Its probaly gonna be as usual, Denmark, France or Spain winning it. I dont count Croatia with the big 3 as many does, they are still good but not what they used to be. I think Iceland could be a suprise, they have many good players in Bundesliga.

Gonna be intresting to see Serbia. Lithuania aswell.

Sweden - Netherlands was supposed to happen yesterday, a traning game but was canceled due to covid. This f***ing covid. WJC and Handball championship is the best thing there is, now we might be without both.

Speaking of Netherlands, they have 2 world class players in Kay Smits and Luc Steins.

Nice game from Denmark today.

Gidsel is a treat to watch.

Disapointing game from Norway.

Suprised Gidsel went to Fusche Berlin instead of KIel, PSG, Barca etc.

Saugstrup is another treat to watch.

Lowkey kinda guy.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Its all so crazy. From 2003 to 2019 we where not good enough. But we had decent coaches. Now we are good enough but have shit coach.

Let me explain. The swedish coach, Solberg, is probaly a Norwegian nationalist who hates Sweden. How else should one explain the fact that he does not take out any good goal scorers in the middle six? Where are Andreas Nilsson, Sunnefeldt and Lindskog ?In addition, we have no shooters. Where is Jeppesson? Sweden will thus only score on the edge game and via breakthroughs and close shots. Insanity. It is not possible to be so stupid, he does this consciously. Pure sabotage.

 

[Islay1989]

Absolute joke that this is going through. Players dropping left and right, coaches calling substitutes on the day of the game etc.

The luckiest team will win, can't wait for the Final only to find out that the best players won't play because of covid. Just meaningless money-grubbing from the EHF.

Main round.

Teams already out that is suprising: Slovenia, Hungary, Portugal and Serbia.

 

[Islay1989]

How in the world is Serbia surprising?

And this continues to be a travesty, DHB is thinking of pulling the team from the competition, Croatia replaced more than 10 players since the start etc. Nonsense.

Serbia is good team. Croatia is missing many players.

They aren't even remotely on a similar level.

Well, Montenegro smashed Croatia today.

Croatia is not a top team anymore. They have regressed alot these last years.

Give me a break will you? They lost their best goalie before the game and replaced more than 10 players since the start. It's obvious you don't know a thing about anything other than the Swedes. Always fun reading takes from people who watch handball once a year.

I have watched handball since the 90s. If you dont see that Croatia has regressed these last years then you are not watching. Croatia is not on the same level as Spain, Denmark and France and have not been it for years. And no, its not only becuse todays loss.

 

[Islay1989]

Croatia was 2nd at the last Euros. Been like that for years, wth are you on about?

For years? They have one medal in 5 years. Compare that to what Denmark, France and Spain has.

Lol

Lol

Don’t mind him. The guy wrote on a swedish forum that Bosnia and Czech Republic both had better teams than Sweden lol. He know nothing about handball.

Did i say Croatia is bad team? No. However, stats agree with me that Croatia is not top 3 team in the world last 5 years. Denmark, France and Spain is clearly ahead of them.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Impressive game from Croatia - Such heart.
Amazing game!

Denmark stood strong and won against a Croatia team willing to do anything for their nation.

 

[Havre]

First time Norway beat Spain since 1997

Not convinced at all by this team. Without Rød and Johannessen it is quite weakened individually, but they played well tonight - even if Spain were weak.

I think the coach has managed the team better than the previous championship. Been rotating a lot more.

Would be sad to miss out on the semi final because they lost to Russia.

You said that Serbia (a team that hasn't done shit in eons) not coming out of their group is a surprise . And then reinforced your hilarious take by saying Croatia did nothing for years. No one is arguing if they are top 3 or not.

Anyway, this who tournament is a travesty, Duvnjak can't play because of Corona, Cindric came to play after being bed-ridden and you can see he can't breathe after playing for more than a couple of mins, Stepancic not there, the corpse of Mirko Alilovic being called up because of Corona, more than 10+ players were changed because of positive test etc. Just insane this is going through.

And in all of this, Karabatic is playing despite testing positive EHF and IHF are doing everything in their power to ruin this game.

Norway vs Sweden for the semifinal spot. Norway looks much stronger than Sweden. Its kind of ironic that we have a coach from Norway.
