Nope. they will be out if they lose to Spain, even by 1 goal. on other hand Slovenia is 99% qualified,

 

Are you sure about that?

Swedish media says that a 2 goals loss is enough...

1) many users, when the draw came in the old forum everyone was sure that Poland and Macedonia were unquestionably going to get the tickets.

 

2) I don't agree that Macedonia is weaker than those specific nations you mentioned (results of mid-level european handball teams seem to vary a lot with each tournament), but it isn't important to my point. I just criticize the eurocentric prejudice that made everyone predict Macedonia when Tunisia has a lot of players based in european clubs and has produced great results in the past.

Ok, i dont remember saying that and i dont agree. Macedonia isnt really a strong team and non-european teams like Argentina, Tunisia, Egypt or Qatar can beat them any time. In my opinion Hungary and Russia are stronger, but Macedonia qualified, so there is nothing really to argue about. Iceland is very "up and down", so its difficult to say if they wouldve done better than Macedonia here.

Oops, you are right

 

if Spain beat Sweden by 2 goals, then both teams will have a GD of -1. let's say Spain beat Sweden X to X-2. then:

 

SLO +2 GD

SWE -1 GD / Goals 22+X

ESP -1 GD / Goals 21+X

 

SWE advances virtue of scoring more goals.

Netherlands? They are pretty good considering their size, but ...

1) They have no teams in water polo, rugby or football.

2) Spain or France are (much) stronger overall in team sports.

 

no team in football are you serious :crazy:!! they have been many times in the final / semi world cup /euro and these players legends : Vanbasten, koeman, Gulit ...Cruyff

and in women's  water polo  they won the silver in the WC

just look at the table of medals   they are always one of the best

He means we have no teams in water polo, rugby and football (and basketball) at the next Olympics :p 

 

Apart from that, I must agree that we are definitely not the strongest country overall in Europe...maybe we are top-10, but no way we are first :d 

 

But alright, this thread is about handball and at least there we do have a team in Rio :cheer:

I was talking about qualified teams for Rio, i thought thats what we are talking about here ...

Netherlands also didnt qualify for european championships in football this year, they arent very strong anymore and you cant compare their current team to the team they had about 40 years ago. Its almost like saying that Hungary is very strong in football, with players like Puskas, Kocsis, Bozsik, Hidegkuti, Grosics, Czibor or Lorant.

    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
