Just because Tunisia won against Macedonia? You shouldn't forget that ... a) Croatia, Norway and Denmark are in the same group and i am sure that all of them would've beaten Tunisia, so Tunisia got very lucky whit the "draw". b) Macedonia was only 11th at the last european championships, other nations like Hungary, Russia or even Iceland are probably stronger at the moment. I think Tunisia would barely rank among the top 10 european nations in handball.

I think you can see most people are happy with Tunisia's win, so your comment is a bit off NearPup 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I think Tunisia would barely rank among the top 10 european nations in handball. 1) many users, when the draw came in the old forum everyone was sure that Poland and Macedonia were unquestionably going to get the tickets. 2) I don't agree that Macedonia is weaker than those specific nations you mentioned (results of mid-level european handball teams seem to vary a lot with each tournament), but it isn't important to my point. I just criticize the eurocentric prejudice that made everyone predict Macedonia when Tunisia has a lot of players based in european clubs and has produced great results in the past.

They are pretty good considering their size, but ... 1) They have no teams in water polo, rugby or football. 2) Spain or France are (much) stronger overall in team sports.
