Bronze Medal Match: USA vs. Norway (31-24)

Dealing with Janes can be such an exhausting ordeal..
It’s just frustrating how Bandic handles things..

Nicole Wright said:Good grief, my dear fellow 🤦--it's just awful.

Now, let’s not be like that. Someone has to maintain the morale here. 🕺

George Ward7 said:Looks like James has had one too many; we just need this win. 🤦

Talk about a classy welcome party.

Who was that idiot who dragged Bailey off the stage????

And there's just one inevitable conclusion at every handball tournament... 🐔

Jonathan Barnes5 said:@Dennis Doyle3/">@@Dennis Doyle3..Look, maybe I'm overreacting when it comes to Duncan, but the point is that everything starts and ends with him. We simply can't win anything without him. If Doug plays at his peak, then the US team is unstoppable. We've seen that a hundred times before.
He's a cornerstone player. One of the best on the planet. There's no way he just pads his stats in the last 15 minutes of a game once it's already decided—which happened in previous tournaments. It's impossible for someone with his experience in high-stakes games to play below his level.
If you want to win a tournament, plain and simple, Duncan has to dominate every single match.

I agree that without Duncan playing at his best, chasing gold is a pipe dream. But finally, now that Bailey has moved on, we actually have another high-quality center in Karacic. Honestly, for the first time in ages, we have two solid players for almost every position. Now it’s up to the coaching staff to actually make it work.

Morris🤣..
It feels like we’ve finally found a true entertainer to step into the spotlight for the national team, much like how we welcomed a new spark after Dominic left the stage.🙏

New anthem 🤣

🙈

it’s brilliant in one sense, yet utterly moronic in another... 🤣

Honestly, I’m actually a little embarrassed by this song 🤦

George Ward7 said:The new anthem 🤣

What absolute garbage... Zeljko Babic John Wayne🤦🤣

Jonathan Barnes5 said:Morris🤣...
After Dominic, we've finally got ourselves a new entertainer on the national team..🙏

Wait, what exactly did he do?

What kind of song is this? Honestly, this is easily the worst thing ever produced by any Slaven context 🤣

A song worthy of the Cowboy nickname 🤣

jadeseal7 said:What exactly did he do?

He was just cutting loose on the field like a true prankster. He’s always been such a lighthearted soul for the national team.

Morgan Hill84 said:A song truly worthy of a real American cowboy🤣

Better off than those hellraisers

Jonathan Barnes5 said:The guy was just having a blast out there on the field... You can tell he’s a total jokester—definitely the life of the party for the national team.

I’m heading out tonight to catch the welcome celebration for him and Karacic over in Phoenix—it should be a great time, though I just hope they don't start blasting that "new anthem" everywhere!😁

jadeseal7 said:Man, this song is just embarrassing...🤦

Honestly, the whole thing is just cringey.

The music lineup is alright—Connect and Bodalec are fine—but everything else? James and this mindless screaming... 🤦 You gotta tell this crowd they're idiots, because I bet they'd approve of this garbage if everyone just screamed loud enough. 🤣

Nicole Wright said:man, that's rough, fam 🤦

And here comes the 1,672,635th anthem for our handball guys...🤦🤦🤦

Honestly, most of these victory parades are just cheap, manufactured hype. There were maybe four times when the celebrations actually meant something and weren't just bloated PR stunts. Think about George, Jane, the '98 national team, or that gold medal run against Portugal back in '03.
Everything else is just pathetic. 🤦
And then you have this—celebrating a bronze medal like we won the damn World Series. 🙏

jadeseal7 said:I'm heading out tonight to celebrate him and Carter in Memphis; it should be a great time, provided everyone avoids singing that "new anthem."😁

From the crumbling concrete of Charleston's shameful arena near Little Rock, all the way up to the top tier of the sporting world in America...
It would be a real miracle if Bennett manages to pull this off. It’s honestly heartbreaking for the local sports scene in Memphis to still be lacking a proper stadium. Sending my best from Chicago.
