Men's Handball EHF European Championship 2020

[Agger 1,700]

A terrible 2nd half by Iceland (not that Hungary was bad in any way) finished it. First time since 2005 that we don't advance! Can't blame anybody but ourself.

 

Now let's destroy Russia and be back on top in Tokyo!

[Vektor 3,326]

The teams that are fighting for the 2 OQT spots in the Main round:

 

Group I

 

 - 2 pts

 

 - 0 pts

 

 - 0 pts

 

Group II

 

 - 2 pts

 

 - 2 pts

 

 - 0 pts

 

 - 0 pts

 

This can still go in a lot of ways. And I find it an absolutely awful decision that there won't be a match for the 7th place. 

[Vektor 3,326]

Also, I guess now that both Denmark and France are out, the chances are higher that one of the 7 teams I mentioned earlier wins the ECh and qualifies for Tokyo, which would be an awful news for Egypt. Still, Slovenia is probably the only nation without a WCh Top7 placement that can win this, and even that is a long shot.

Yeah, it's quite possible it will decide the second team to compete in the final Olympic qualifier.

I would not mind if we won Euro and already qualify for Olympics. This would be sattisfaction for stupid system in basketball or volleyball, where you can not qualify even with title (or silver).

Poor Slovenia, the stupid system in basketball will give them a big chance to go to the Olympics even if they didn't bother qualifying for the World Cup. And the European title won in 2017 won't qualify them to the Olympics that are held three years later, what a scandal. Something similar is happening for Italy, that won't be in Tokyo despite winning the 1999 Eurobasket.

not to mention that we are not playing the men's Football tournament since Beijing 2008 despite we won the Gold Medal in 1936!

[LDOG 2,468]

It's unbelievable that they didn't plan a 7th place game. 

 

Spain-Croatia-Germany are getting 1-2-3 for sure. The other 3 teams are too weak. 

 

I think Slovenia will be in semis, then maybe Hungary or Portugal will decide 7th place on points/GD against... Austria?

Resale sites overflowing with tickets for the main round and even the final. Sometimes I'm really saddened by the way people look at this
