Zorman 🤦

What kind of idiot is this? It’s honestly pathetic—even on Facebook
, he's out there trying to pick fights with armchair experts...
(It's basically like calling them some kind of small-town, narrow-minded Midwesterners)

Wikipedia says there were only 12,200 people in attendance.

What an absolute disaster in terms of turnout.

Talk about an absolute disaster when it comes to turnout.

If they hadn't borrowed those little centaurs from the local youth academy 🤣 🤣 🤣

An excellent, high-energy start. Just try to stay on even ground a bit longer, guys.
Even those brave Pharaohs are managing to hold their own on level ground. I suppose that’s not a bad thing.

What a way to start—I honestly can't tell which part is worse... just one blunder after another...🤦

Bielecki knows how to make an impact... but now he’s just forcing it for no reason.

They just absolutely tore through that set defense—it was pure madness... five goals in twenty-two minutes...🤦

Look, we were a total disaster yesterday, but let's be real—these guys aren't exactly playing any better right now. 😁

Too few players on the court.

I’m still holding out hope that the Americans can somehow pull this one off.

At the 24-minute mark, Poland was sitting pretty at 8-5 with an extra man on the floor... then they hit a rough patch with two quick penalties, allowing Sweden to flip the script and take a 9-11 lead...

By halftime, it was 11-10 in favor of the Swedes—I really think the Americans missed their best window to pull away during that first half...

The Swedes had a disastrous 10-15 minute stretch, but then the Poles just completely vanished for the final 10... Still got hope though. There's still hope...

Lichtlein mentioned he went to the casino the other day and was sitting on a 67% defense rating. At this rate, they’re just going to cruise through the championship as complete underdogs. And honestly? That works for me.

The German keeper pulled off 12 saves—three of those were penalty stops...☕

At the half, Germany was up by four...

German goalkeepers 🙏 🙏 🙏
If Swedish find some way to crack that zone defense, they’re going to walk right through it. Honestly, if Kim were on the court to drop those 3 or 4 long-range buckets, things would be a whole lot easier for us... I have to say, Poland really caught me off guard by dropping back into a defensive shell; they're actually holding their own quite well in transition.

Is it just me, or does Đomba have this crazy turbo-powered soothing voice?😁

And it doesn't stop there; even the color commentator is just hopeless. He brings absolutely nothing to the broadcast, just recycling stats, shouting "boom," and throwing out these incredibly vague clichés. It’s pretty obvious.

That said, I suspect this will still end up being a passing phase for Sweden, even though facing Poland would have been a much easier path.

It’s honestly hard to miss 🤣

if we had played the way we did yesterday, I guess we probably would have walked away with both wins.

I wonder just how many opportunities the Polish players have missed to really pull ahead of the pack...

One should simply dismiss that old woman at Little Cube and allow him to listen to his bedtime stories instead.

He’s a way better color commentator, like five times better.
