't know—Ballich has been making a lot of mistakes lately, hasn't he?

Don't go tempting fate... otherwise, the guys won't have much of a challenge left on their hands...

way too many people selling out their reputation 🙏

Man, look at Lino go on the offensive! 🤣 😲But for what exactly?

So, we're looking at a solid +5 gain here.

mirza đ. 🙄

Maybe we'll actually pull it off—at least I hope so. It would be a total blowout if we could just crush this losing streak, wouldn't it?

We’re playing like garbage, but the Spaniards are actually looking solid—their defense is holding up. Maybe there’s something to be said about them keeping their full arsenal under wraps for now. 😉

Besides, this game is still anyone's guess.

Letting this lineup run for maybe 15 minutes just to get everyone loose, then we'll take a breather.

Lackovic isn't even playing at half capacity, he's basically a ghost on the field 🤮

Man, we looked absolutely pathetic out there today. What’s the real kicker? We won't even know if this slump is just a temporary glitch or if we're actually heading downhill until the quarterfinals hit. Is this just a bad run, or are we seeing the new reality?

Heading to the living room to catch the game—there’s zero space for a TV in my room. I'll be back to argue about it later. 😁

that kind of overconfidence could really bite us in the ass if things go south👍

Best lineup ever, and I’m still giving them a minus 5
hm..

it's still anyone's game.

You know what Lino would be doing if he absolutely had to win this... he'd probably be hanging onto the shot clock for dear life and pelting them with water bottles in this freezing weather... but look at him... so, what's the verdict? 😍

😉👍

well, it might, or it might not...☕

It’s like this guy actually gets a kick out of us losing 🙄 stop breathing down the players' necks so much 😉
