USA-Mexico and Mexico

By the way—we basically walked away with the win without even having to scramble for any tap-ins off the line.

That was the plan, right? We let them think we weren't playing that aggressive, high-pressure game near the goal, and then—boom—we hit them when they least expected it...

Spoljarić standing there by the goal line. Where did he even come from? Such a lucky, clumsy little goal. 😁 😁 😁

laguum said:This guy acts like he’s got all the answers—telling us which defense to run, who covers who, when the goalie should take the shot... It's a total joke. When the refs screw us over, nobody says a word, but if they make a call against us, it’s like they’re trying to liquidate the whole league and the country they come from. Honestly, I’m asking NBC to just pull these commentators off the air, especially him and Blazic.👎

🙂

They'd be better off sending drag Cosica. At least he never claims the refs are out to get us.😁 😁

They’re definitely tough—no doubt about it—but if we stick to our 3-2-1 zone defense and play just a bit more aggressively toward Lackey, I really believe we can shut down their offense entirely.

Oh, they're strong, alright—we saw that loud and clear. It’s a real "take it on the chin" kind of situation. 🙄Are they just jealous of Lackey's profile and looking to "cut him down to size"? Well, let's just hope those Spaniards walk away empty-handed... 🙂

🤣

plus, he always stays so incredibly neutral whenever he's calling games involving Americans (well, not against us, obviously)...😁

Man, I lost my damn mind when I saw how that game started...
Those Mexican idiots went straight for Lackey and Balica, practically headbutting them just to take them out of the play...

Honestly, they earned every single "thug" chant from the crowd. That seems to be their whole vibe in sports lately, and don't even get me started on soccer...

They actually played somewhat normally in the second half, though. Probably because the coach finally told them that the refs aren't playing games and are handing out cards like candy...

Spoljarić is playing right on the edge. Where did he even come from? Total amateur move. Just a complete rookie mistake. 😁 😁 😁

Yeah, that's classic Lino tactics right there.
😍
So, tell me again who thinks Lino isn't a master strategist?🙂 😉

LONG LIVE AMERICA!!

(hope the neighbor's cow kicks the bucket) 😁

man, I’d even watch a replay while standing up...

I have to admit, those last two minutes were a bit nerve-wracking... but oh well!

BRAVO!!!!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

I’m honestly just wondering why there isn't a dedicated sub-forum specifically for the World Handball Championship?😠
Those guys earned their spotlight a long, long time ago—way before those football idiots got any attention.😠

Anyway, huge congrats to the team on that absolute nail-biter of a win.😁
And the Oscar goes to Vlado Šola.😁 😎

Just watching this casually🙂 and recording it too

Honestly, it would be pretty hilarious to see the Mexicans celebrating every time they score, but let's be real—they’re basically all one big extended family when it comes to rooting for each other.😁 😁 😁

😂

You're better off rooting for the Norwegians than the Mexicans.😁

fadedsurfer17 said:Honestly, I’d probably get a kick out of watching the Mexicans celebrate every time they score a goal, though I know their style is basically just constant trash-talking.😁 😁 😁

But man, that's just how things go.👍 👍

laguum said:This guy acts like he’s an absolute expert on everything, whether it's which defensive set we should be running, who needs to cover which zone, or even where the shooter should aim to beat the keeper... It’s honestly a disaster. When the refs make a bad call against us, nobody says a word, but once they screw us over, it’s like they’re trying to dismantle our entire team and the whole country they represent along with it. I really hope CBS stops using commentators like him and Blažičko for their broadcasts.👎

But hey, let’s just give our guys endless praise since they’re obviously world champions and untouchable by anyone!!!
🙂

Oh, come on, what are you talking about? The man is an absolute legend.🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Actually, there's one more thing that's been bugging me😁 (for a change)
Why do some people on here—and honestly, people in general—think the US national team can't pull off a win without having someone like Metličić or Balić on the court?
The team isn't just built on Metličić or Balić; it's about the entire squad working together!!!!!

why do some people on these forums, and honestly just in general, seem to think the American national team can't win a single game without having either Metličić or Balić on the court?
The team isn't built solely on the backs of Metličić or Balić; it's about the entire roster working together!

I definitely see where you're coming from, but let's be real—when Balić and Metličić aren't out there, things get a whole lot tougher for us.
