Handball Euro: USA vs. Norway ends in a 23-23 draw

frozentiger6 said:It honestly feels like they just grabbed me, Roger Allen3, Bolton, Robby, Votever, and Tanya, yanked us out of our office chairs, tossed us onto the hardwood, and said, "Alright guys and girl, here's the ball, those are the Norwegians, we're playing for a spot in the semifinals, half of Europe is watching you, so get to it."

Just play the game, for crying out loud!

I used to play left wing.👋

It’s fine, we'll make our move in the second half, but those Norwegians... they just don't have a clue what's coming.
I'm feeling optimistic about Lacković's three goals (I mean, seriously, damn 😁 👋),

Brandon Castillo4 said:Man, this Tvedten guy is an absolute beast. But honestly? That Norwegian squad has all the stamina and pure speed in the world—they could run marathons at this point. Meanwhile, we’re looking pretty gassed and half our roster is playing through injuries.

Nah, not happening... they totally choked against the Canadians. We're sitting just one goal away from the semifinals, while those guys are gonna be in a much better spot than us heading into the second half.

The Germans in the semis 🤷

classic move🙏

Since Šušec isn't playing, I basically just shut him out and blasted Mart Savić’s "Tebi je sve do Kosova ravno" on full volume, hoping maybe things would improve... anyway, check out this goal they scored while down two players... seriously, everyone should try this
😬

Laca’s making his move... let the sweepers take two or three losses and we'll be sitting pretty 🙏

Tanya is a pivot player. Just picture her cursing out the refs and ripping her jersey apart like Sulic—shrugging her shoulders at the bench and telling the coach, "It’s not my fault, man, honestly!"

😬 or... perhaps... not?

Does anyone know who’s taking the first ball in the second half? Also, how much penalty time does Dominovic and Vori have left on the clock...

Based on these numbers... ☕
👋

Out of nowhere in the second half yesterday, the Norwegian coach pulled Hagen and put in Kjelling. This guy didn't even see the floor today... honestly, this old-timer is gonna be the death of them.

We’re holding our own. Not getting whistled for too much, and the refs have been more or less fair enough.
Let's go!👍👍

If we just put Jonathan Reed on the wing and had her show a little cleavage, 🎉 you'd see how fast those Norwegians would lose their footing. 🤣

me 😁

We’ve got our first penalty coming up. I’m thinking Dominovic is looking at a 6 or 7 second call... as for the second one, who knows how much time is left on that clock 🤷

According to this, ☕
👋

Well, I feel much better now, 😁

Just my luck, the stream is glitching out like a beat-up old Chevy 😛 All I’ve managed to catch are botched passes, dropped balls, constant penalties, and some cheap goals from the guys 😁
If this wasn't the USA playing, I'd be laughing my head off at how pathetic this game is 🤣

Solid performance. Kudos to Lin. The man clearly knows his stuff.

Around the 48-second mark, there's a second penalty called on Duvnjak...

Look, the first suspension ends in about three seconds, but the other one still has roughly thirty seconds left on it, which means we’re basically playing shorthanded for an entire possession!🙏
