Championship Finals: USA vs. Spain

Mr.Ex.President said:The Tunisians are booing the Spaniard...

Since Tunisia just lost to the Spaniard in the bronze medal match.

😂 😂

GET READY FOR THE PRELUDE!!🙏 🙏

Bradley Richardson said:Look, I actually think this was a solid move on our part. By the time the next World Cup rolls around, half of these guys won't even be on the roster anymore...

There you have it. 😁

Come on, people. If you don't follow handball unless it's the World Cup or the Olympics, please stop talking nonsense. 🙂

MAYBE SCHOOL DOESN'T WANT TO,
BUT EVERYONE ELSE DOES😉

But honestly, things will just never be the same again.

ZAG Ultras said:

🙂 👍

ZAG Ultras said:

Is this any better? 😁 😛

Bradley Richardson said:Look, I honestly think this was the last great thing we've accomplished, mostly because by the time the next World Cup rolls around, half of this roster will probably be retired already...

Did you maybe have a few shots of bourbon too?...

Come on, don't lie to me...😉

mr X said:Our commentator hit the nail on the head here:
It sounds almost dismissive to call it "just" silver. In reality, it’s an incredible achievement.
We really should be celebrating... if only we could actually get ourselves to do it.😢

Exactly. We might be a relatively small nation, but when it comes to sports, we punch way above our weight—enough to make the superpowers jealous.
And taking second place is a massive win.
Is modesty just not in our DNA? Or what?

ZAG Ultras said:No, I mean the Frenchmen. Just think about it for a second—how could they have lost the bronze medal match against the Spaniards if the Spaniards actually played in the final?😕

🙄 🤣

MaXI said:😂 😂

STAY FOCUSED!!🙏 🙏

My bad, let me fix that😉

Bradley Richardson said:Look, I believe this was the right move for us. By the next World Cup, half of them won't even be on the roster anymore...

I have to disagree.

----
The Tunisians are just bitter toward the Frenchmen (and honestly, they still are) because they feel like they were cheated.

Charles Bennett said:Exactly. We might be a relatively small nation, but when it comes to sports, we punch way above our weight class—enough to make the superpowers jealous.
Plus, taking second place is an incredible achievement.
Modesty isn't really in our DNA, is it?

Nah, we're just greedy.
Actually, scratch that—I'm the greedy one, because I know deep down we earned that gold.
I don't even know what I'm rambling about now, but whatever, I just needed to vent.😁

Feuerfuchs said:The main thing is that Bozo finally remembered that damn pear being thrown during the game against the Frenchman right before they handed out the medals.😁

Look, Bozo is a legend, so don't even start 🙂

Anyway, which team is actually running this tournament? Are there at least five Spaniards on the roster? And is Richardson really the top center? 🙄

Honestly, the IHF has completely outdone the EHF in terms of structure and organization, even making our own setup look amateur by comparison.

frozentiger6 said:Look, 😁

Come on, everyone, if you aren't actually following handball outside of the World Cup finals or the Olympics, please just stop talking nonsense 🙂

I’ve been watching this sport since 1996, and I am honestly convinced we are never going to reach the heights we saw two years ago and during last year's Olympics again.

Cry about it if you want,
the US isn't the world champion anymore.😉

But they still pulled silver—congrats.🙏

This squad still has plenty of championships ahead of them. Being a pessimist right now just doesn't make any sense.

Honestly—it looks like fatigue finally caught up with them. They couldn't maintain any real defense. Once they started falling behind, they just didn't have the gas left to mount a comeback. Throw in the fact that Solo is sidelined, and you've got your answer.

We really need a solid keeper to back up Solo, someone who can step in for John (not Goluza), plus we need Sulic back on his feet so Vori isn't stuck playing all 60 minutes.

We'll find a goalie. Sulic is coming back, so we just need to find an "almost-John" type to fill the gap. We have one of the strongest cores out there, but our bench depth just isn't where it needs to be.

More titles are coming.😁

Bad Boys said:Look, it's fine, **boldhound8**. Let's just chalk it up to the pure disbelief and total nerves caused by handball! 😉

Thanks👍

Now our unrefined crew is gonna grab that medal👍

I was just wondering, what's even the point of that pedestal when nobody is actually standing on it...🤣

melk said:If you don't like it, deal with it,
America isn't the world champion anymore.😉

But hey, they still took silver—congrats.🙏

WHO IS THIS GUY?😕

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, TOO BAD, BECAUSE AMERICA WAS AND STILL IS THE WORLD CHAMPION!😉

In my eyes, they'll always be champions and legends.

Pretty sure my wife vacuumed up a ladybug and a spider today.
Damn, why did she have to do the vacuuming today of all days?😠
