thepharoah 2,284 Posted January 17, 2019 #101 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Main Round here we come The funniest thing is that we could have qualified even with 4 points we have a tied game with Sweden until last 3 munites , we led Hungary in most parts of the game , and also we could have been eliminated if Qatar just succeded to tie with Angola Or Paliska hasn't saved a last second shot from Qatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agger 1,587 Posted January 17, 2019 #103 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I know there are a lot of factors, but it's really sad that 4 of the 5 most interesting matches of the group stage are at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that was the expectation considering they were seeded in Pot 6. Just noticed the next championship will have 32 teams and no increase for European Teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed the next championship will have 32 teams and no increase for European Teams interesting, I didn't know that until reading your post here. I see in wikipedia that 7 spots are allocated to Asia ! I wonder if there is any source for that. that just doesn't make sense, 7 is TOO MUCH for Asia. usually there is a huge gap between top 5-6 and the rest and even those top 5 are nobodies in World of handball. but at least that's good for our team. even though Handball is probably our biggest sport in term of choking ! when Asia had 3 spots. we always finished 4th and whenever AHF had 4 spots we finished 5th. we also finished 2nd in Olympic qualifier with 1 spot available I wonder if they are capable of finishing 8th if there are 7 quotas for Asia I have to correct this "no increase for European teams" is probably not accurate, because Europe has 3 fixed quotas like other continents. you see more European teams in the competition only because of the number of European teams finishing in top 9 in previous tournament. Asia had 4 here (later 5 with Japan's WC) only because Qatar made it to the top 8 in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
