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

Well, looks like our guys are playing under a massive deficit tomorrow too...

he always plays a hell of a game 😁 provided the head coach actually remembers he's even on the national roster

it’s all fun and games until we start talking about Balić—then we're screwed—but clearly, the idiot prepared this whole squad without him in mind.

Where the hell is Balic ??????????

What kind of absolute amateur moves were those?

And then they act like they're totally connected

Nicholas Long2 said:Honestly, whenever any national team—or even just a single athlete—from a country of only about 4.5 million people manages to snag any kind of medal, we should probably give them a standing ovation.

And let's talk about the players themselves. When an athlete grinds through an entire grueling season, then turns around and heads straight to the World Cup or the Euro Championship—where they’re playing ten incredibly intense games in ten days—only to jump right back into their club schedule immediately after? That deserves respect, regardless of whether they walk away with hardware or not...

Some of these guys were playing for their clubs right up until Christmas, then they fly out for training camps, play the Euro Championship now, and then—get this—they’re right back with their clubs the very next weekend...

Then it’s prep for the Olympics... then back to the club until December... and then straight into training for the World Cup again...

No other national team or group of players is operating on a relentless loop like this...

And yet, somehow, that's exactly what people choose to complain about.🤮

We absolutely needed to finish that play with a goal here.☕
But of course, nothing happens, and now we're staring at the Spanish squad sitting on a two-goal lead.

Balić was absolutely incredible today. Honestly, he should probably show up clean-shaven more often. 😬

Here’s a breakdown of how the first half went....

Honestly, watching this is just straight-up tragicomic.

but nope, just missed it, and now Spain is up by two

GOOOOOOAL

The refs are completely out of it

Two non-existent seven-meter penalties called against the Spanish team—and before that, they missed a blatant breakaway by our guys (one of those fourth fouls was just plain wrong)

Aguinagalde basically never gets called for his fouls on the line; he just grabs the opponent right before the shot goes up and nothing happens

Four "errors" in a row against us, all going their way
