In my view, this game was decided by the goalkeepers... Poljak2 was an absolute disaster out there, whereas Saric stepped up right when his team needed him most to pull ahead...

Whatever, Qatar’s better anyway.

Now it's just prep for the final before the actual final...

This might be the most pathetic sport in history. The IOC has hit rock bottom. There’s nowhere left to go. It doesn't matter who the referees are; the host always seems to get special treatment. And honestly, Qatar feels more like a private club than an actual national team. This whole thing is a joke—the organization, the competition, the sport itself. It's just a farce.

Props to Poljak2 for that applause at the end. Respect.

At the very least, he won't be walking away with the same old trophies every single time.

I fixed your post for you—they clearly couldn't see straight. 🙄

I really love how this final shot turned out. It turns out the Poles were actually clapping for the referees, which is just peak irony. 😂

🙂 Handball is in trouble. It feels like they’re just pushing these manufactured teams forward based on whoever serves their interests. The Poles were solid enough, though their goalkeepers struggled a bit. But honestly, if you look at how they were forced to play such a soft defense because the refs were handing out penalties for even the slightest physical contact, it’s easy to see why their save percentage was so low. Every single call seemed to favor the home team—teams that aren't exactly catastrophes, sure, but they're nowhere near being semifinalists, let alone finalists. 🤦

Well, I guess they want their Maserati too.

☕Huge props to Kataran, honestly. With those kinds of amateurish defensive blunders, the Poles didn't deserve anything more than this...

Rivera, Bog ☕

This is just how the International Handball Federation operates at this level! They let a bunch of foreign-born players flood the national roster and then go ahead and give them massive officiating favors on top of it. The Mexicans absolutely nailed that strategy. It’s honestly no surprise that the Poles fell apart because of the referees, even though they basically handed over their own loss today by messing up their defensive schemes and goalkeeper coordination. Now, there's zero chance they're walking away with fourth place.

Qatar in the World Cup finals 🤣

Handball is turning into a total joke, all thanks to the IHF.
They won't even make it out of the group stages for the next xx years—basically until the tournament rolls around in Qatar again.

It is entirely possible that this club—namely Qatar—walks away with first place. One expects officiating assistance, naturally; there is no doubt they had an easier path to the finals than the other side of the bracket.
Plus, they hold the psychological edge—who saw this coming? They’ve secured a massive result and now face a handball powerhouse in the final without the weight of expectation pressing down on them.😁If Spain advances, they have a fighting chance, though against France... well, let's just say things look grim
but one shouldn't write them off entirely.
That said, I anticipate a routine 5-6 goal margin for the French—but we shall see...

Man, the Americans are killing me. Szmal hit 4/26 from the field, just 15%... and that other guy went 0/9. Now they’re actually cheering for the refs? Unbelievable. 🤣
