Men's Handball IHF Olympic Games Qualification Tournaments 2021

[MHSN 3,619]

oh man, what a drama. I'm happy for Portugal but that was a VERY cruel way for Croatia to lose the quota. France had 3 goals lead in last 4-5 minutes ...

What the f judges takes hand in last attack in 2 passes..cant belive

[Jack Gonçalves 27]

OMG so deserved after the death of their Goalkeeper! I'm so happy for them.

 

Dramatic finish but specially deserved after bad judge decisions against Croatia!

This is the official death of croatian handball. All of the players that could give us at least 5 more years will retire and the new generations have no leaders. Probaby never gonna see olympics again. Two-time olympic champions - signing out!

[Vektor 3,326]

I think this is the first time ever that the Olympic men's handball tournament won't have a single Slavic nation (unless we count the 1936 tournament).

This is quickly turning into a dumpster fire...

 

Just for some perspective, we were already at a point where our NOC simply stopped (!) sending athletes to qualification events (table tennis, wrestling).

 

And now, after losing a seemingly safe qualification, I can't even imagine what will the consequences be.

[Milan 26]

Well, it wouldn't have come as a surprise, hadn't I seen France leading 28-25 four minutes or so before finish. To be eliminated this way really hurts.

We were probably also a victim of the schedule, but that happens in sport. Congratulations to Portugal.

One should have expected this outcome, whenever France and Portugal are involved, it doesn't end good for us.

Where do you have this information from? Something confirmed or you just assume?

Given how unusual it is and that it involves two different federations, it seems like a fair assumption...
