Off Topic: Handball EC

So balder, we are in - where are you?

You only can be lucky, that you didn't have to play us this year. This year we for sure had won over you, hmmm, or may be not, hmmm, yes I'm sure, hmmm or not...

Ok, I must admit the other group looked stronger, at least according the names. Damn, a win over Sweden meanwhile means more to me than the championship. This nightmare must stop one day.

No, I'm surprised about our boys indeed. I saw them play their penultimate exhibition game against Russia live in Hannover. They lost that one and played such poor handball, that I already gave them up for the EC. Then they lost their first game in the premilary round against Serbia too and this time I actually switched off my TV during second, cause I couldn't endure that 'bungling' anymore. Surprisingly they now increased from game to game. Sure they only tied France then in spite of 3 goals up 90sec before the end (I threw a bottle of Girlie Beer into my TV set after the final whistle ), but they now really look like a handball TEAM.

Now we have to play the Danes in HF. What about you DanCan? Interested in handball at all? I guess it will be a very close one today - a nailbiter.

The other HF : CRO-SLO

Go Germany!

Sorry, I'm not at all interested in handball. I think it gets way to much press and tv coverage in Denmark. I heard that Germany won the semi-final. Well, Good! And congrats to Germany. Hope they win the final.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!

SLO-GER 25-30

Finally we won a big tournament. Last one was WC 1978 (!!!).

It's an important win for GER, since handball is No.2 sport here. Oh man, I'm really nerve-shattered after this EC.

Yay, BIG congrats to Germany!
The king is dead, long live the king.

I didn't have time to watch many games this EC, but i knew Germany was the team to beat. And will be for some years to come..

So skoal to Germany and Denmark!
