Championship Finals: USA vs. Spain

Black Knights said:Vanja, it’s not about us taking silver; it’s about how we got here. Showing up like that in a World Championship final is just embarrassing... 🙂 Honestly, I’d take bronze over a performance like that any day!

I don't know. Let them figure out for themselves why they played like that in a major championship final.

Instead of putting up a real fight, they looked like kids playing a game. My neighbors back home could have put together a better showing than that.

There is quite a bit of room for debate here. If someone had offered us a silver medal back when we were dealing with those heavy injuries, I am certain we would have taken it without hesitation. But after seeing that absolute clinic against France yesterday...

And there it is—that’s number 40 conceded on our end.

Pathetic.

It’s alright, I suppose... just 7...😁

At least nobody will be calling them gods anymore...

6, OH MY GOD, WE ACTUALLY GOT THEM!!!:..😁

Nothing left to say... the Spaniards just absolutely schooled us.

Mirza was his usual reliable self
Balic held his own too
Lackovic was completely MIA
Metlicic was even worse than that
Sola's either playing for a paycheck or he's DONE😁
Kaleb was totally checked out too
Vori was just okay
Buntic put up a good fight
Sprem might’ve actually been our best player
Dominikovic fought hard, mad respect to him

A six-point lead! As long as they don't let the other team sink any shots, we're golden!

Just +6 🙂)))))

(That old +8 of ours still counts 🙂 )

AMERICAN IS G O L D ! ! ! !

🙂🙂🙂

thank God there are only 6 differences 🙏

We were humiliated... deeply... and painfully

Alright, let me know if we actually pull off a win!😁

So, we just wrapped up the second half...😲 😲

Great job out there, guys...😁 😁 😁

Dammit... it just didn't happen.

The US👋

Did anyone besides us manage to drop 40 points during the championship?😢

So, is there actually going to be a celebration for the silver medalists?

Or is success only measured in gold when you're from a place like ours?

And since we're always treated as "different" from the Mexicans, why would they even bother? 👎

Only 6 differences? "Super," really... especially since we were losing even harder when we had twice as much 🙂

Blame the cops for everything.😁

A friend just sent me this message:

If you don't end up a world champion, Americans will be heartbroken, but we'll forgive you because we know you're the best and we'll never turn our backs on you.
