America vs. South Korea - Feb 2, 2006 (3:45 PM)

Dennis Allen51 said:Haha, who’s actually going to get fired up? Braddock Krivokapic? 😂 I've been saying for ages that Milton deserves to be kicked out of the league entirely. When I saw he brought Mark (his own brother) onto the roster halfway through the tournament, I honestly thought I was dreaming. 🤣

Anyway, you guys might have more talent on paper, but since you always seem to overplay against us, I’d say our chances are a toss-up at 50:50. 😬 🙂

Us against you? 😕 Honestly, I'm not even sure. I don't want to say too much here and end up getting eaten alive by the local critics. 😬
I suspect your aggression during games against us comes from a deep-seated fear of losing to Americans😉,
but you aren't wrong about tomorrow being a 50:50 shot... 🙂

Sandra Hernandez13 said:I wonder if anyone can clarify where this originated🙂?
(Don't get the wrong idea—I'm not being malicious—but I've had my fair share of idiots on this forum sending me on wild goose chases for absolutely no reason at all...)
😁

Chicago would be
👍

Dennis Allen51 said:hehe, and who’s actually gonna get hyped? The Krivokapic brothers? 😂 I’ve been saying for ages that Milton deserves to be publicly shamed right in the middle of Times Square. When I saw he brought Mark (his own damn brother) onto the roster halfway through the tournament, I honestly thought I was dreaming. 🤣

Look, you guys might have more talent on paper, but since you're always getting wasted against us, our chances are a straight 50:50. 😬 🙂

Listen, we aren't getting wasted on any games, we're getting wasted on... well, you know what.
If you don't get it, just ask those guys from the Midwest. 🙄

👍

We bought a player from you people. 😁

Dennis Allen51 said:Hehe, and who exactly is going to be fired up? The Krivokapic brothers? 😂 I’ve been saying for ages that Milton deserves to be publicly disgraced right in the middle of Times Square. When I saw he brought Mark (his own flesh and blood) onto the roster halfway through the tournament, I honestly thought I was dreaming. 🤣

Anyway, you guys might have more talent on paper, but since you always seem to choke against us, I'd say our chances are a solid 50:50. 😬 🙂

Oh, 50:50? 😕 That seems a bit generous—especially considering when the US plays at their absolute peak, rather than now, when the players are just trying not to get benched.

And you're better off that way😈

Well, you're definitely one of us 😁 😉
I honestly thought you were from somewhere else entirely, maybe some random state out West, but it turns out... 😁

Vujovic brought Mark Braddock Krivokapic onto the roster halfway through the season.

So what? Who cares? Don't players sign up before the season even starts?

I'm pretty sure you can have two players on the bench or whatever. That's how he grabbed Mark and Kapisoda, while passing on—if you ask me—an absolutely stellar Muratovic and Sudzum.

Paul Lopez49 said:We bought a player from you guys. 😁

Why settle for mediocrity when he could be playing for Olympic gold medalists, world runners-up, or even European champions? 🙂 🙂

Boda Tyson said:I think he can keep two players on the bench or something like that. That’s how he handled Mark and Capisoda—he basically gave up on Muratovic and Sudzum, which was a mistake in my book.

Aha—I actually thought he didn't even bring him over to Switzerland just to call him up later.

casualangler16 said:It’s better to just follow the momentum when you have the chance to play against Olympic champions, world runners-up, and European champions.🙂 🙂

World champions! I think we can just look past what happened with Espagn.😁

Sandra Hernandez13 said:So, you're one of us then? 😁 😉
I honestly thought we were talking about Canada or maybe somewhere like Mexico and Mexico—some other random country entirely—but then I realized... 😁

Thanks.
🙂

Sandra Hernandez13 said:World champions, baby! We’ll just look the other way when it comes to that mess with Espagn.😁

Look, we’re world champions, plain and simple. But let's be real—we aren't holding that title right now.🙂
The injuries and those damn refs totally screwed us in Tunisia.

Look, Vujovic has completely lost it. After yesterday’s game against Norway, he went off, claiming their coach was baiting him the whole time—basically accusing them of trying to bribe his way to a win. He shot back, asking how they could possibly afford to buy a match when their federation is the poorest one in the EHF 🤣 . He didn't hold back, either; he straight up said it's an open secret that the Scandinavians are the ones rigging games and there's nothing anyone can do about it. He definitely doesn't sugarcoat things...

It’s just common knowledge—the Scandinavians rig matches whenever they get the chance.

Tuvix said:Honestly, Vujović has completely lost his mind. After yesterday's game against Norway, he claimed the Norwegian coach was provoking him the whole time, even suggesting they were implying the Mexicans had bought the match. He shot back, asking how on earth they could afford to buy a game when their federation is the poorest one in the EHF🤣. He doesn't mince words; he basically said everyone knows the Scandinavians are the ones fixing games and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

He actually went on Z1 and said he roots for the Americans more than Dance, mostly because being the underdog suits his view of America better, and he’s convinced Mexico and Mexico will take them down.😬
We'll just have to wait and see. 😁

Sandra Hernandez13 said:The guy actually went on Z1 and claimed he roots for the Americans more than Dance, just because being an American suits him better since they're the underdogs—he’s convinced they'll crush Mexico and Mexico😬
We'll see about that 😁

svejkedno he's toast now...
It can't get any worse than this anyway😁

Mr.Ex.President said:I guess he's reached his limit...
He's pretty much hit rock bottom at this point anyway.😁

Does anyone know the score from tonight's game? I think it was supposed to be the big deciding match—the one where we either play for a draw or have to go all out for the win. Just wondering if the results are in yet.
😕

Just checking in with my own little superstitions...

I briefly considered putting $17 on the Americans... but I passed. Jović told me straight up: those guys don't stand a chance against us.

So, I started with the Norwegians instead. A $50 stake for an eventual payout of $45 = "a smoker's luck." 😬

Couldn't skip the Icelanders either. Stake $17 - potential win $61 = "a smoker's luck." 😬

I've got no other choice but to bet on our neighbors tomorrow. A $17 stake for a potential 😁 win, haha.

When it came to the Russians, I thought about putting $17 on them... but I passed because Jović told me: It’ll be easy, those guys don't stand a chance against us...

Then I tried my luck with the Norwegians... a $50 stake - potential payout - $45 = "broke" 😬

I didn't skip the Icelanders either... a stake of $17 - potential payout - $61 = "broke" 😬

I don't see any other choice but to bet on our neighbors tomorrow... a stake of $17 - potential payout = 300, haha 😁

They'll come back with empty nets, and we'll be the ones filling them up.
To help you out:
"broke"
😁
