This thread is really 18 pages of users hating on their own countries’ teams and getting into petty disputes. It’s so on-brand it hurts :p

Hey, a positive!: For the first time I've heard somebody shout USA in a handball arena! :p

you definitely got a point :d actually this's somehow ordinary in handball where many teams can defeat each other and we have a lot of close and tense matches with some referees'  mistakes so it happens

Not much suspense left for the final round and almost everything has been very predictable so far.

 

:FRA  :ESP  :SWE  :GER  :NOR  :EGY already qualified as it was expected since the start of the tournament.

 

:DEN will very likely join them unless a miracle happens. 

 

So the only question left is this: :HUN or :POR. But that will be decided by a Swedish team who have nothing to lose or gain from that match. The Swedish coach already declared that he will rest his players against Portugal. So yeah. The only reason I think we still have a chance is because Sweden is at home, so they might still try to win that match, even if some key players will rest.

 

Anyway, this has been a very boring World Championships so far for the most part, the real event won't start until the QFs.

As far as I can tell the teams most likely to finish 9th and 10th are :CRO and :SLO right? 

 

That way is the how the OQT spots will likely go...

 

:FRA - host

:EGY - should be a direct qualifier from Africa

:ESP  :SWE  :GER  :NOR  :DEN  (:HUN  or :POR) - one of them gets the WCh quota, another of them wins the ECh quota next year, rest go to QQT

:CRO  :SLO  - last two OQT spots goes to them if four Top8 teams directly qualify to the Games

 

Now watch Egypt "mess this up" by stealing the WCh quota from Europe. :d In that case two African teams would directly qualify to the Games, probably Egypt and Cape Verde.

I agree , the last time we saw a lot more competitiveness and big matches , Russia defeated Slovenia , then Slovenia tied with Sweden and Belarus tied with Sweden , Egypt vs Slovenia , Croatia vs Argentina and Qatar vs Argentina , Egypt vs Sweden , Brazil vs Spain , Tunisia vs Brazil , Portugal vs Norway last edition was much more interesting

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
