if we scored that last minute attack against Sweden we would have been playing Qatar now

Okay, handballers most definitely will not qualify for Tokyo... This should be an easy task for even Portugal.

 

I wonder if we will have any teams this time around? Sure, water polo is always a near lock, but they already missed enough chances to start a bad omen.

What a drama between  -  !! Our player gets 2 minutes suspension 25 seconds before end of the match and despite wasting chance by Germany we couldn't scored goal in last 4 seconds because our player shot on the leg of German goalkeeper and match ended with draw 23-23 despite that few mintues earlier we were leaders by 5 goals...

When Portugal beat us at the ECh last year and got the OQT spot instead of us I was like "whatever, we would never have a chance against France and Croatia at the OQT anyway". I guess we really missed an opportunity.

Croatia was the biggest disappointment of this tournament, they even struggled against Angola and couldn't beat Japan! if I remember correctly they beat Qatar only because their GK saved 5-6 7m throws.

 

Almost the same team finished 2nd in the European Championship a year ago !

3 seemingly predictable matches and one great match between Spain and Norway. And sadly the most likely upset is on  v  because Sweden is beatable, but I really don't want to see Qatar in the Top4. Denmark and France should march on easily unless a miracle happens.
