2010 World Handball Championship: USA vs. Denmark (27-23)

I mean, what kind of victory celebration is it if there isn't a winner's anthem playing?

Exactly. 🤦

Charles Williams58 said:I see you've got Mourinho's avatar set up there... honestly, based on how you carry yourself, I’d say you act more like Cervar!

🤣🤣

Ronald White61 said:What are you guys even talking about? Someone’s out here acting like Lino completely lost his mind, but honestly, I didn't see anything out there that warranted all this drama!

He really went ahead and lost his mind!
So, what’s the move now? What are we actually looking at here?
Nope!

Oh, come on, seriously? Can we please stop quoting this loser? 😁

It wasn't Cervar who made it to the finals; it was the players. ☕ 😁

hero 😬

Charles Williams58 said:And here we go again with the complainers... We beat the European champions and people still claim our offense is aimless. Personally, I thought the attack was killer. Feeding the ball to Buntic when you can see he’s absolutely crushing it is a bad move? Aimless? My ass.

Attack was killer? The only difference between the "stellar" offense everyone is hyping up now and the garbage we've seen the last few games is that Buntic is actually scoring. Everything else is exactly the same.🙂

And please, spare me the labels about being "satisfied" or "dissatisfied" until you've actually read my last 15 posts. I'm not happy, I'm not miserable, I didn't have a stroke yesterday, and I'm not on cloud nine right now. I'm just being real...

placidfalcon4 said:😕

So basically... if we want to be anything more than a small-town squad, we need more than two guys actually showing up to play??? Who are we talking about?🤷 Which players?🤣

Exactly. Handball is a team sport. If it's just Balic and Alilovic carrying the load, you aren't beating anyone—which we clearly proved—let alone taking on Denmark or France or fighting for the top spot. This was the first game where we actually had more than two guys playing decently... damn, against Austria we didn't have a single player in the zone...

And I don't get why we're even arguing about this.🤷
Just leave me out of all that dream team bullshit and crap. I'm not buying into it.😁

Look, he was basically telling off those ESPN reporters... they're only coming after him because he's part of the management now.

Honestly, I can't even blame him. He’s got every right to talk trash to them; they're practically begging for it by how they treat him.

And please, spare me the labeling of being "satisfied" or "dissatisfied" until you've actually read my last fifteen posts. I'm not satisfied, I'm not dissatisfied, I didn't lose sleep over it last night, and I'm not on cloud nine now. I'm just being realistic...

True... Handball is a team sport. If it’s just Balic and Alilovic out there, you aren't beating anyone—as we've clearly demonstrated—let alone fighting for the top spot against Denmark or France. This was our first game where more than two players actually showed up... damn it, we had zero momentum against Austria...

I don't see why we're even arguing about this.🤷
Leave me out of the dream team nonsense and similar garbage. I'm not interested.😁

And Buntic isn't part of the offense? ☕ Isn't his job to score? ☕

Is he seriously throwing shade at his own brother Nick?

Terry Rodriguez41 said:Alright, fine—we already have the gold in the bag! You happy now? 😕

Happy enough. The real work hasn't even started yet—but we'll have it wrapped up by Sunday. 🙂

So, the Danes were training for one thing, but they ended up getting absolutely slaughtered by someone else entirely... Buntilomeo strašan !!!!!😁

Terry Rodriguez41 said:But honestly, let's be real—we'll probably just lose to the French again, and we'll all be left venting our frustrations once the finals wrap up. 🤣

Well, if that happens, so be it. 😁

We'll simply find ourselves on some French cycling forum, showing off our skills by complaining in perfect French. 👍🤣

My take? Someone had to clear some space for Buntic... that’s usually how it works when you bring in one or two outsiders.

But clearly, there will always be people fueled by jealousy whenever Americans succeed.
It's a classic American sickness.

Ronald White61 said:What are you guys even talking about? Someone's mom getting insulted? I didn't see any of that happening.

I didn't hear him bring up anyone's mother either. He was just over there trying to explain the EPH and Styri situation to Cosic. Look, it's trash to go after journalists like that, but honestly? Most of them aren't exactly playing fair either.

But hey, if Mourinho can handle the heat, then Cervar can too. 😁

Then again, you gotta have some empathy for the guy. Being criticized in America more than Ivo Sanders or Ivic Pasalic... I mean, I bet that kind of pressure just builds up until you finally snap.
Just let the man do his job. Leave him alone when things are fine, and then come screaming at him when the results turn south.

Charles Williams58 said:I didn't hear him bringing up anyone's mother, but he was explaining things regarding European Properties Holdings and Styrian to Oscar Schmidt. It’s unseemly to settle scores with journalists like that, but then again, they aren't exactly playing fair either.

Still, if José Mourinho can handle it, so can Chuck Daly. 😁

Then again, you have to empathize with a man who gets criticized more than Bill Clinton or Tony Bennett back in America... I imagine that kind of pressure builds up until someone finally snaps.
Let the man do his job in peace; don't start screaming at him only when the results turn sour.

He has no other outlet to confront the press since they censor everything else. This is the only way he can go live.

Offense is completely stagnant, defense is a mess, Spearman is just wandering around out there, and we’ve got three or four guys sitting on the bench who could actually contribute right now. We’re in the semifinals without a single loss, yet this is how we look... 🤣

Just a few more 🙏🙏🙏 to everyone

Arthur Martinez7 said:but hey, we can deal with that later 😁

I'll just find some French cycling forum and show off by whining in French 👍🤣

here's a start

baisez-vous baiseur de mère de grenouille

edit: damn, Yahoo did a terrible job translating this one 😁

And he's got a coach who doesn't know the first thing about handball! 🤣

When you add it all up, we’re actually playing some damn good ball. 😁

boldhound8 said:Well, yeah... handball is a team sport. If it's just Klimko and Alilovic out there, you aren't beating anyone—let alone Denmark or France, or even contending for the title (which we clearly proved). This is basically the first game where more than two guys actually showed up... damn, against Austria we didn't have a single player with any motivation at all...

And I don't get why we're arguing about this?🤷
Just leave me out of the dream team and all that other crap—I'm not interested.😁

We don't disagree on the fact that we played with total Idleness, that's all. Or put it this way: if we're going to start every major tournament with five aimless wins, fine by me.🤷

Look, any sport with more than one player is a team sport.😬 And just because they're having an off day doesn't mean they should look like some streetball squad, for God's sake.😁 Sometimes FC Barcelona has a bad day, sometimes Hajduk Split has a bad day—could be a month, a year, or a decade.😍😬

That's the reality.🤷
