What exactly is the rule with dribbling the ball?

This Lijewski guy for Poland seems like a bit of a badass.

2 incredible saves in a row by Poland's goalkeeper before Croatia just got that shot by him!

Is it a rule that you cannot have a shot of the crowd without showing at least one gorgeous woman? :lol:

Croatia is making this a fight!

But that was an impressive shot by Poland.

Is it wrong that I wish that this game was being called by American announcers? I'd love to see Bill Worrel & Clyde Drexler from the Rockets broadcast trying to pronounce all of these names.

Croatia is better than Poland. Its top 3 NTs in the world But Poland has some bombers. I couldnt belive where Bielecky scored from. Unbelievable. He is a beast. Only reason we are not in the lead though is the goalkeeper. Really is on fire for Poland.

That Brozovic dude is not a man I'd want running into me at full speed.

It doesn't matter that it wasn't an intentional hit...that just looked painful!

(edit - that comment was in regards to the knee-shin contact, not the Red Card)

These guys are playing on a synthetic surface with no knee or elbow pads. Surprised that there isn't more blood.

bobbeaver · Post #55 » by **bobbeaver** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 12:57 am

Damn that was just dumb from us. 3 completely stupid mistakes. we ll probably pay fr it with a loss. completely unnecessary

bobbeaver · Post #56 » by **bobbeaver** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 12:58 am

Lol yeh Broyovic has a temper too on the court lol. I know him. He is HUGE

Sorry about the result for all of our Croatian friends here, but that was one entertaining game! It looks like those mistakes that bobbeaver mentioned did come back to haunt them.

And thank you, bobbeaver, for putting up with some questions and comments from a new handball fan while you were watching the game!

Yeh oh yeh it is but unlike other sports u kinda walk it off lmao Well its kinda like kickboxing your body kinda gets used to the hits and gets tougher and bleed less. What kind of beating they receive in games they get plenty of such training lol

Lol....these were the guys I was expecting a sure medal from. Again and again as a nation we are proving to be the biggest chokers there are in the world. We are such a losers. Soccer team, basketball team, individual sports. If there is a chance to **** something up we will. What we did in the last 5 minutes is a crime. If there were prison sentences for stupidity out guys just booked themselves life in prison.

We lost in a 2 man show (Bielicki and the goalkeeper) from a team that if we play 9 more times we will win 8. This will hurt and maybe it's just karma. Payback for the humiliation we made them in the Euro's. This is probably the last time we lose to Poland in the foreseeable future and it's a lose that hurts the most.

Hey im Croatian and im pissed. We coulda won easily. Those were just unbelievably dumb mistakes. Bad simple pass when it mattered and 2 suspensions. But their goaly killed us too.

And no problem always happy to help plus we can talk about it lol

I dont mind loosing but we beat ourselves really. Oh well.
