Handball WC 2017 - France

Belarus :flag_by: 27:25 :flag_hu: Hungary
We unexpectedly lost our last match in the group against Belarus. So we had one of the best teams, Denmark. We have only a small chance unfortunately, but i hope Xabate will solve this. Sweden would be much easier opponent. But if we lose, it would not be so big problem, good teams already fell out, like Iceland or Macedonia. -
Good news for us: Laci Nagy will play against Denmark.
Good luck boys -
Great game yesterday: :flag_br: 27-28:flag_ea: . We suffered more than predicted , the Brazilians played an excellent game, but the important thing is we are in quarterfinals. We await to Croatia or Egypt
-
Fantastic performance by Hungary, specially by their goalie Mikler, and the actual Olympic champion Denmark is out
-
Hungary :flag_hu: 27:25 :flag_dk: Denmark
Sensation!
I think that it was our best game in the last two years.
Finally we had a good goalie, Mikler saved like in Veszprém, we had Nagy, who helped with being there, Jamali played also well, i can´t name a player who played bad.
Next game against Norway, maybe we can play as good against another Scandinavien team.
GO HUNGARY! :flag_hu: -
Congra to Spain
-
@AlbertoSab12 Great Game
-
Day with sensational results continues, Qatar knocks out European champion Germany!
I hope at least we against Egypt will defend the honour of favourites and win :=)
-
Croatia :flag_hr: 21 v 19 :flag_eg: Egypt
Oh well, attacking wise this wasnt a grat game, but at least our defense did good job and we are in quarterfinals. Against Spain, if we want any chances, our attack will must be much much better. Lets go Croatia!!
-
All quarterfinalist are known and these are pairs.. one more step to be passed to get into the medal fight!
-
What about a Croatia-Hungary semi-final?
-
@Sir-Varga-Sándor Let's hope so!
@vince13carter Of course there are many teams playing good handball nowadays, there are plenty of styles teams an adjust to, but let's be realistic, in last 5 or so years there are some teams that are slightly above others. And those teams are Denmark, France and Spain and they are always main candidates for medals and of course its always surprising to see them out early. Denmark was brilliant in group stage and was trashing everyone easilly while Hungary lost 3 games in group and of course Denmark was big favourite to win that one. Surelly a surprise. Qatar hasnt played great in this tournament so far as well, whie Germany was brilliant and Germany was only team that won 2 medals in 2016 on big competitions (Gold at Euro and Bronze at Rio), also Qatar doesnt have all those "bought" players anymore, many of those left only Capote and 2 or 3 more are left
-
@vince13carter Sure, I get what you are saying. I didnt said that results individually were sensations though, I said that day has sensational results - as both Olympic and European champions were knocked early on the same day
Same thing for our game with Spain. It wont be sensation, but if we win it will be a little surprise, as from everything we saw in tournament so far I must be realistic and admit that Spain is firm favourite in our match.
-
Norway is the first semifinalist! First semifinal of their history, congratz! 2 more hours and batle between Croatia and Spain starts and the winner of that match will paly Norway in semis! Lets go CROATIA!!!
-
SPAIN HAS FALLEN!!! CROATIA IS IN THE SEMIFINAL!!
D What a performance from our guys, really did not see this one coming, its like they were saving themselves for this match only! Norway, are you ready?!
-
Brilliant matches today all in all, we have 4 teams left battling fot the top of the world.
-
@vince13carter Thanks, good luck tonight. Would be awesome if your guys could make a surprise and knockout the hosts
-
France :flag_fr: 31 v 25 :flag_si: Slovenia
The hosts make the forst finalists of the World Championship. Well done. Good fight from Slovenia, they werent bad at all.
-
Great tournament for Slovenia, they still have a chance for bronze medal. France in the final? Not a surprise
In the second semi final Norway leads against Croatia on the half time 12-10. Are you surprised?
