So I guess ☕

There it is. You admit we ruined their game... and even Wilbek is praising the American performance..

.. yet there's always that crowd looking for excuses, claiming if things had gone differently, this wouldn't have happened..

I suppose we should have just sent Buntić and Alilović home. Then that critic would finally be happy seeing the US lose..

Wilbek is a hell of a coach; he’s consistently managed to tear us apart during the championships.
To his own great disappointment—an admission he made with a certain degree of somber honesty—he finds himself left without any meaningful material to mount a defense against the US national team.
It was honestly quite amusing to watch those two little kids on the local news, absolutely hammering away at Gojunov's block.
We essentially handed them the game on a silver platter by playing through the wings with that 6-0 setup. Honestly, because of those two specific players, we didn't even need to bother congregating in the middle of the field. Why bother trying to control the center when you've already compromised your own structure like that?
To be perfectly honest, they've fallen significantly behind us now—and frankly, they're trailing even further behind the standards set by places like Iceland.
After all, that was my exact position when I first opened this thread:

I find myself pondering the recent developments regarding the proposed tax hikes, and I must ask: are we truly prepared for the implications this will have on the average American household? It seems to me that the current trajectory being suggested by certain policymakers is not merely a minor adjustment, but rather a significant shift that could fundamentally alter our economic landscape. One cannot help but wonder if the administration has fully accounted for the ripple effects this might have on small businesses across the country. If we increase the burden on these local pillars of our community, what becomes of the innovation and grit that define the American spirit? Is it not more prudent to seek stability before imposing such sweeping changes? Furthermore, I am curious about the perspective held by rapidbison42 on this matter. Does one believe that the long-term benefits to the national treasury justify the immediate strain on the taxpayer? It is a delicate balance, to be sure, and one that requires much more than just cursory analysis. We must approach these decisions with a sense of deliberation and respect for the hard-earned prosperity of our citizens. 👍 😁

That’s exactly why Linek absolutely tore him a new one today. He did it right there on camera, loud and clear, without holding anything back. 😁

The Danes aren't exactly what they used to be, are they? But then again, we’ve become this strange hybrid of veteran stalwarts and fresh faces ourselves. It seems Linek certainly had a more strategic vision for that transition... but I suppose that depends entirely on how one views his leadership. ☕

Melissa Price6 said:Honestly, Wilbek doesn't know the first thing about handball... what is he even doing bragging about the American national team's performance when that Member of the European Parliament already pointed out how bad they played?
And apparently, that Member of the European Parliament is an expert on *that*!

So now, Wilbek is out here praising Kopljar...

Either he's just messing with us—which, let's face it, is always a possibility—or maybe all that women's handball has gone to his head...😁

Or he thinks Bukvić is some little girl... which, given the way they play, isn't exactly a stretch...

Though, then there's Anja Andersen...😍

..just got back from the soccer field.😍 thanks for the 26 pages of reading material, but I'll leave you with just one takeaway after processing everything: "you people are absolutely insane."😍😍👍👍

They certainly were incredibly efficient, weren't they? 😁

I honestly thought this thread was about the USA vs. Denmark game, not some venting session about a former Secretary of Education! 😢

Honestly, we need to fix the wing play immediately...

Today the shooting from the wings was a pathetic 1-for-6, if I’m remembering right...

If that doesn't change, we're basically invisible out there—against a Frenchman, getting the ball to the wings is going to be an uphill battle, and if these guys keep missing, they're just going to get our striker absolutely dismantled... and frankly, that goalkeeper is bothering me way more than some KGB agent would...

Look, hear me out... you have to view it this way... they were basically just clearing out space for Buntić (plus and Balić played a part on the LV, though he was usually taped up anyway)

Besides, our entire perimeter scoring gave us 18 goals, which is honestly pretty awesome 👍

By the way, hats off to you, cowboy—that might have been our best performance of the Olympics in Athens, or maybe we didn't even play this well back then.🙏🙏


hahahaha 😂 🙏🙏 man, that would be incredible, and wouldn't it be even better if we could drag Ivo Sanders into the mix too?😂

They got absolutely wrecked by those cross-screens... we saw hints of it during the game against Austria, but today was on another level. There were moments where three players would dive into a cross-screen all at once... it’s honestly exhausting to try and follow that kind of movement.

And you know, bringing up Losert Venio could actually make some sense too! 🙏

Gojun is basically playing like Mutombo. 🙂

The Danes aren't quite what they used to be, but we're also some sort of mix of old and new players. It seems Linek planned this better... so whatever anyone thinks of him ☕

Fair enough, but you could see the difference in quality all the way from Mars.
I try not to get ahead of myself by saying "these guys are bad, we'll beat them," but I watched them against the Mexicans, against Iceland, and against Norway, and I wasn't impressed by any of it.
If the judges hadn't robbed them, those broken-down Mexicans would have caught up to them; Iceland ran over them, and they only beat Norway by pure luck.
They played against two heavyweights (us and Iceland) and folded like a cheap lawn chair.
Today was nothing more than routine.
