Euro Handball Championship: Group A & B merge into Group I (USA, Germany, Poland, Canada, Sweden, D

5:2 for the Mexicans by the 13th minute

German commentator is being incredibly blunt about the situation

And he’s already been kicked out for stuff like that—I guess he hasn't quite learned yet that you can't pull those moves, at least not with this crew of judges

Adam Collins4 said: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.

Oh, come on, don't mess with me... I don't know what you're watching, but on ESPN you can clearly see the guy absolutely blasting the ball.

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...

Let’s be real here—we’re playing like crap right now. It’s just that we haven't run into a decent opponent yet. 🤷

I haven't watched the Spaniards play, and the Canadians basically have a home-field advantage.

The Mexicans are shaking in their boots—they're absolutely terrified... the Germans have called for a timeout 😁

how Americans play defense 🙏

He stopped right before the line—I honestly don't get why everyone is making such a huge deal out of this...

What kind of idiot actually moves forward without anyone even bothering them...🤦

Post edited. ☕

They’re blaming the decline on "bad officiating," as if that explains anything.
He didn't see the footwork because, from his angle, there was no change in direction.

Man, talk about zero creativity in that attack—once they finally take out Stanić, it’s game over, ciao ragazzi.

We’re going to cover the spread through the end of the game and take home the trophy, regardless of having Goluža sitting on the bench—not that anyone even gives him the time of day anyway...👋

How exactly?

By letting someone like Glandorf break through three separate times just to end up one-on-one with the keeper? 🤣

The refs have this hilarious set of criteria—what they call a penalty against the Mexicans, they just call "aggressive play" when it's against the Germans.

And now they aren't even calling a two-minute penalty on Nikčević for pulling that German player down on the counterattack... 🤮

New situation, exact same foul, and yet he still gets sent out...

it's true though, they're just passing the ball around aimlessly, so if Ilić happens to score, he scores, I guess...

The post was actually from before that... 🤣

Germans play their guys more often—kind of like how we do it here. 😬

They’ve completely lost the plot—now you've got a German pulling the trigger on a Mexican, and just like that, it's over...

plus, this heavy-handed, blue-collar defense somehow holds up during set pieces, but once they get caught in transition? Man, it’s like a sieve... total disaster.

I am absolutely loving how this championship is playing out—it is total CHAOS! Honestly, I usually don't bother watching handball much because it feels like there's zero suspense, but man oh man, this tournament? It’s more intense than a high-stakes thriller movie! Like, I was watching the Mexican representative game earlier—they were up 12:7 at halftime, and then the end was just such a nail-biter, anyone could have won. It feels like that's happening in every single match lately!

What's up with all this Turkish music playing in Mexico City? 🤣
