Fojke, do you even realize that your detailed predictions could end up costing inexperienced bettors a fortune at the sportsbooks 🙏.s 🤣

Stunned me today. Everyone’s talking about how a draw is the one result we're all dodging, yet they're typing out 'X' like it's their job.🤣 🤣

Don't even sweat it, we’re easily the loudest crowd wherever we show up. People better clear a path when our crew rolls in... and once we score and the stadium goes absolutely mental? It’s pure chaos. Honestly, I was just watching some highlights from the US vs. Iceland game, and those Americans are pathetic. There’s zero atmosphere—just a bunch of people sighing and nothing else. They don't have half the passion our fans bring to the table.

And when I say "someone," I’m not talking about some bureaucratic agency in D.C. 😉


Look, they say God never gives you more than you can handle. 🙂

😬

Besides, where did all those fair-weather fans vanish to? Honestly, if I were a Spaniard right now, I’d be too embarrassed to even show my face in public. 😁

Man, if the Canadians end up with the Russians and the Danes get the Danegeld, who’s left for the Spaniards?
I mean, does the whole group just end up being fourth in line again, taking the easy way out?

Jeremy Phillips54 said:Wait—if the Canadians end up facing the Russians and the Danes take on the Czechs, who’s left for the Spaniards to play? I mean, we wouldn't want the whole group to just stumble into fourth place by taking the easy route, right?


Honestly, why are you getting so hung up on the other matchups? We’ve only got three games left before this whole thing wraps up.

And that's exactly how it's gonna go.😁 I am so sick of this bullshit where we're expected to win every single match.😬
Let those guys tear each other apart instead.

Look, Boza is alright, but he acts like he’s an absolute expert on everything... and since I know she spends a ton of time over in Germany with Lina, I figured she’d "know" we were headed for a loss, right?

And you could even imagine Boza sitting there explaining tactical plays.😁

It’s not like we're dealing with Cico, where you can just grab a glass of wine with him and have him break down the strategy for tomorrow's game.😉

Ever since I stopped listening to Boza, I’ve actually been enjoying the Balic express games. It’s especially fun when those typical Swabians stay stingy with their praise, barely giving us a compliment after a big play. You really have to savor it.

Honestly, it doesn't even matter—the gold is ours for the taking. 🙂 We are just too damn strong right now. 😬

So, the Russians pulled a last-minute win against Canada. (Had to suffer through the live updates on ihf.info to find out)

Which basically means the path to the finals is wide open for the Danes—aside from a few nobodies along the way. Meanwhile, we’re stuck grinding it out against the French, then facing whoever survives the Spain-Germany matchup. Just my luck.

I'm rooting for the Germans in the quarterfinals—hoping someone finally knocks those Dance out. We'll take the trophy, sure, but playing three straight games against teams like that? It's going to be a brutal slog.

7/7, am I the man or what?😬

We handled that like men. Onward we go, one hurdle at a time—and the first one on the list is France.

He only played about 30 minutes today, so he should be feeling pretty fresh for the quarterfinals. Balic was back on the court for a bit too, though just for 25 minutes. Our biggest concern right now is Metlicic; you can really see the fatigue setting in on him. Another issue is Valcic—he’s just not making enough of an impact up front, unfortunately.

And that was enough for him to bag 7 goals? Give me a break.
Sulić isn't even really part of the plan anymore. Lacković is holding it down, both keepers are ready, and Džomba is finally firing on all cylinders🙂

The Spaniards are saying—and this is just my take on it—that Alilovic seems to be the only one who actually treated this game with any level of seriousness. 😬
The Spanish squad came out swinging for the win in what felt like a suspicious matchup where both sides seemed more interested in dodging a showdown with France than anything else. The Americans, even with their absolute powerhouse roster, stepped onto the field looking like they were just out for a casual Sunday stroll through Central Park rather than a competitive match. 🤣

Mirko is just playing to the crowd to impress the big bosses in Barcelona😁

They'll end up buying him out completely at this rate.

Sulić isn't fully there yet. Lacković is on the field, both keepers are set, and Džomba is finally finding his rhythm.🙂

Going 7 for 7 was just pure luck.😬

Honestly, I couldn't care less about Sulić. Now that he's playing more aggressively, I might give him a few minutes if Vori needs some breathing room. Four years ago, it sounded like an incredible plan, but Vori has become a completely different player compared to Sulić. Metlicic is our only real issue; as for Valcica, just send him home—we have no use for him.🙂

That previous quote actually came from Ace. And Marc says: Our guys went in there with everything they had—leaving absolutely zero doubt that they weren't just playing it safe—which is a far cry from the Americans, who seemed more interested in putting on a show for the crowd. 😬
In the second half, Lackovi, Dzomba, and Balic finally flipped a switch—they got serious and started playing some actual, high-level handball. 🤣
Blablabla... We took an unfair loss against an American team that, honestly, didn't even seem sure if they wanted to win or if they were just trying to dodge a matchup with the French.

They definitely know we were playing games with them, 😬 but I honestly don't see where the "injustice" comes into play... unless by injustice they mean we were just way better than them. Come on guys, that's just how it is. 😬

Should I go ahead and start a new thread today, or just hold off until tomorrow? 🙂
