2007 Men's World Handball Championship: Germany Recap/Discussion

frozentiger6 said:Look, I already said it—Buntić is basically coasting right up to the SP. 🙄

A player that smart belongs on the national team. Ivano could definitely learn a thing or two from him.😁

To me, Buntić is just a carbon copy of Mikulic 🤣

frozentiger6 said:Look, he didn't walk away from handball entirely; he just transitioned into management.

By the way, Zeko wasn't working over at Zabel, it was actually in Krusevcu. 😉

If I had mixed up the women's and men's leagues...🙂

Charles Young11 said:The Americans really did us dirty...🙂

Lost the last three against them I think, but when it actually mattered, we took them down...👍

Are you thinking about when we played for bronze at the last EP? Or back at the one before that?🙄

Nah, back when we won the World Cup

Sorry, but I think those bronze medal matches are huge. Bronze isn't gold, sure, but going home with hardware feels better than nothing. And we let the Danes do that to us twice...😠

I’m only here for the gold. Silver and bronze? Forget about it. That’s for the other teams.😁
Don't go derailing this thread. Try to take things as seriously as they actually are.😁

Look, gold is gold—and they don't have any. They know they took both wins right when we were running on fumes.

I actually respect them quite a bit—maybe even more than the Spanish—which is why I'm so pissed that we lost to them again. This time it was a total blowout. Sure, we can make excuses because it’s just a Super Cup, but it just shows we struggle against their style.

So, I basically agree with you regarding those two losses. But like I said, we’ve got the World Cup and Olympic gold under our belts, and they don't. End of story.

You were a second too fast. 😁

It's just so you can actually see what's going on in the game.😁

feralbison62 said:Look, I’m only chasing gold. Silver and bronze? That’s for everyone else...😁

Not me. I respect every single medal. Honestly, finishing fourth is the absolute worst thing that can happen to an athlete. You're better off being tenth... at least you don't dwell on it as much.

Look, you gotta change how you're handling this thread. You're totally killing the positive vibes we worked so hard to build here.
Stop being so damn optimistic about the Republic. 👎 😁

feralbison62 said:Man, you gotta change how you're handling this thread. You're totally messing up the good vibes we built here.
Stop being so positive about the national team.👎 😁

Whatever, man... I just joined, so I'm still catching up on the vibe... 😬

Leave Vujović alone.

Is China Caleb going to play for the national team again?

The defense looks a little soft right now, kind of limp and uncoordinated, but honestly, I think they'll finally snap into gear when the pressure actually hits... Vukić hasn't really been finding his rhythm lately and even Jerković hasn't exactly blown anyone away with his performance either.

But he's the one who pulled the penalty call right when it mattered most,

+2

Who knows? He isn't even playing particularly well lately.

Are you kidding me...
What a complete officiating disaster.

Even the referees can't save them now.

If it weren't for those officials, we’d already be up by five.
