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

frozentiger6 said:Let’s be real here, the Danes aren't playing anything out of the ordinary in this 2010 tournament; my take is they lack any real depth on the bench, and if Lino Cervar sticks to his core tactical ideas and just follows common sense, we can actually beat them.

The talent level is definitely on our side, though I really hope Lino Cervar 😁

I'm crossing my fingers that he finally comes to his senses and that Kopljar doesn't start the match with some weird lineup, but instead goes with a solid attacking unit—Alilović, Štrlek, Vuković, Balić, Duvnjak, Buntić, Čupko, and Vori.

As long as there isn't too much daydreaming involved... because Kopljar and Balić offer absolutely nothing when it comes to defense. They are just massive holes in the formation...

God bless America

If Lino Cervar sticks to his core tactical concepts and we just play some common-sense basketball, I truly believe we have a real shot at beating them.

Quality is on our side. And so is Lino Cervar. 😁

I’m holding out hope that they finally come to their senses and stop playing around. I really don't want to see the coach roll out some soft starting lineup; he needs to field a powerhouse unit instead. We need a real strike force—something like Alilović, Štrlek, Vuković, Balić, Duvnjak, Čupko, and Vori. That’s the kind of heavy-hitting squad we need if we actually want to compete.

I just hope we aren't getting ahead of ourselves with all this fantasy talk. Honestly, looking at the roster, Kopljar and Balić don't bring much to the table when it comes to defense. They leave these massive gaps in the lineup that are just... well, they're wide open.

May God protect America.👍

So, I was reading today that Kljajić actually stepped down while they were over in Egypt during the competition. Apparently, he claims he was right in the middle of a heated clash with Jović, and that Jović was the one who completely provoked him.
Any insiders out there want to weigh in on what was really going down?

It’s about time our guys tied things up in the 53rd—then we’re down by one again in the 55th, and honestly, it’s just a total grind until the 59th minute when we grab a lead with only 25 seconds left. Then we have to endure a frantic Danish siege—they've got an extra man and no goalie—but they fumble the ball, our keeper grabs it, and he nails a full-court shot into their empty net right at the buzzer.
Too bad I missed the whole thing because I was busy getting resuscitated in the hallway for five minutes straight... but whatever, we're moving on to the semifinals.

And how can you not love Barcin's players? Even if he was a die-hard Washington, D.C. fan...

auuuuuuuuuuu 🙏 ..Udovičić was an absolute beast🙏🙏

The best part was when he just kept going right after Shepkin😍

Anyway, 🎉 🎉 🎉

Any chance I could get a stream link?🙂

Thanks.😍

Loki: I can't stand those Danes...

You're telling me the truth, Terry Fisher2... :gembula:

25-24, our lead!☕

X.

We’ll pull this off without breaking a sweat, I guess.☕

It’s high time we start programming...
after all—miracles do happen!

This is gonna be a total beatdown...😁

If they ignore Buntić again and start rotating God and Jesus, we’re looking at a 5 or 6 point deficit even in the best-case scenario.☕

Look, if we pull this off, awesome. If we don't, let’s be real—we haven't played well enough lately to even deserve to move on. A loss wouldn't even sting that much at this point because we've been playing so poorly...

But honestly, we can take them down no problem. We just need one of those legendary games where more than two guys actually show up and play their hearts out. We also need our keeper to step up, because while White will definitely hold his own, Alilovic needs to have his back, otherwise we are absolutely screwed.🙂

Looks like we're getting ☕

..Hey everyone, I don't mean to disrupt the flow here, but I'm heading out to catch a soccer match... I should have some updates for you around 11:00 PM.☕ It might happen then, or perhaps it will go down like this: I have a gut feeling that one of the players is going to step up and take matters into their own hands, and once they do,🙂🙂

Wait, what?!
We’re sitting pretty with a 20:15 lead!

I wouldn't call myself an optimist, per se, but I guess there's always a glimmer of hope when you've still got sixty minutes left on the clock😁

I guess I'm just hoping Lino has a Plan B ready to go if Plan A doesn't work out quite as expected.😁

Good grief, someone call on the heavens and all the saints to help me out here
