Handball Europe: America vs. Norway 23-23

23:18... the Americans seem to be keeping their distance without much trouble at all

Looks like the Yankees aren't going to pull off any miracles this time... honestly, it feels like we're just going to have to go toe-to-toe with the Frenchman and see what happens

This Jeppesen guy is a straight-up psychiatric case study... honestly looks like a mass shooter... he nearly snapped the bench in half when he got kicked out, and before that, he was basically having a showdown with his own alter ego.

Man, it was honestly pretty stupid to expect anyone else to step up and carry us, even if they really should have...
It’s always the same crap with us. We end up taking an unfair loss or getting stuck in 5th place with one defeat, or we're forced to play a perfect tournament just to stay relevant, and it’s just total nonsense.😁

The Americans ended up falling short, losing 28-23😢

Alright, it’s officially decided. We either win or draw and head to France. If we lose, we're headed straight home. 🙂

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I think you're wrong on this one.

Roger Allen3 said:That’s it. It’s officially win or draw and we’re headed to France. Lose? We’re on a plane straight back home. 🙂

Man, it hasn't been that long...
I’m telling you, if we actually pull this off and move on, they seriously owe us a refund for those last two tournaments.😍

What a waste... 😢

... so, basically, we're fighting for a big fifth-place finish.

Actually, we don't! Even if it ends in a draw, we’re still sitting pretty at the top of the group.

That means we won't end up facing the French in the semis.
All we can do is take first place and set ourselves up against either Sweden or Germany (we'll know for sure in about half an hour).

The Americans are leading the pack.

Since when does a semifinalist fight for 5th place? lol

Roger Allen3 said:Exactly. It’s win or draw to head to France. Anything else and we're heading straight home.🙂

,nah, I'm hoping we make it to Sweden instead.

I mean, who actually thinks a semifinalist is playing for fifth—if we lose, we're just third in the group, so what happens then?

🙄
Honestly, I've completely wiped the word "defeat" from my brain 🙂 sorry...

@ Raymond Palmer8
lol, it’s actually not even that bad 🙂 — such a good vibe, honestly... maybe it’ll even carry all the way over to Norway (you know, the actual country, not the team 😛)

"The US blew out Norway by ten points, finishing with a score of 33:29"
Malice is basically God's middle name, isn't it? 🙏🤣

Ugh, I am just so incredibly frustrated right nowdiv>

We can take on Norway in the championship game.👍
