Handball Euro: USA vs. France 24:23 🔥🔥

ruggedharbor95 said:It’s common sense, isn't it? If we didn't have that success in 2000, we wouldn't have seen 2008 either. Who knows what might have happened back then, but it's always easy to be a critic from the comfort of your own couch.🤣😂

ruggedharbor95 said:Go set yourself on fire along with Jonathan Reed4...🙄☕
Huge props to the guys out there, but let’s be real, a massive chunk of that win belongs to the guys on the bench too...🙏🙏

granitefox16 said:Which part of my post did you not get? What exactly am I supposed to be doing on the court to hear the call during a timeout? Is it actually different when you're watching it on TV?🙄

granitefox16 said:I love these people who wander into sports twice a year and suddenly act like they're experts🙄, have you been told that Linus doesn't even step foot in the locker room at halftime? You saw yourself who actually calls the shots during timeouts...

The guys won this final, while that clown has been riding their coattails for ages

But hey, please, keep up the expert analysis, genius😉

James Roberts87 said:The absolute craziest people are the ones who think they’re experts on everything just because they watched it on TV.😂

granitefox16 said:What part of my post did you not get?? Seriously... what am I even supposed to be doing there to hear them talking through a timeout? Like, how does it sound any different when you're watching it on TV? It's all the same...🙄

Gregory Walker15 said:Even if we ignore what kind of coach Linus actually is, you can't justify today's mess just because he won something eight years ago. Even Chico took third place once, so that doesn't make him a clown.🙂

ruggedharbor95 said:That Linus, whom even Balic respects enough to give space, was the one who truly helped God bless USA Handball back in the year 2000 and paved the way for all the success we've seen lately. Sure, maybe things aren't the same now; maybe he’s aged or lost his edge. But calling him a joke or useless is just shameful. Seriously, it's pathetic. I say this as someone who barely watches sports and spends more time on makeup, yet even I find this behavior disgusting. It's hard to believe you and your crowd don't feel embarrassed.
As soon as someone serves their purpose, let's just kick them to the curb? Is that the plan? At this rate, I'll be hearing people call Misty May Johansson a "moron" too, just because she served her time and now they want nothing to do with her. Just disappear into a hole and stay there, I guess.🤮

Ugh, we were basically non-existent back in the early 2000s. After winning gold in Atlanta in '96, we went through this slow, steady slide until we finally hit gold again in Portugal in 2003. 🧐

Sandra Wilson38 said:Good grief, do I really have to admit it and act like I know half the people out there and what they actually think about Lina? 🙄🙄🙄

ruggedharbor95 said:Sure, genius, but hey—we still made it to the finals!
That Linus guy—the one Balic won't even step foot in the locker room with—was the reason back in 2000 when we needed God bless USA handball to wake up. He played a massive part in the huge success we've seen in recent years. Okay, maybe things aren't quite the same now; maybe he’s gotten older, maybe he’s lost his edge, but honestly? To call him a joke, a useless hack, or an idiot... it’s just shameful. Seriously, SHAMEFUL. And I have to say this as someone who shows up to sports twice a year and spends the rest of her time messing with makeup. It's pathetic, really, and I can't believe you or your buddies don't feel disgusted by yourselves.
The second someone fulfills their purpose, everyone's like, "Kick them to the curb and goodbye." At this rate, I expect to hear people calling Misty May Johansson a "moron" too once she's done being useful. Like, fine, just crawl into the deepest hole you can find and stay there.🤮

Sean Gonzalez95 said:Tactics get drawn up during timeouts🙄...it's an attempt at something. Have you ever actually played a sport? How many times would players suggest something to a coach that might actually work? Sometimes you see a better play on the court than the coach does. God, the stupid comments out there... we say things like "he keeps driving to the hoop, I'll just dive under him to draw an offensive foul" or "tell the guy shooting from the left that he can't go the same way again tonight." I don't know... just examples of stuff players actually talk about

granitefox16 said:What part of my post did you even miss? What exactly am I supposed to be doing over there to hear some agreement during a timeout? Is it somehow different when you're watching it on TV?🙄

ruggedharbor95 said:Actually, yeah—I don't exactly have the calendar memorized, but I know it all really kicked off with that gold medal run in Portugal.☕

ruggedharbor95 said:Sure, genius, but at the end of the day, we’re still in the finals.
That guy Lino, the one who apparently can't even step into the locker room with Balić, was the reason American handball saw that massive awakening back in 2000. He played a huge role in the incredible success we’ve seen in recent years. Sure, maybe things have changed. Maybe he’s gotten older, maybe he’s lost his edge, but calling him a joke or a useless idiot is just pathetic. It’s honestly embarrassing. And coming from me—someone who shows up to a game maybe twice a year and spends the rest of her time focused on makeup—it's especially ridiculous. You and your crowd are truly pathetic, and I honestly can't believe you aren't disgusted with yourselves.
As soon as someone serves their purpose, we kick them to the curb and say goodbye. It feels like I'll be hearing those same insults leveled at Janica Kostelić and other American "idiots" who were useful once but are now being tossed aside. Just crawl into the deepest hole you can find and stay there.🤮

Look, nobody is actually disputing what he accomplished. But let’s be real about how things stand right now: he’s got absolutely nothing left to offer this national team.
Changing coaches is just part of the game. It happens all the time in sports, so I don't get why everyone is making such a huge deal out of it. 😕
Or you can just keep living by that whole "I am America" ego of his. 😬

I think my recovery would go a lot faster if someone just dropped a streaming link for the Denmark vs. Germany game... especially if we end up taking home the gold tomorrow.
