Handball Euros: Bronze Medal Match - America vs. Spain (31-27)

Someone check their vision, guys...

Do I really want these small-town haters—the ones rooting against a 30-year-old who hasn't accomplished a single thing in twelve years—to succeed in dragging our entire national reputation through the mud just to snag a medal?

No thanks. VIVA SPAIN!!!

not for long🙂

Are there actually any sanctions for officials like this? 🙂
I mean, if any other team were on the field, this kind of officiating would definitely be an issue.

Lake makes up for those missed scoring opportunities from the semifinals ☕

George Robinson43 said:Yeah. Since late 2004, it’s been a hell of a motivator for us to chase those second and fourth-place finishes.

And honestly, he was right there when we clinched gold at the championships, so... 😁

Honestly, I would have preferred if they had scored them back in the semifinals. ☕😳

Seriously, tell those refs to go jump in a lake.

No thanks, VIVA SPAIN!!!

😁
Hmm, even though winning a medal at this ep would totally mess up the perfect rerun of the 2004 run from Athens to London (haha, kind of like an SF movie scenario)—just because of those humanoid thugs in the stands cheering against us—I’d actually love to see them hand a victory to their favorites, Spain (and they're favorites because they don't recognize Mexico)

Jeffrey Cruz said:Is the right wing position in handball actually a scarce commodity or what? It’s kind of like the left back in soccer. 🤷 Calling Kopljar the best right winger, huh. 🤔

If you consider that you need a high-quality lefty to pull that off—and yeah, there are just incredibly few lefties in the country in general anyway...

This is pure nonsense...

So, I was wondering... what kind of elbow joint are we talking about here, Vori? 😲

Lisa Ward52 said:Man, if you want to talk about a real heavy hitter, that guy was right there in the thick of it when they clinched the championship at the World Series, seriously 😁

And let's not forget, Smajlagic was riding shotgun with him the whole time.

Just forty seconds of pure passivity 🙏

Look, I'm sorry Kiril, but honestly? Marko Kopljar is just a better right winger than you... I mean, seriously, look at those 19 goals he put up.

Man, what a total embarrassment.

And then we’ll settle up with the compensation at the end

No thanks. VIVA ESPANA!!!

You really shouldn't have gone there... you spend all your time posting political takes about how backward everyone's mindset is, and then you turn around and prove the point yourself...

Everyone wants to be a world-class expert and a die-hard fan when things are going well... but the second things stall, they’re the first ones spitting on the floor...

And let's be real, people only started paying attention to handball around 2003, if at all...

You're the only one embarrassing yourself, 🙄

And that’s it? That's all we get for every medal they win? God, this mentality is exhausting! 😢

Wait, where did that GIF go? The one with the cement... 🤮
