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

I’m honestly convinced we’re pulling this off right now, even though we haven't looked this bad in years compared to that golden generation...

Babic is a straight-up legend. Honestly, he earned this after all the trash talk and the absolute circus everyone put him through.

One should perhaps refrain from excessive enthusiasm just yet.🙂

Congrats to the handball guys.
So, what’s the prophet saying? What’s his take on how 🤣😁
actually pulled off that win? Mamić, Zlaja, Steve 🙏 🙏 🙏

It’s always the same story when the biggest cheats in the sports world start whining about the refs.🙂

You're absolutely right.

Look, everyone at this tournament is complaining about the officiating.🤣
But honestly? They aren't wrong—the officiating has been absolutely pathetic across the board.🤦

Those Spaniards are used to having at least a 30% head start in every single sport they enter. And the second things don't go their way? They immediately run to the press to play the victim. 🤦

They only slapped a 20% penalty on them yesterday, which seems completely unacceptable. I’d love to see the data showing exactly which second they call a passive play against us versus when they turn a blind eye for them.

Oh my God, thank You for everything,
America is making it to the finals,
to the finals, all the way to Paris,
The Mona Lisa will be celebrating us

Yesterday, they were barely getting a 20% tilt in their favor, which—I mean, honestly—is pretty unacceptable... I’d love to see some actual data showing exactly which second they call a passive play on us versus when they do the exact same thing.

man...
take a 30-point beating, and then you've got Canellas coming out and claiming they lost simply because they didn't score enough. 😛

Yesterday, we barely got a 20% tilt in our direction, which is honestly unacceptable... I’d love to see the data on exactly which second they call a passive play foul on us versus when they call it on them.

Once they missed that penalty, we just completely fell apart—missing wide-open shots, then those flops from Muse, and then those missed two-minute penalties. In those final two minutes, unknown was basically calling shots for the other side, along with a bunch of other calls going against us.

To hell with them.

Honestly, if those crooks actually got caught, I guess they could just start playing curling instead. They’d probably end up hiring themselves as the referees there too, haha

You’ve just gotta forgive him.

For any die-hard fan of Mamić's, there’s no such thing as a Jimmy boat.

It’s strictly Jimmy ship territory. ☕

dustypanther6 said:Since nobody seems to be answering me, I’ll just ask again in case someone actually decides to chime in: since when was it legal to score directly from a throw-in?

It’s always been allowed...

Think about handball—there isn't really an "out of bounds" or a "corner kick" in the way we think of it...

You've just got throw-ins, throw-outs, and the goalie restarting play after coming out from the crease—basically, any restart is a live ball situation...

Which means any shot taken from those spots can absolutely count as a goal...

Obviously, with a throw-in, you have to keep at least one foot on the line—the line is part of the field, plain and simple, and that's all there is to it...
