Fair enough. Would just say that quite a lot of experts have Sweden among the main contenders, at least in front of Spain and close to or above France as the main challenger to Denmark (have you seen what a beast Jim Gottfridsson have been lately?). Egypt shouldn't be underestimated but at least Sweden are in front of them by quite a bit. Norway as well if they manage to pull things together.

Gottfridsson is a beast i'm a big fan, and may be i'm wrong or a little bit bias :d ,but i still think the depth of the Egyptian squad will be too much.

Sweden at home would be an upset if they win against Egypt? :yikes:

 

Like seriously this must be the dumbest thing I have read in a long time. :facepalm:

Handball is not like football where fans can make a real difference,and i was talking in general regardless of the WC, but u know what ? if everything goes as expected Egypt should meet Sweden in QF, lets see how much Sweden improved since the Olympics. :yes

Actually Sweden is the reigning European champion ahead of example Denmark, France and Spain. 

 

We also took silver in WC 2021 in your Egypt. What exactly has Egypt done lately to say it’s an upset if Sweden beat them? 
 

Believe me Egypt can win against Sweden. But don’t be arrogant to say it’s an UPSET if Sweden wins.

Believe me nothing against Sweden, i was just giving my opinion based on my own observation and i've already said i might be wrong.

 

but i'm sorry if my comments seemed arrogant 

take it easy and lets enjoy the tournament

Oh, Egyptian guys really enjoyed this win here. Very passionate about this sport.

 

They spent half of the evening talking about Mayar Sharif though and they keep saying she’s hot. 👍😉

And today the most important game for Team Poland against Slovenia.

 

My Mom goes to Spodek to watch the game. She is a huge fan! She should bring luck to the team.

 

And on Sunday my daughter goes with her colleagues to watch Germany vs Serbia game.

Our team is poor. We didn't even qualify to this tournament, we are only here because of the wild card. We won against :KSA which was expected. But if we win against Poland and France it will be a huge surprise. We've fallen quite low since 2017 when we won the bronze medal.

Well I'm really surprised that they consider Mayar Sherif hot :d Handball is very popular here in Egypt not ofc as football,  but especially in WCHs many people follow NT just because they win :d

I've never put very high expectations for our Handball team , as they always choke when it really matters , but this generation is built different they always have the desire for more and don't fear against Big teams , for me the Mental side plays a vital role with Egyptian players so when u face Sweden in quarters and u have defeated them in last 2 OG , so this really helps to believe that u can win the match unlike when u play Denmark , France or Spain where u always lose , for me if this match happens in quarterfinals Sweden should be the more favorite side , they have their fans whom play a big role ofc in handball at least on refereeing side , we didn't have our fans back in 2021 which i guess could have been much more helpful for us against Sweden and Denmark back then , we're missing Yahia Khaled who can score 10 goals in these kind of matches , who defend very well , Mohsin ramadan is such a good player but he doesn't have the experience of playing against world class GKs like Palicka so it's definitely much different story and u can't guarantee if Ali Zein for example move to left back that he will have the same effect when he plays on right , we have a very obvious problem with defending especially from center so whenever u will face a team with world class Pivot , this problem will really occur , finally our GK Karim Hendawy isn't always trustable , he can be a world class one like yesterday or like when we face Sweden or Gwermany in Olympics and he can be a very average one , so u can just pray that this will be his day and this's our main problem goalkeepers

    • 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.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
