They basically robbed us of two easy goals. After that, it felt like the Denmark guys were just strolling through the game. And even when they weren't coasting, they kept getting pushed around by those blatant fouls.
If I were in Linin's shoes, Iβd be throwing the ref for a loop. You grind your way to the finals with players who are practically running on fumes, only to get screwed over by some blown call? It's ridiculous. I can't even remember the last time I saw a foul called during a fast breakβI think I've seen maybe two in my entire lifeβbut today, we got hit with two back-to-back.
I bet those usual line judges would have absolutely loved that move!π

You really can't say a word against the Danes; they were arguably the better side tonight. But letβs be honestβif it hadn't been for those biased officials calling the game, things would have been incredibly intense. We would have absolutely crushed them and walked away with π

Even better. So what you're saying is we managed to win everything we did without a goalie of THAT caliber? Isn't that just absolutely insane then? π

In handball, you often see teams squander a massive lead in the final twenty minutes, but I don't see any path to victory in this particular game. If the referees hadn't waved off those goals, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Major props to the guys. They left everything out there on the court. Denmark completely folded at the end, and our boys stepped up to save the day. I'm not saying we would have walked away with the win, but man, it would have been sweet.

What made the difference?
33% - pure exhaustion and injuries
33% - that Danish goalie
33% - some bad calls by the refs at the worst times
Huge congrats on fighting like warriors and grabbing that medal.
The difference was that they were +14 over the two games. π
Anyway, did we even manage a single fast break today?

The Danes were honestly shaking in their boots thinking they actually had a chance to win.
Now we just gotta dig deep, I guess. We can totally pull this off.

Thank goodness we finally got that goal from Vukic... what a massive relief!
13-17

Honestly, we probably could have pushed it to 14

Heβd probably just flatten someone with those massive hands of his. No question there.
Either way, heβd grab a Cabernet and wouldn't care if he ended up taking down one of his own guys. π

If nothing else, we really need to drop three essays on Hvidt π π π
Guys, you're absolute heroes. Taking home silver while playing through the pain? Thank you. π

Susan Fox86 said:He "got to the ball." Please, stop embarrassing yourself. Of course he got to the ball when the guy hit him right in the torso. He was facing him with zero obstruction to his movement.
He wasn't moving, he didn't stick a foot out, and there was no intention there. This guy just shoves the ball into his stomach, where it slides down his body and barely brushes his leg.
It's pathetic... just give it a rest already.
I've had my fill, how about you? π
