🙂 A Mexican is sprinting through the crease and the refs call a nine-meter penalty? 😁

Listen, after this championship, they’ll just go right back to how things have always been. What kind of "new era" for European Handball are we actually talking about here?

Adam Collins4 said:Nikčević should’ve been tossed with a red card ages ago after three blatant fouls... just constant pulling from behind during the counter-attack...

Anyway, that's my two cents...☕

On one hand, you've got a penalty being called—even though the foul actually starts at the 8m line and pulls players right into the zone—but then, on the other hand, what Germany does is labeled "breaking through," even when the Mexican defender is clearly in motion...

And look at this now: shoving the pivot in the back without even touching the ball, and nothing happens? Seriously, that's at least a two-minute penalty in any normal game...

Look, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but if you really sat down and analyzed every single game in this tournament, I bet you could find plenty of examples of that.

I honestly can't wrap my head around how the Mexicans are still finding the back of the net with an offense like that😁

The Germans just went on an absolute tear with an 8:2 run

Now we’re finally going to see what these guys are actually made of—ten minutes left on the clock...

It felt like the Arena was actually more packed when North Mexico played.

"Balance it out!" the German yells.
The Frenchman is just fumbling around.
There's no coverage, so nothing is being broadcast.

Olivia White25 said:Honestly, we and the Spaniards are still playing at a whole different level compared to the Mexicans, Germans, and everyone else... though I can't quite figure out what's going on with the French lately... the Canadians are actually doing pretty well, for instance...

Anyway, this group is way stronger than that other one...

It's all just semantics at this point... honestly, neither you guys nor the Spaniards have really accomplished anything yet... if anything, the Canadians have been the best so far.

The future #1 powerhouse in Europe just dropped a 7-point chunk to those heavy-hitting Germans.

How can they be anything but the future, considering they’re already sitting at number one? 🤔

They're basically on autopilot at this point.

Man, if Čupko and Štrlek were out there, they’d probably just nail Stanić from the wing...

The refs are totally lost again; they honestly can't even see someone playing soccer...

Look, everyone, please be careful about what you post here. I can't possibly keep up with correcting everything... ☕

The Mexicans are really getting the short end of the stick dealing with these lousy Germans.

On top of that, it feels like every single officiating call is being handed to them on a silver platter.☕

I mean, come on, that was such an obvious intentional move... 🤣

You can't actually tell from this camera angle if he even touched the ball or not... the ball didn't even deviate from its path, it just kept rolling straight ahead...

The step was there, sure, but you can't see if there was any actual contact...

Hmm, does anyone know where the two-minute mark is? I feel like I missed it.

So, the supposed star shooter of the European Championship, Vujin, is sitting there with a shooting percentage of 0/6 🤣
