Legend and class act, Svetislav Pesic.

We came out determined to get Milutinov going, even though it was clear he is struggling against German zone. Forcing Milutinov basically costed us a game.

schroder replaces vanvleet is actually an upgrade.

Anyone else missing from this German roster? Their defense is really something in that they can adjust to the quicker teams (USA, Canada, etc) but has the size if the other team wants to go big...

Hartenstein, Kleber? Of course Serbias misses are on another level, but do not go full AMerican with B team excuse. It is what it is, Last years Serbian team was stacked, didnt even make medal stage, you never know how things would have turned with different variables.

If I as a German can laugh about it nobody should have a problem.

Little joke about the same topic:
English Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl meet one day after Germany won against England in soccer. Says Kohl to Thatcher, "We beat you in your national sport!" Replies Thatcher: "Well, we beat you in your national sport twice..."
