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

Are we going to crush Denmark? If the Poles beat the Swedes, a spot in the semifinals isn't out of reach.

Will you guys take down Denmark? And if the Swedes handle the Poles, third place in the group against Mexico might actually be within our grasp.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The ball looks fake—and don't even get me started on the speed or the passing mechanics.

Look, man—the movie was produced by an Italian-Sri Lankan studio, and let’s be honest, handball isn't exactly their specialty. 🤣
There is actually a scene where they are practicing on a football field, and the "captain" starts reciting rules, saying something like, "Three steps." Then, they actually try to practice it by having one guy grab the ball, sprint three steps without a single dribble, and just toss it to a teammate. 😂😂😂😂

If we pull off this win, and then the Americans take down the Swedes, we're looking at a semifinal spot before we know it.

Honestly, I'd much rather see the Swedes beat the Americans...

But why?
Isn't it much more beneficial to have a score of 3 for the US and 0 for Sweden, rather than a 3-2 split between the US, Sweden, and Poland?

George Robinson43 said:Why's that?
I mean, isn't a 3-0 win over Sweden better than a 3-2 result against both Sweden and Poland?

Personally, I'd take a 3-2-2 split over a 3-0-4 outcome any day of the week.

Poland wins:
Poland 4
Argentina 2
Sweden 0

OR

Sweden wins:
Poland 2
Sweden 2
Argentina 2

42' Sweden is up by two

edit: 44' they're up by three now

If Sweden pulls this off (🙂);

Denmark 4
Poland 2
Argentina 2
Sweden 2
Mexico 1
USA 1

We'll probably cruise through that matchup against Argentina too (I think we can pull it off despite everything). Just hoping the Danes sweep the rest.

Good grief, what happened to our handball team?😢
If we didn't have Balić, we wouldn't have even made it out of the group stage, damn it...

The Swedes actually managed to hold them off despite playing a man down 🙏

+2 more in the 7th minute

We're gonna be sitting in second. That means our first match in the next round is against whoever takes third from Group D. If Sweden pulls it off, we're looking at facing Argentina. It's fine, honestly. We need a win to get our act together, and then we can finally start controlling our own destiny.

Bumping Poland out of the running

+3 for Sweden

Only 3 minutes left on the clock

So if this is how it goes for the user, then

How’s everything going, neighbors? Are we absolutely crushing the Romanians?

I honestly don't even know what happened to our handball program. I mean, I really can't wrap my head around how we managed to become such absolute losers.🙂

We already clinched second place back on Saturday ☕

🤦

It will always be a mystery to me why Đomba wasn't performing at his peak back in 2009 at age 32.
Yet today, we're perfectly fine with Zrnić being at the exact same age.

Then there's Christiansen, who also gave us plenty of trouble, now aged 38.
Meanwhile, Metličić, who just turned 34 a few weeks ago, is considered a liability.

And this isn't just about one game; it's been the entire tournament. We're struggling across the board.
It’s hardly a shock—we rushed to rejuvenate the national team in every single position, and now we're paying the price.

Look at the facts: Šprem was born in '79, Špoljarić in '79, and Dominiković in '78. What I wouldn't give to have Venio Losert in goal right now instead of these two who can never find consistency. Just look at the average age of most veteran keepers. If Šola could hold the line until he was 39, why on earth can't Losert do it at 34?!

I'm not suggesting everyone should be on the field, but at least a few of them...
Pure American stupidity, if you ask me.

The US lost their recreational matchup against Romania by 10 points🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, fine then—after getting crushed by the Swedish Blue this past Saturday, we’re heading straight to the bottom ☕😁

Denmark vs. Sweden[/B]

Haha🙂
Man, this is gonna be the death of us.😍

If we manage to get everything we need, they can try to mess with the chemistry all they want—it won't change a thing for us.
