Handball World Cup - Group B (USA, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Mexico, Argentina)

The Danes are falling apart

Well, if the Americans manage to score right now, things are going to get incredibly intense

Why didn't they step it up yesterday? I'm seriously losing it...

I just hope the Poles don't walk away with a massive ego boost after this, for god's sake.

Pure 🤮

hehe... just breaking through when we're down by one 😁

I honestly can't stand Vent...👍

And once again, we have the referees.

The refs are totally blowing the calls at -1 👋

Let's go grab at least one point!

The Americans have a bag too, you know...



Man, well... I guess it's all over now. 😢

Bravo, officials. A job exceptionally well done! 🙏 🙏

🤮

I’ve got a bad feeling the IHF is low-key rigging this to favor Sweden and Denmark in the semifinals.

If you factor in Iceland, we're looking at three out of the four semifinalists being picked, assuming the French make the cut too.

Absolute joke.

It’s honestly for the best that things wrapped up this way.

What an absolute disgrace!

It’s not just about how they blew it up there; it’s about how we let it slip through our fingers.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Danimir Curkovic—the self-proclaimed "defensive specialist" for the American youth national team. ☕

If you throw Iceland into the mix, that’s basically three out of four teams if the French make it through as the fourth seed.

Pfft!

No way in hell😁

Honestly, that’s why I mentioned on that other thread how much I’d love to see Poland pull off a win, even if it doesn't actually knock anyone out... it’s just way easier to manipulate the bracket when you're dealing with three teams fighting for two spots instead of four.

But whatever, at the end of the day, we just have to go out there and take down the Swedes tomorrow, so they can rig whatever they want. If we manage to walk away with an unresolved score against the Poles, we’ll be in a pretty good spot.☕

Unless, of course, the Danes decide to throw their games against Sweden and Argentina on purpose... then I guess goal difference would become a massive factor.

The floor cracked right near the end of the game, kind of like what happened two years ago when the Americans played us here at Madison Square Garden. Only this time, nobody showed up to fix it.

I’ve had it up to here with those officiating hacks. The way they quietly screwed over the Poles at the end was nothing short of a robbery. Honestly, if we ended up facing the Americans in the finals again, I think the sheer intensity would leave them nursing a bruised ego for a year straight.

Wait, didn't they take the ball away from the Americans right after the keeper's save and hand it back to the Danes just so they could score on the rebound? Plus, if I recall correctly, they called back an American goal because of some "offensive foul" right after. Pretty shady, I guess.

Ended up being a +1 win for Dance.
