I knew Handball is not popular in Indonesia and they even wanted to drop Handball from the competition but I wonder if Handball even exists in Indonesia ?! I mean even in amateur level.  because you must be VERY bad to lose 40-17 to Hong Kong !! Hong Kong itself will get massacred by better teams here. that KSA-INA match will be very ugly. prepare for something like 70-2 scoreline ! unless Saudis show mercy

 

and Qatar also beat Malaysia 64-16 :d and unlike what our coach thinks. Qataris bring everything they have to Indonesia to win the gold. they have have their legendary GK Saric here ! so it will be incomplete Iran vs a very complete Qatar ! I just hope they don't get humiliated. even though finishing 2nd in group isn't that bad next round we will be in the same group with Hong Kong, Bahrain and the winner of KOR-JPN match. we need one big win to enter the semifinal.

 

Asian Handball is very predictable. there are 7 teams much much better than the rest. (and Qatar much better than anybody else ) and now 6 with Kuwait being suspended. out of the favorites for medal looks like the only team missing key players is Iran :cry: we have so many players in 2nd/3rd tier European leagues and unfortunately their clubs didn't release them for the competition. they were supposed to join the team in middle of the 2nd round but our coach decided to not use them at all thinking this is not "fair" for other players.

Indonesian Handball Federation was created in 2007. Almost never tried international competition (also not that popular in South East Asia, which made it harder to develop) until 2017.

 

Not even contested in our National Games until 2016! So yeah basically it's an alien in Indonesia. Even hiring Yoon Tae-il as a coach won't help :wall:

In that HKG VS INA match, the coach was visibly upset and facepalming a few times. When he gave instructions in Korean, I can feel his frustration

    • Good luck then! Keep us updated please!!!   And see you in 2026 olympics!!!
    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
