why Norway at the same level with Germany and they even have much better results than them recently , so Norway might defeat Germany and if u beat Germany then u can qualify , u were leading over Norway by 4 goals after the end of 1st half and Germany doesn't have a player with the quality of Sagosen , so everything can happen

Let's hope anything can happen. However, nobody expected this level of the Dutch team anyway, so it's already a big performance of them.

What happened to Argentina? I know that american teams are still far from the level of european teams, but 20 goals difference?

- Many older players retired and the younger ones are very mediocre.   

- The coach is just some former assistant they hired because it was cheap.   

- they barely play games outside big tournaments (this is a perennial problem though).   

   

 

Nobody cares about this sport anymore. There was one good generation (the Youth 2007/Juniors 2009) and they did the best they could but nothing really changed.

Hungary making every possible effort to lose that game. Not that I'm complaining, I actually think it's pretty good.

If our Olympic hopes die today against  I hope everyone just resigns. There's no point going on if we can't even finish inside the Top12.

Too bad, in Brazil the problem is bad management. I don't see a good future for american handball after all.

The referees made a huge mistake in the last 10 minutes when the Denmark player scored a goal after obvious 4 steps ,and when Ivano balic protested the referee gave the bench 2 min suspension ,I'm not saying Croatia must have won if the referee didnt make that mistake but when the game ends in a draw any ball could have made a huge difference.

 

Best game in the tournament till now though and had a world cup final vibes.

The refs made some pretty bad mistakes both ways. Not their beest match!

Christ almighty, we made this much harder than it should have been. Now it's on to Sweden to help us by beating Iceland and Portugal.

Hungary deserved to lose, but this pathetic team from Brazil doesn't deserve to be in the top 8 in the world, so I think it was a fair result.

Iceland Players afread of taking a shot on Palicka even when Sweden plays with 4 in defense
