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

When it comes to online commentary, I honestly think bringing on Vela was one of the best moves the network has made in years.
They’re grounded, they bring a great sense of humor, they don't act like a know-it-all, and they stay perfectly balanced.👍

They are everything Bože isn't.

Looks like he dropped a few pounds in just two days—but what about McA? 😬

If we're talking two days, they basically locked him in a sauna for half an hour right before the game and told him he wasn't coming out until he started playing better...

The sauna miracle is real...😁

We absolutely tore them apart. We were already up by 5 in the first half, and then a little bit of officiating compensation gave Dance a fighting chance to stay in it. Then we pulled away again in the second—though there was more help from the refs, thankfully arriving too late to matter. For most of the match, the Danes just looked lost. The refs hit their quota of questionable calls, but Denmark wasn't even in the ballpark.--

Zacudajace, they managed to score a few quick ones in the last ten minutes, but our guys stayed locked in, running plays until the whistle, fighting for every inch, and doing exactly what they needed to do on both ends. It felt like watching the glory days, just with some fresh faces in the mix.

Bringing back the finals format two years ago and basically crushing the competition—it’s just to make sure there's no debate about who's actually better, so nobody can claim it was just bad luck. These Danish teams have spent years barely scraping into the knockout stages. For them, it's game over, but for us, the quarterfinals are basically a formality after how we handled those Icelanders and the Danes. Let's go get that gold!!

Ugh, all this sudden euphoria blowing up everywhere... it’s the usual story, really. I’m not a huge fan of it one bit. I think we should just take things slow; there's no need to start shouting about gold medals just yet. There are plenty of other teams out there playing world-class handball too. 🤣

He’s grounded, he’s got this great sense of humor, he isn't some condescending know-it-all, just a steady, balanced guy.👍

Everything that stands in opposition to God.

🙏

there aren't any imaginary conspiracies, and there isn't any theft in God's head

peaceful bliss 🙏

Way to go, our 🙏🙏🙏

Did you guys see how Vela played during that last attack by Denmark? Hansen, Jensen, and Mirksen are totally locking down 🙏🤣

Well, looks like Hvidt is going to be our judge and jury this time—just listen to what a seasoned pessimist like me has to say about it. 😁

And besides, Hvidt is basically family at this point... 😉
