Handball Euro Finals: America vs. Denmark 20:24

That was a penalty on Valcic.
The footage is clear.

I honestly feel like we were completely screwed over the second they cut our line 🙏 🙏 🙏

I am seriously losing my mind with these players, I swear! Why on earth can those absolute losers manage to pull off a +3 lead while we can't even scrape together a single point? 🙂

Let's skip the provocation and just move on. We're almost there...😉

Honestly, if I were in Lino's shoes, I’d be looking for a confrontation just like that... I've been sitting here at home practically throwing my hands up in frustration. If it were me, I swear, I would have laid him out flat on the floor. 😁

Well... White just absolutely destroyed us

And then there's that damn, "infallible" Christiansen 😠

I am truly fed up with the White team

We desperately need a world-class goalkeeper who can maintain a 40% save rate consistently. That's the bottom line.

Because you clearly have no clue what you're talking about, and frankly, it seems like you're struggling to see the obvious. 🙄😁

well... 🙂
huge congrats to our boys 🎉 🎉 🙏

IT’S GONE

And despite all the officiating garbage, we almost had them; they were saved twice by the posts and a goalkeeper who actually has a face.

Real officials who want to cheat are subtle about it. These guys were just butchering the game. Our suspensions were laughable. And then there was that call on Vori right when we finally had the man advantage. First, they call a non-existent offensive foul when he picks up the ball on the line, then they suspend him because apparently the ball 🤮slipped onto his foot while he was dropping it. Usually, you call that to stop a clear fast break, but this time the play and the argument lasted twenty seconds—there was zero chance for a counterattack.

There were at least a dozen catastrophic errors stacked against us.

I'll say it again: we weren't playing great. Our team looked exhausted and spent, but the officiating was criminal. We managed to drag those amateurs across the finish line even though they looked lost in the final fifteen minutes. If you asked half the people in the stands where they were or what sport they were even playing, they wouldn't have known.

Man, that ejection of Vori really set me off.

We’ve got two officials clashing on the court, which is a rare sight, especially when a team is struggling to hold off a five-point deficit. That’s just bad officiating. We’re seeing non-existent fouls being called, while our own players are getting tossed for absolutely nothing. Even the coach gets hit with two consecutive two-minute penalties.

The most pathetic part is how the Americans started playing with zero discipline as the game wound down. They were practically bulldozing through our players. Their ball control was a total mess, too.

But the real kicker? We can't seem to find any way to survive a 4-0 run right at the start.

what the hell just happened 😕

Now, Tanya, let me break this down for you quite simply... The officials are at fault because they effectively stripped away our opportunity to close the gap and potentially pull off an upset with a bit of luck. It is true that the Americans played a superior game, but we would have been right on their heels if the referees hadn't disallowed two perfectly legitimate goals, handed out unnecessary penalties, halted three or four standard offensive drives, and dealt Lin 😍 a red card along with a four-minute suspension...

Does that clarify things for you?

Jonathan Reed4 said:The difference was that they were +14 over the two games. 😁

Anyway, did we even manage a single fast break today?

Yeah, but Edova's was called back! 😉 😁 😁

God, please don't let me be stuck in those stands.

Jonathan Reed4 said:Man, I really feel like the refs screwed us on that championship run. Why do I get the feeling the Americans are actually the better team?

They are. To be more precise, they were just way more prepared, which isn't surprising given they have 14 players who can all step up, and they didn't get absolutely dismantled by those French Armoires.

But honestly, it feels like we just fold whenever there's a trophy on the line. And today? They completely choked under pressure. Anyone who actually follows sports knows what kind of mental block that looks like.

And looking at the facts, we’re just too clunky, too slow, and frankly, not enough. If we had entered those final two minutes down by one and facing a penalty instead of being down by three and facing a penalty, I'm really not sure how that would've played out. And that's even without counting those two goals they wiped off the board. Even if the penalties stayed the same—and let's not even talk about that infamous foot play—it wouldn't have mattered. Not to mention how they were slicing through the defense while the refs seemed totally blind to their offensive maneuvers.

The Americans totally deserved it—damn them to hell🤮

Come on, get Lino into the lineup. It’s just not working without Irfan...😁

Nice one, Pero, did you guys catch that?
Then just look at some of those basketball players—don't get me wrong, some are great—but you've got one who isn't even playing for the national team because he’s gearing up for the 2012 NBA season, another who's busy driving his kid to dance practice, and I think one might just be dealing with an ingrown toenail.
