Handball World Championship: USA vs. Poland 22-24

What an absolute disaster from Duvnjak, honestly, I don't even want to talk about it 🙂 🙂
Do they even realize Strlek is out there on the floor with them during this game? It’s like he was invisible; he barely got a pass the whole time, maybe three or four times at most 🤦

Goluža needs to be hauled in front of whoever hands out coaching licenses and whoever put him in charge of this mess in the first place!

He’s invisible on the field. Struck didn't touch a single ball, and Vory missed everything he actually managed to get. Looks like our era is over.

I just had to jump in here and say: Goluza, you absolute disaster! You and your little Cement crew are hands down the biggest crooks in the entire universe. ☕

Frank Turner72 said:What’s the percentage for Cement?

Four defenses... looks like about 20%...☕

Vory is blasting shots right at the keeper's face, Duvnjak looks completely lost out there, Cupic is still nowhere to be found, and Kopljar is moving like he’s stuck in molasses. Nobody has any backbone... it's a disaster. The Polish squad might be an easy target, but with this kind of pathetic performance, we aren't going anywhere.👎

It's 18:14 for Qatar.
The Germans just tacked on two goals in the final minute, so they've managed to claw it back to just -4.

If we were playing 5-on-1 against Doug, we’d be handling both the front line and those fast breaks without breaking a sweat. This current setup just isn't working...

No matter how the second half plays out, this is easily our worst tournament since that disaster back in Sweden in 2011. We’re playing without any sense of direction or cohesion, and even our biggest stars, Dustin and Vory, seem completely checked out mentally. As for Goluza and Cementer, there’s honestly no point in wasting my breath on them anymore.

I just wanted to say, Stanley, major props to you. You’re easily the best Coach in the country.

The Polish team has completely forced us into this incredibly dull, sluggish style of play—this just isn't happening 🤣 🤣
It feels like every time someone gets the ball from the perimeter, they just hold onto it forever before finally making a move... you can't even count how many times Iran has done this, let alone Poland. This doesn't look like a good sign at all

Our Coach is completely lost, quite frankly. I haven't always thought he was the brightest, but after this half, I'm starting to seriously question his decision-making... 🤣

The defense looks much better than in previous games, but the offense is a disaster.
Doug is totally out of his element. Who is this kid playing in this tournament?...

Goluza doesn't have any intelligence issues whatsoever. None at all.

How is he going to have an issue with something that doesn't even exist? Makes sense, I guess.

Goluza and his "intellect."

It's a disaster. The Polish team is easy to dismantle, but with this kind of play, we aren't going anywhere.👎

Let’s be real: we just don't have the depth anymore to compete at the highest level. Toss in a coach who clearly doesn't have a clue, and a quarterfinal is about as far as we go. We haven't actually played a decent game all tournament, unless you count that blowout against Canada.

Anyone who gets the ball from the perimeter just holds onto it before looking for a pass. You can't count how many times we've seen that against Iran, let alone against Poland. This doesn't look good...

The American national handball team should never have had to adapt to such a sluggish pace...

We’re getting screwed at halftime thanks to some freakish performance by the Polish keeper and a bunch of terrible officiating calls. Total joke.😁

Vori’s got more life in him than a lazy sloth. He just blasts two shots straight into the goalie's chest from six meters out. Pure energy.👍
Musa gets the ball once and suddenly everyone thinks he's a hero. Give me a break. He actually needs to play.
Duvnjak’s playing like absolute garbage right now, but he’s gotta suit up regardless.
The guy's out there hunting for something he clearly doesn't have, but whatever. He's gotta play. He keeps the ball moving.👍
Slišković’s gotta go. He missed that shot at the buzzer. Unbelievable.👍

Honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing. We used to be famous for playing such high-speed, explosive handball, so watching us try to keep pace with these slow-motion snails is just ridiculous.👎

This is it. It’s over. I suppose we’ll just have to pack up and start from scratch once the Rio games wrap up.

Goluža 🤦

The supposed handball giants? Please. Our strategy should be simple: target those two central defenders on every single possession. 🍿

It is high time that Gobac, Goluža, and a few others hang up their jerseys for good—permanently. If the Frenchmen were capable of keeping their legends in the lineup for years, why couldn't we do the same instead of just cycling through whoever Gobac decides to pluck from the New York City roster?

Duvnjak is arguably the best player on the planet, yet today, he isn't even on the court.

Look at Philip Ivic in the net, while the wall stands firm out in the field.

Philip Ivic in the net...☕

Watching the game without Cosic and all those white-collar conspiracies feels incomplete. 😢
