Only five days to go before the beginning of the Euro Championships.

 

World champion Netherlands miss their star players Nycke Groot (retired) and Estavana Polman (injured). Best stand-in Delaila Amega is also injured. So nobody in The Netherlands expect a good result. Otherwise, in 2019 nobody expected the world title either. Hopefully they can surprise again. 

 

But to be honest, top 8 would be okay. Pool C is very heavy: Serbia and especially Hungary are very strong opponents. 

 

@VektorWhat do you think? Is the Hungarian team ready for the European title?

No idea, I didn't pay that close attention to Hungarian handball lately. All I know is that we won the friendly against Sweden yesterday.

Do you know whether the Dutch matches will be broadcasted live somewhere? I assume NOS will only have summaries.

 

There was a great one hour Ziggo Sport documentary released this week on the world championship by the way!

not sure if it's gonna work in your Country (geo-blocking's always possible), but normally here's the place to watch all the Euro 2020 games for free...

As far as I know, all Dutch matches will be broadcasted live at Ziggo Sport. The documentary was great indeed, brought back all the memories of last year's World title.

This is exactly why we shouldn't have these competitions when everyone is getting infected. The Hungarian basketball team was just ejected from its bubble a few days ago because we didn't have enough players left to play matches. I get why sport clubs are still playing national leagues during these times, but mixing players with NTs is just a ridiculous idea no matter how much they try to protect the teams, and it's going to create some bizarre results if EHF and all the teams won't get incredibly lucky in the next few weeks.

Laura Moisă is tested positive for COVID, but it shows no symptoms so she will do the test again tomorrow

The Championship starts tomorrow! I'm looking forward to  vs  &  vs

Solid performance for the German team beating Romania 22:19. World Championship finalist Spain loses to Russia 22:31.

vs has started. We're without Kudlacz-Kloc, Kobylinska (injuries) and Achruk (maternity leave). It's gonna be a miracle if we lose by less than 10 (only if Norway take the foot off the gas in first game of the championships   ).
