But what exactly is the issue here?😕 😕

Venio is going to lose his mind.

I’m calling it now—it’ll probably happen within the next few days.

Since Kim is keeping an eye on this forum, I truly hope he’s managed to convey the general sentiment of the American public to our goalkeepers. Perhaps a bit of televised reality might finally shake them up and get them focused. 👋 👋

wiredseal7 said:Look, our bench depth is actually way better this year, regardless of what those people in Denmark think. From how things are looking, it seems like someone’s just gonna play through the pain on Balica (but hey, that’s basically what everyone loves to do anyway).

If Metla and Blaž actually stepped it up and played like they should, we wouldn't even need to rely on playing through injuries.😉

I’m just sitting here hoping that Fojer actually prints out all these instructions of yours and passes them straight along to Cervar! 👍 😬

So when's the game actually starting? I think I read somewhere on a few posts that it kicks off at 6:15

It's at 8:15 PM...

How’s the bracket set up for the quarterfinals? Is it G1-H4, G2-H3 and so on, or what...

Exactly.🙂

A1 vs B4
A2 vs B3
A3 vs B2
A4 vs B1

Just keep in mind they probably didn't call the groups A and B, more like Group 1 and Group 2.

Just heard on the radio that Dominiković’s second test came back negative, so it looks like Trupac will most likely be back for the quarterfinals👍

We’ll be out of here by then.😬

If the test came back negative, why can't they just let him back in right now? Seriously. If it's not happening today, then it better be happening tomorrow!

If the result is negative, why can't they just switch back immediately? If not today, then tomorrow...

Because they already submitted the rosters for the next round. At least, that's what they told us.😠

Scott Collins30 said:I just caught an update on the radio—apparently, Dominiković’s second test came back negative. It looks like we can pretty much expect Trupac to make his comeback during the quarterfinals.👍

It honestly would have been better if they had just played against the Spanish side. They would have done us a massive favor, and frankly, it would've been a win-win for everyone involved. We could have really used that kind of help. 🙏They’re going to target their star player—maybe it’s Iker or someone else in that rotation—until he’s completely sidelined. If they need a little extra help to seal the deal, they’ll just pick up a red card in the first ten minutes of the half and leave themselves shorthanded.👍

Scott Collins30 said:because they already submitted the roster for the next round, unfortunately. At least that’s what they told us.😠

Yeah, I didn't even think of that. 🤔

But whatever, it is what it is. We're going after the gold with Davor.🙏

...things should work out fine with Davor. Still, we have to be honest with ourselves: those wild counterattacks of his were a disaster, especially when he starts sprinting from the center circle before anyone else even realizes what's happening. And guess

We're gonna have them for dinner 🙂

Scott Collins30 said:They already submitted the rosters for the next round, at least that's what they told us.😠

We submitted them because everyone assumed Davor wouldn't be able to play. If they were actually being fair, they'd let him play immediately and hand out some serious penalties to the officials.

boldhound8 said:Exactly🙂

A1-B4
A2-B3
A3-B2
A4-B1

Except I don't think they're called groups A and B... more like M1 and M2

yeah, just saw today that the groups actually got names. so, we're heading to Iceland. or maybe Tunis. sticking with Iceland though...

😲

👋...and then they'll have a spot right there on my avatar.🙏
