bestmen is gonna be sooo right, Norway will play the final

[LDOG 2,199]

1st half of argentina: missed shot, turnover, missed shot, turnover, missed shot, turnover...

 

At least they reduced the difference to keep a little chance vs Egypt.

[LDOG 2,199]

It's not a surprise Qatar losing either, they lost half of their bought foreigners.

[LDOG 2,199]

I'm happy because I predicted Brazil

[LDOG 2,199]

Some really weird result in Asian junior championshio...

 

 86 - 31  

 

How is it possible for a team that concedes 86 goals to score 31

Curious?

"Won" qualification?

 

Yes, won qualification. I'm sorry, did I make a typo or some grammatical mistake?

[LDOG 2,199]

If I'm not mistaken except Gensheimer and Groetzki (who were injured) all other players were part of the curious team that won qualification.

We lost to Greenland  

 

Atrocious women brazilian referees that had no clue about the rules but still with that it's no excuse, shameful! Now if we don't beat Chile we are out of WCh.

If Brazil even qualifies for the QF, which definitely isn't a given  

 

They objective is a medal. If they can't beat at least one of those nations (and Angola), then there is no way they win one.

[LDOG 2,199]

Terrible decision from Jordi Ribera!

 

or maybe he doesn't rate Slovenia/Sweden?

[LDOG 2,199]

Men's Draw:

 

Group A

 Argentina

 Croatia

 Denmark

 France

 Qatar

 Tunisia

 

Group B

 Brazil

 Egypt

Germany

 Poland

 Slovenia

 Sweden

[LDOG 2,199]

Clever choice from Brazil coach, he gave priority to having a QF against either an unexperienced or underperforming team instead of just beating Korea and Argentina to pass group. Strong feeling all medallists will come from group A.

[LDOG 2,199]

Women's Draw:

 

Group A

  Angola

 Brazil

 Montenegro

 Norway

 Romania

 Spain

 

Group B

 Argentina

 France

 Netherlands

 Russia

 South Korea

 Sweden

[LDOG 2,199]

I just hope to avoid Brazil in both if possible. Don't want to give them 2 easy satisfactions  we are not going to win any matches anyway. 

[LDOG 2,199]

Brazil will probably choose the group with Qatar in Men's and the group with Argentina in women's (unless NOR and KOR are in that group too).

Yes, Sweden is second for goal difference

 

No, it's goal difference in the matches played between the tied teams.

Well Europe is generally speaking the strongest continent in most Olympic sports.

 

I agree, but I wrote "isn't always true".

1) Who said that?

2) Why? 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. 

 

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.

[LDOG 2,199]

One more lesson for totallympics euro-users that "europe > everything else" isn't always true.
