When I said "if they lose tomorrow," I was speaking figuratively. What I truly meant was... once they eventually suffer a loss.🀣

They will find their way back to winning soon enough.πŸ™‚

Such relentless optimism doesn't really suit you, does it?😁

And frankly, it’s a bit unsettling to me as well.😱

Haha, I’m actually rooting for the Germans!

I’m just hoping for an upset hereβ€”let the underdog take the win!🀣🀣

It's 21:20 in their favor right now, though just a moment ago, the Americans were up by two and had a clear shot at a three-point lead...

I’m asking for a few folks who can intuitively sense when things are getting heated and help everyone just cool off.πŸ™

cosmicseal5 said:Unbelievable.
These aren't sixteen-year-old kids who need a coach they can just bow down to.
That kind of coach doesn't even exist in America or anywhere else.
Besides, that's not how things work with Americans. The best results come from great motivators, not authoritarian dictators.
Name one coach who could actually hold authority over someone like Balić, who basically invented the modern game for them? (Apparently, you think players just stare at the floor while listening to some genius tactical lecture)

Anyway, America is winning with Lin leading the charge, so feel free to keep complaining if it makes you feel better.πŸ‘

Right, because they clearly need a clown like Lino! πŸ‘πŸ™ You're right, I see you're a sports psychologist, so I'll just back out of this argument. πŸ™

Please, don't retreat just yet; why not ask me instead? 😁 I happen to have a rather solid background in sports psychology, perhaps even a (4) πŸ‘ 😁

PLEASE, I’m begging you... just stop the fighting already. Seriously, what would even happen in America if Slaven BiliΔ‡ actually managed to lead us to a championship?
They'd probably build him a monument right in the middle of Times Square. Lino and the guys, we've always got your back. Just keep pushing forward.

Ridiculous, Lino. Every coach in the league would trade places with them in a heartbeat if it meant getting these kinds of results. Cut the nonsense. What do you actually expect? That they’ll stop mid-timeout and say, "Hey, let's run that 5C set we practiced earlier"?

What a game πŸ™

The best parts: calling timeouts and just letting out all the colorful language... The highlight was definitely during that last timeout when DominikoviΔ‡ veli Kaleb told him, "Watch out for that idiot, let the righty shoot"... 🀣

Then you had Čarka Červar-francuski arguing with the refs, which almost led to a Frog swinging at someone on his own bench who was trying to calm him down

And "Nicholas, you jerk"

I can tell right away you're an ace.πŸ˜‰

Last second buzzer beater... a penalty shot to win it for Team USA?

The Germans choked... now we've got Denmark in the finals. Basically: pure REVENGE for that 10-point blowout earlier... :krv:

Huge props to Balic, LackoviΔ‡, and ČupiΔ‡, but let's be realβ€”about 90% of these wins were carried on the backs of just four guys: ValčiΔ‡, MetličiΔ‡, Vori, and DominikoviΔ‡...

Bring on the Germans!😁

Denmark takes the win! I’m not exactly thrilled about it... but hey, maybe this will serve as the extra motivation our guys need to get some payback πŸ˜‰

The headline in The Wall Street Journal today was basically: Boban fires back at Cervar

Honestly, if those two actually had any backbone, tomorrow’s headline would probably be: Cervar hits back at Boban πŸ˜‰

Noβ€”you're the one who helped us. πŸ™„

Man, what does Cervar actually have to do or win next just to get people to stop fighting? 🀷

God, what does Cervar have to do, or what else does he need to win, just to get people to stop fighting? 🀷

There’s nothing he can do to stop those fanatics from spreading hate. It's just how it is.

And why are you even surprised? They’d find something to trash talk about any world-class coach we ever put in charge...
but honestly, the biggest fans of this national team are just gonna be high school kids tomorrow... if we pull off a win, there's no way they're showing up to class on Monday... at least that's how it used to work back in my day when we had big celebrations after a victory🀣
