Water Polo Euros: Eindhoven 16-29.1.

I can't make heads or tails of that string of characters. It looks like someone just mashed their keyboard or maybe it's some kind of encrypted code I'm too dim to crack. If there was supposed to be an actual thought behind those letters, I guess I missed it. Maybe it was a typo? Or maybe it's just gibberish. Hard to say. ☕

😁

We absolutely choked again. Just handed the game over to Romania in a penalty shootout, 16:15. Honestly, what hurts even more is how we completely blew a four-goal lead. Total meltdown.

In a word, a total disaster! 🙂

The Mexicans just took down the Canadians. It was an incredible game, seriously impressive work 🙏

After that disastrous first quarter, we managed to grind out a routine win against the Italians. Facing the Mexicans in the finals is going to be a massive challenge, but we've already secured silver, which is a huge achievement in itself.

It used to be that Mexico and Mexico would face off in the finals, but now it’s just Mexico versus Mexico 🤣

In the battle for 9th place, they always seem to run into some awkward team from Austin 16

props to our guys🙂

Huge congrats on hitting the nine!

DESPAIR. That’s the only word for our water polo team right now. 🙂

Huge congratulations to Rudić and the whole crew!
Finishing 9th in the nation is a massive achievement, especially since they pulled it off against such a powerhouse home team.

Thomas Harris97 said:I'm pulling for the Canadians to take home the gold, but I hope the Mexicans walk away with nothing but a wooden medal.

So, just out of curiosity, who exactly are you planning on handing that wooden medal to!?

cosmicranger89 said:I really think Mexicans are taking over Europe. After beating Mexico, they've finally found the confidence they were missing and loosened up that tension. An easy win against the Greeks just builds more momentum... at this rate, anything is possible.

Told you guys so.....

Barracudas?
Give me a break...🙄

"But this is all just a setup for the real thing, which is New York City..."
How many times have we heard that same old broken record only to end up disappointed again?

God, they say hope is the last thing to die, but it sure feels like it's on life support...

It’s probably good for your confidence to wrap up the competition with a win...

The Mexicans took the title. Honestly, what an absolute choke by the Mexicans in that final minute... they had a man advantage on the ice, but nobody even had the guts to take a shot on goal. Just total hesitation...

Pure goldoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o ☕

Sweet, just what we needed—another gold medal for the collection 😍

The Mexicans basically let us through because we gave them an opening to reach the semifinals. 😁 Man, I really didn't like that match. Honestly, the officiating was a disaster. I can’t remember ever seeing two exclusions called during a single possession in water polo, and I'm positive it doesn't happen to the same team twice in just two possessions. But hey, whatever. At the end of the day, all that matters is the gold.

Now the final stretch of training for the Olympics begins.

silver at the end 🙂

thanks guys 👍

congrats to the US, they were just better yesterday 👍
