USA vs. France

It appears my predictions were correct. Furthermore, the timing is much more convenient for me.

We simply have to win this...

You have my vote, though it might be wise if Vanya wrote the introduction just to ensure the entire constellation aligns perfectly.😬

Joel Abati is just as much of a menace as Karabatic and Guiga combined.

The Danes are absolutely crushing the Spaniards and us Frenchmen too

Jonathan Booth5 The user said:Look, you've got my voice down, but it’d be way better if Vanya wrote the intro. That way, the whole damn constellation actually lines up perfectly.😬

So, I went ahead and mapped out some of my own strategies...

And then let Vanya go ahead and hit us with that pessimism.😁

Not yet... we’ve still got to make it through the finals!😬

Look, if we lose, you guys can all go straight to hell for all I care—I'm not banning anyone. Period.😬

The French were great this past Saturday,

😬We'll be celebrating Spain this Sunday

Please, let’s not allow boldhound8 to be the one to kick off this thread; I have a rather uneasy feeling about it 😁

Sandra Hernandez13 The user said:The French were absolutely killing it this Saturday!

We’re going after Spain this Sunday. 😬

Those bastards totally screwed us against the Danes.😠
Kill that Frenchman!😁

Frenchmen, man... I’ve been watching them for a while now, and honestly? They aren't all that special. They're basically nothing more than the Danes or the Russians. Nothing major there.
I am seriously losing my mind over our defense and those damn referees. How are we supposed to actually enjoy watching handball when we have to spend the entire game stressing out about whether the refs are going to screw us over again? It's exhausting.😠 )

Arthur Martinez7 said:Don't let boldhound8 start this thread, I've got a bad feeling about this😁

Get lost, loser😁

boldhound8 is riding with those handball guys from Portugal and he does it every single damn game on this Forum...Always following their little rituals and lately, he’s just calling everyone an idiot😁

Also, I'm calling it now: Iceland and Denmark +1😍
I'm a prophet...Moses is nothing compared to me😬

Oh boy, looks like there’s no poll today... thank God that old timer finally hung up his jersey and walked away from handball 🤣 man, he and Richardson were already the veterans back when they were playing in Atlanta 😍

The French, huh? It's just a rerun of what happened against Tunisia... seriously 😬

I don't give a damn who's opening up—my only concern is that frozentiger6 starts getting pessimistic.

Mr.Ex.President said:Those bastards screwed us over against the Danes😠
Kill the French instead😁

The French are just the French... looking at them, it’s really nothing to worry about. They aren't any more intense than a Danish team or even Russia.
I'm more worried about our defense and those damn referees (it reminds me of watching handball, where we always seem to be terrified of the officiating)😠 )

Forget the refs, we'll just overpower them😬
What scares me most is our own inconsistency—an off day on offense combined with a leaky defense... 😢
Without those three specific tactical traps, we don't stand a chance... 😍

Mr.Ex.President said:Get lost, jerk😁

The MEP is always siding with those handball fans from Portugal, and they show up on this forum every single match... I respect tradition, I follow the rituals, and lately, I’ve even started calling out fools when I see them.😁

And I'm predicting a win for Iceland and Denmark, so count me in for +1.😍
I am a prophet... Moses is nothing compared to me.😬

First off, don't try those fanboy tactics on me; I've been following the Portuguese scene since the beginning, attending every away game... So what if I have? 🙂 😁

Secondly, Moses wasn't actually a prophet.😁

Balic might be sitting at third on the league scoring list, but if you look closely, most of those guys ahead of him just padded their stats with penalty kicks. In my book, Balic is the real top scorer here.

Then there's Sola in the net. Sure, his save percentage might not look flashy, but when you look at the raw volume, he’s absolutely crushing it—averaging 13 saves per game.

Everyone else in the league is trailing him by two or more.

Of course, part of the reason he's seeing so much action is because we basically don't have a backup goalie. We're riding with him whether we want to or not.

He was likely referring to Nostradamus 🤣

What, were you supposed to be Moses? 😉
