World Cup Handball: The Final Stretch

Alright folks, we’re up by 4!
We came out swinging in the first 12 minutes, running up a 10-5 lead. Then we hit a bit of a lull, they caught up, and it was just anyone's game within a couple of points.
Man, we absolutely tore them apart—we were on fire out there.
The biggest thing, though? Saric couldn't stop a single shot to save his life, so they pulled him five minutes before the buzzer.

I’m trying to stay positive here, especially since Qatar is burning through their starters way faster than we are. But hey, this could swing either way at any second.

Looks like everyone's feeling it too. Nice work!

Saric 0/14 🤣🤣🤣

They’re holding their own quite well, I suppose...

We came out swinging in those first twelve minutes and built a 10-5 lead, but then things just kind of stalled out, and they caught up until we were basically just trading punches within a three-point margin.
Honestly, we were absolutely tearing them apart on the perimeter; we were on fire.
The biggest disaster, though, was that Saric couldn't stop a single shot to save his life, which is why he got pulled five minutes before the buzzer.

Glad to see everyone else is feeling the momentum too, nice work!

That backup keeper for Qatar is a total joke. He looks like some guy from the neighborhood who put on a jersey just for a laugh and ended up stuck in the net.🤣

We hit +8 right at the 41' mark 👍

Ended up melting away at +2.

edit: Alright, that's it. Congrats on making the semifinals. 👍

Congrats! This game looks almost identical to that Nor-Hun match from today.

Honestly, you guys have a shot at bronze regardless of who shows up against you.

edit: Well, there it is. Congrats on making the semifinals. 👍

If they’d had even one more minute left on the clock, I’m pretty sure they would’ve found a way to blow the whole thing. 🙂

Thanks for the kind words. 🙂

Thanks for the well wishes, this means the world to us👋👋

Right back at ya!👍

Hold up, so our semifinals are on the 27th, the bronze medal match is the 28th, and then the finals hit on the 29th. 🤣

Total disaster—basically the handball version of Manchester City (Qatar). Honestly, just let them have it. Way to go, neighbors. 🙂

Americans and Canadians in the semifinals!!!

See you guys in the finals, I guess.

Congrats, neighbors! We're pulling for you guys—hope to see you in the finals 👍

See you in the finals.

Let's hope 👍

Thank God I finally found it

It’s already blowing up all over social media "Sleep tight, Karabatic," 😁 🤣

urgent urgent urgent

Can someone fill me in since I’m totally out of the loop?
Where are our fans actually gonna be sitting at Madison Square Garden... which section of the arena?
Me and my buddy are about to pull the trigger on tickets, but I don't want to end up in some random spot far away from the crowd... hurry up with an answer, there aren't many left...

That’s just how it goes... one minute it's Roger Federer in the morning, and by evening you're looking at Canada America 👋👋

They absolutely trashed the schedule. 🤣

Four matches in three time slots today, then four more over just four days. 🤣

bluebison47 said:Exactly. It’s like, Roger Federer in the morning, then total chaos in Canada and the US by tonight 👋👋

Let's party like it is 2004 👋
