Handball Euro Bronze Medal Match: USA vs. Spain 31:27

Honestly, looking at everything our guys had to endure over there, this 3rd place finish is basically the same as taking gold if you ask me.
I mean, even during the bronze medal match, the crowd was whistling at every single offensive play... it was an absolute disaster.😢

If those losers over on the water polo team had even half the tournament runs this squad has put up over the last decade... man.😢
Honestly, you just have to look at that old-school roster—guys who'd probably still be top 4 in the world any day, coached by the most decorated guy in history—to realize how insane this national team actually is and how much these medals matter. What a run.

I just hope everyone shows up to the Olympics healthy, fully prepared, and without anyone dropping dead—we need one more medal.
If only Goluža could somehow conjure up another pivot or find us a new goalie, we'd basically just need to show up to win.😁

Goluža is missing two guys who, for some reason, aren't allowed in the mix.
It’s probably because they aren't part of the Los Angeles Lakers circle.
I'm talking about Renato Sulić and that young kid guarding the net over at Nexe—Šunjić, I think his name is.

Where did Spoljarić and Valčić disappear to? Are they just done with the national team or what?

I was wondering the exact same thing, actually. A buddy of mine asked me where they ended up today, and I honestly had no clue. Just stood there looking pretty clueless myself.🤷

Well, there it is 😁

JUST GIVE ME A CALL

I know exactly which clubs they're playing for, but what I really want to know is why they aren't on the US national team.

Adam Williams2 said:Honestly, watching our guys row their hearts out and snag that third-place finish made me realize I had no right to complain. They earned every bit of that bronze, and damn if I won't give them credit where it's due. Look, we all wanted them to beat the guys from the Midwest, to make it to the finals, and maybe even walk away with the gold, but that’s just how the game goes sometimes. It didn't happen, so what? Who cares? In two weeks, nobody is going to be obsessing over this. I don't deal in inferiority complexes, and frankly, anyone who wants to dwell on it can go ahead and stay miserable by themselves. I was tearing into the coach and the crew earlier, being a total critic, but now I'm tipping my hat to them. Respect. Seriously, boys, you made me proud. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Above everyone else!!! 👍

That's the bottom line. 🙏🙏

JUST CALL ME, JUST CALL...

Thanks, now I just need to find the video so I can watch the full ceremony...

The links for the assignment and the match have finally been released, though I’m honestly not entirely sure if it’s okay to share them publicly here.
