I know Norway is heavily cutting finances in ski jumping so presumably there is some economical shift in sports over there but it would be insane to have the likes of JTB or Riiber compete for Qatar or any other petroleum country now

What a match! Didn’t expect the win after the superb performance from the German gk, but they actually did it!!   

With Russia’s ongoing ban I’m a little surprised at least one of  hasn’t suddenly gotten very good at biathlon, cross country skiing, figure skating and/or ice hockey.

I said that Portugal would beat Germany.    

I honestly didn't expect the victory, not even my most optimistic self. But handball here has gained great visibility due to the historic campaign (at least more than it usually has) and I was hoping that we would have at least one great game against the Danes. It had been a long time since the world championships had even been broadcast here. But the main fear is that the sport will be abandoned again, like what happened after the end of our golden generation of women's handball. I hope not.

But in general the team deserves appreciation  carvalho did well and montes did some good saves the bad time  was the black out minutes between 40 and 52 when the team was struggling to score    good tournament and wish you all the best .. and …. Consistency 😉
