Handball Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

[Jur 689]

Our second half was just stupid. Only 5 goals and the coach doing nothing.

Well deserved victory for Slovenia. Hope we can win both Iran and Sweden and still make the Olympics, it would be a total failure otherwise...

Norway wins the debut match. 

Amazing match for Bahrein that lose the match in the last 10 minuts

Hard to expect anything more when our team had as much as 3 (!) days of preparation. We'll probably fail to qualify.

It's all down to the match against Norway. They will have to show how much they wish to be in Rio. Remember I support Croatia whenever they don't intersect Romania. 

These qualification tournaments are so structured that it often depends on a day's form.

Don't know why such pessimism. We haven't beaten Denmark/Spain/France for more than 3 years, which says we are simply not the top team anymore. But we certainly have much stronger team than Norway. What I am afraid of is match between Denmark and Norway, and ''Scandinavian kitchen''. Hopefully it won't happen again.
