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

Madman😁😁😁

I only ever place bets when we're going up against the Russians or those other guys😁 I just don't want to drop my cash again by picking the wrong side😁

By the way, the Danes beat Norway 35:31... honestly, I wasn't expecting anything else.
The more I think about it, a draw would be enough for us, but let's go for both wins instead👍

How much am I even counting

Balić is leading the championship in assists with 21 total🙏

Sulić is hands down the clumsiest guy based on this crappy stat sheet😲 I don't get all these heroics and abbreviations, but how much am I counting if he's got 8 yellows, 5 suspensions, and 23 fouls😁

Balić is the best thief out there😁 meaning steals... totaling 13, or about 2.6 per game🙏
Pero is sitting at 4th with 7

In blocks, Pero is only 20th with 5 blocks, and we push that stat way too hard....

Turnovers are highest for Balić with 21, or basically 4.3 per game.. shame on you😠
😁😁 For every one of his turnovers, five real ones happen elsewhere😉

Šola is the 10th best goalie in the tournament with a 36% save rate🙂

Just got bored so figured someone might actually care

All this applies to the first 5 games... today's results aren't in the stats yet

Balić was actually the top scorer out there since everyone else was too busy shooting free throws.

Fantastic 👍

Maybe we should just wrap this game up quickly so we can move into the semifinals. Once we're in the final four, I guess anything is possible. I'm really hoping we make it all the way to the championship.

Mr.Ex.President said:Sulić[/B] is the most aggressive guy according to this damn stat sheet😲 I don't get all these hero stats and abbreviations, but how many guys am I knowing have 8 yellows, 5 suspensions, and 23 fouls?😁

Lost balls are highest for Balić at 21, or even 4.3 per game... honestly, shame on him😠

Anyway, these two things are totally unrelated😁

If you just look at the stats, you'd think Balić just throws the ball away for fun😁 That 4.3 average is massive for handball

And poor Sulić, through no fault of his own, is the most aggressive player in the championship🤣 Considering all those other guys out there who are gouging eyes, breaking ribs, and throwing punches🙄
It's crazy😁 On top of all that, he’s got 3 more suspensions from today being added to his tally😁

I honestly couldn't care less about these statistics; they serve no purpose other than being a giant fabrication. If we actually relied on these numbers, the US wouldn't stand a chance at reaching the semifinals, yet here we are, practically stepping into them already.
I truly believe our chances are sitting at sixty percent, especially considering how we shut down the Icelanders within the first five minutes of play today. It’s a shame we can't bring that Olympic level of intensity to the European Championships, though I suppose those victories wouldn't taste quite this sweet if they were.

Not really, man.😁
Look, we all know statistics are basically like a bikini😁—they show you the essentials but hide the rest.

Sure, there's some twisted garbage in there, like tracking lost balls or who the roughest player on the court was, but whatever, it's technically accurate.

But then you've also got those numbers that actually make your heart race,😍 you know, like goal counts, assists, or steals.😍

Being stuck offline during the European Championship is an absolute nightmare. It’s impossible to actually follow the handball without checking in here for updates...

So, what happens if we pull off a win tomorrow? Are we moving on or what?

We’re going to take this, man... 👋 I can hardly wait.

brighttiger6 said:So what happens if we just pull off a win tomorrow? Or what???

A tie works too, I guess.🙂
But we're going for the win. Period.😈

Look, I love you guys, I really do, but you’re seriously driving me up the wall here.😁

I’ve already explained this ten different times: we’re perfectly fine with either a draw or a win.😁
Is it actually that hard to check the news on your phone or just look at internet sites?

My apologies, everyone; I’ve been a bit scattered. I was offline for a few days, and frankly, I'm not quite sure what to do next. I've returned here in the hope that you all might be able to offer some assistance...

Why bother when we have boldhound8?

Just give it another 15 minutes, she'll be heading to bed soon.
🤣

Roger Allen3 said:hold on, give it 15 minutes—she’ll be passed out asleep by then🤣

🤣 🤣

By the way, Roger Allen3—check your avatar and location: you're listed as being in America😂 😂

Sandra Hernandez13 said:I mean, why even bother when we’ve got boldhound8 on our side?
😁

There’s always some absolute madman on duty, isn't there? Always.🙂
Just like on the message boards.🤣

Roger Allen3 said:Hang tight for like 15 more minutes. She’s about to pass out any second now. 🤣

Get bent.🤣
Do you even remember all that absolute garbage?🤣

I don't even know if there are ten people on this entire forum who get less sleep than I do, and yet here I am, getting picked on by this guy right now.😁
What else am I gonna do? I gotta catch a flight... and I have to be up at 6:30 in the morning. Absolute nightmare.😢

James Vaughn3 said:it’s pretty standard for those Scandinavians to rig games whenever they feel like it.

Let's not forget that whole mess with the Denmark-Sweden 2:2 match—the exact scoreline needed to send the Italians packing from the group stage at the EP.🙂
Of course, that final goal dropped right at the buzzer... staged perfectly, obviously.

We beat them all in the end, though. It's a shame the Swedes aren't even at the EP—how on earth did they miss out on qualifying?

Mr.Ex.President said:Go screw yourself.🤣
I can't believe you're bringing up this absolute nonsense.🤣

I honestly don't know if there are even ten people on this entire board who sleep less than I do, yet here he is, picking a fight with me.😁
Anyway, I'm heading to bed... I have to be up by 6:30 tomorrow morning.😢

😍

Why on earth are you waking up at 6:30? Don't tell me you actually have to get all dolled up in the morning? 🤣

Oh, please... just make sure you're in your seat by 3:45 PM, ready for whatever comes your way, and all will be forgiven.👍 😁

Roger Allen3 said:😍

Why on earth are you up at 6:30 AM? It’s not like you don't have to get all dolled up first, right? 🤣

Give me a break... just show up at 3:45 PM ready to go and everything is forgiven. 👍 😁

Yeah, gotta get some stuff done first, then I'm heading out for a drive.🙂

I'll be there even earlier, I had to cancel my whole dream... that's why I'm dragging myself out of bed at 6.😁

Of course, that final goal dropped right at the death. Totally scripted.

We beat them all, though it's a shame the Swedes aren't at the EP either. By the way, how on earth did they miss out on qualifying?

Not sure about the Swedes—I think they played like garbage in Tunisia, which is why they're missing the EP.

And when I brought up match-fixing earlier, I was talking specifically about that game.
