Sweden are the current champions. I've seen a few games and Sweden vs Bosnia for instance. A 29-20 victory and it looked ok, but there are things to work on.
France vs North Macedonia 39-29 was brilliant. It felt like France scored every time they got the ball. Who can stop them? All players huge.
Spain lost surprisingly to Croatia yesterday by the same result, 29-39. It gave 1140 times the money on the betting. Wow!

After the victiry vs Bosnia, Sweden beat Georgia as well, comfortably by 42-26. Now we're playing against The Netherlands. 15-15 at half time. The Netherlands play very fast and have a coach from Sweden, Staffan Olsson, who played in the Swedish National team for many years. He knows us.
We will go through to the next stage anyway, from this Group stage, to the Middle round as it's called.
The Middle round consists of 2 groups, with 6 teams in each. In Sweden's group we will face both Norway and Denmark. We have to be first or second in that group to reach the semi final.
24 teams play the Euro Championship this time.

I quite like handball, keep being tempted when I’m over in Germany but I’ve no idea in standard over there. Don’t wanna pay over the odds….

Sweden won against The Netherlands in the end by 29-28.🥵 A thriller. Germany is still a good handball nation, even though it was decades ago they were one of the best in the world. Now playing this tournament at home anything can happen. Glad to see them go through. The papers there say they play for the medals. France impressed me the most so far, and the game I've just seen.

Saw France beat Germany by 33-30 on Tuesday evening. Fast game. Could have been the final.
Sweden face Slovenia later today, Wednesday. The first game of the Middle round. Denmark, Portugal, Norway thereafter.
I've never seen England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Northern Irland play.

Norway lost vs Portugal and might go out of this tournament too. What is happening?
Just saw The Netherlands against Denmark. A very even first half, but Denmark played even faster than the fast Netherlands. Denmark won by 39-27.
Hmm. Denmark impressed many of us.
Coming up within an hour is Slovenia versus Sweden.

The Germans are making a big thing of this handball tournament...and it is a big sport in Germany anyway. Not as big as basketball but popular nevertheless. They've converted a footie stadium to hold some of the games so they can pack more paying guests in.

Sweden won comfortably against Slovenia, 28-22. Good defending from the Swedes, good counter attacks. The better team over all.
We'll meet Denmark next, on Friday. They are the world champions so it will be tough.

You could well be right, Musik, but being in Munich I see more publicity for FCB's basketball setup than I do for any handball team. And the German men won the world championship for the first time ever last year which got a lot of media attention.

Within two hours Hungary-Austria. I haven't seen any of these two teams yet. 📺
The blonde female and former handball player Johanna Ahlm said Hungary have been really sensationally good. My brother sent me a text message saying they have been the nastiest team of them all. They have won all games they've played I think.
France vs Croatia at 6 pm isn't on any channel I have here, but the evening game is, Germany the hosts against Iceland. 📺

When Germany was divided and had two handball teams, West Germany and DDR, I remember the latter to be a very rough team.

Sweden 🇸🇪 lost vs Denmark this evening by 29-28. The referee standard was doubtful the last minutes of the game.
Next Swedish game is on Sunday against Portugal.

Later this Sunday I'll watch Sweden vs Portugal. Denmark will meet Norway in the late evening match.

Earlier today Slovenia beat The Netherlands.
Now it's Sweden-Portugal. First half, 5-3 atm. It's the third game in the second group stage called the Middle Round or the Head Round. Today they even said it's the quarter final.
Denmark-Norway tonight.

Norway "won" the second half, but it didn't matter Denmark won the game.
So now both Denmark and Sweden went to the semi finals next week. Sweden will probably meet France. And Denmark will meet Germany, Austria or Hungary, that's what they said in the studio.

I can’t understand how this game hasn’t taken off in the U.K. It’s good end to end stuff. Perhaps a bit too easy to score? Us brits prefer a low scoring war of attrition

Us brits prefer a low scoring war of attrition More strategies and tactics than in most sports. And it's actually impossible to score if you're not good enough and meet great defenders.
