World Handball Championship: USA vs. Spain - 30:29

I didn't have a shred of faith in our guys tonight, just like I didn't a year ago when we faced the Poles... honestly, I don't even believe we can pull this off by the end but fine, let's call it a third attempt, and maybe we'll get lucky a third time too

A kid playing for the Cleveland squad told me it was perfectly fine, though even I found the whole thing a bit bizarre.

So where the hell are the statements???

And I’m just as done with FOX. ☕

In my view, the biggest loss is Pavlovic—it’s a damn shame he’s sidelined with an injury right now; he is absolutely
essential for playmaking when the offense hits a creative wall. And Obrenovic could also
be a major asset if he finds his rhythm... Regardless, we have a legitimate shot at finally grabbing that European gold we’ve been chasing...
Even though we've let quite a few gold medals slip through our fingers, this semifinal puts us in the middle of
some incredible stats:
From 2003 to the present day at major tournaments (World, European, Olympic), the US has reached the semifinals 15 times out of 19 tournaments—an unparalleled run of success!
Even a powerhouse like France, despite having 8 golds, has "only" managed 14 semifinals during that same stretch 😁

You’re clearly joking here... or are you talking about next year?

I just checked the rulebook and yeah, it's totally fine. I'd bet my life that back in my ten years in this industry, they wouldn't have let us get away with it.

Man, you’re freaking legendary

Seriously, just give him a lifetime contract already 😁

Giving all the credit to Our Lady of Medjugorje and Jesus... Seriously? 🙏 🙏

The Lady and Mamč pulled off the win today 🙏

Babić is out of his mind 😬

Giving thanks to the Virgin Mary and Jesus. 🙏🙏🙏

The prophet is truly the greatest king, haha. I honestly don't know what else there is to say about him. The man just marches to the beat of his own drum and couldn't care less about anything else.

Back then, there was no such thing as a miracle shot or an empty netter, so you guys weren't even thinking about taking a shot on goal anyway.😁

The mission is finally underway👍

Babić is the king. Seriously.

Bless you, prophet, may your cup always runneth over.

"The American heart and its devotion to the homeland have triumphed"

But I mean, how exactly did the Spaniards collapse once they lost their edge? You know, losing the momentum from guys like Josip Broz Tito in soccer, or Tomić over in basketball, or even Kopljar right here 🙂

Before Alilović, it's just another choke at Kopljar's spot.

The first game of the season and we actually managed to stay consistent without those weird gaps or total collapses in our play... and honestly, it was probably the most crucial matchup to get right
Cap off a great win, boys

Of course they can. It’s not like football or basketball where you’re tossing the ball back in from out of bounds. In handball, you have to stay behind the line when you're taking a throw-in.
