Why haha?

Because I don't want to watch the team I root for beat themselves over and over because they have a dumb game plan.

They have owned them on the Women’s Series, not sure how they weren’t able to beat them even once here 

 

Mevius is new to the German team, but it’s not like she’s a superstar…

They pretty clearly need a new coaching staff and a new sports psychologist.

They are legit the most frustrating team I'm ever watched. Sometimes it looks like they don't want to win. Sometimes they look like easily the best team in the competition. 

I feel the same way about them, ONLY during the Olympics though. 
 

Anyways the fouls, and the lack of clutchness down the stretch cost them. I’m quite annoyed, but they still have a bronze medal match to go, hopefully they can get it done.

I will spare myself the misery of watching them in the bronze medal match.

 

Hopefully they win it, but tbh I'm not gona be all that sad if they lose.

They just seem to panic when it's close and start missing easy shots/take impossible shots. Like, they're up by one with 2 or 3 minutes left. Why are they taking terrible 2-point shots? They're the better team, go in, get the 1 and/or force a foul. Make the other team make mistakes. Don't make your own unforced mistakes for them.

The more important question is can they avoid beating themselved.

 

has been dominant at the Olympics when they play well.

They can, they can also lose against the US. Any team can beat anyone in this tournament, it’s really wide open.

Coaching staff? Eh, Gaucher did help them win silver at the World Cup in 2022. Sports psychologist? If they don’t have one already, abso-fucking-lutely.
