Done

They might have one extra player on the field... but they look absolutely terrified out there..

And honestly? That’s all we need for a big win!!!!!

FINALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The FINALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is this Sunday at 6:00 PM, which is 12:00 PM back in Canada.
I won't be able to catch the game live, ughhhhhh!!

Can someone please give me a breakdown of what's actually happening right now? I’m losing my mind here...

Thanks for the stream, everyone. Huge props to our guys 😁 👍

..it feels kind of stupid to quote my own opening post here, but I guess it’s good to have everything documented in one place, right?
And apparently, I was the only one actually believing in you guys...😕
..just a whole bunch of stuff..

Honestly, enough is enough... we really should have walked away with a 10-5 lead on our side...

Stop kidding yourselves and wasting your energy getting worked up over nothing...
we're clearly the better team...

Well, now this is actually getting interesting—we’re looking at a potential Water Polo European Championship FINALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE between Yugoslavia and America! 😁 😁
Has anything even remotely like this happened before in any other sport?
I have to admit though, I’m getting a little uneasy seeing how close Canada is to the venue... I can't shake the feeling that we might run into some serious trouble with the fans. 🙄

You’re the favorites now, Sapic.
And those Madjar guys were something else...

Oh yeah? You guys are so "better" that we're going to absolutely sink you tomorrow. You'll be going down faster than the Titanic itself.🙂 🙂

Since the US has never actually won a European Championship (though Yugoslavia managed it twice before the breakup), I think they’ll be incredibly hungry this year. My money is on them taking home the gold.

..not gonna get into some massive deep dive here, but 7:5 for Yugoslavia. It's looking pretty solid.

...and now Jura Ozmec is going after the refs...🙄

Has that matchup ever happened before in any sport?
Though I gotta say, having Canada right there nearby has me a little worried... I have a feeling things might get heated with the fans. 🙄

We actually had some issues just yesterday, so that's something, but anyway, is anyone actually heading out to the final?

I’m honestly getting a bit tired of our guys winning nothing but those world titles this year, like, come on, give us a European trophy for once.😁

But seriously ( 😁 ), the Yugoslavians are the favorites here, but honestly, it's only because our national team decided that maybe—just maybe—it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually prepare for the European Championship instead of waiting until five days before the tournament starts, and even though everything turned out great in the end, you can still feel them struggling to find their rhythm on offense sometimes, but then again, it's the final and you can never truly know what's going to happen, plus if it wasn't the final, whenever these two teams play, the odds are always basically fifty-fifty.

BTW, it really is a crying shame that we didn't walk away as European champions.

Kudos to the team—it seems like the US performs best when nobody expects a thing from us (just look at our soccer and handball history). Last year at the FINA Cup, we were just there to fill out the numbers, but look at us now. I think we might actually have the edge, but you guys definitely have less pressure on your shoulders. I’d bet 55:45 that Yugoslavia takes first place...
