EHF 2020 Women - Life intricacies and disrupted schedules

Image
Good morning handball fans. I am so sorry for being absent for a while. The defeat away to Bucharest by USAM did not help either. London - Lisboa - Trondheim would have been a nice roadtrip under normal circumstances. Today is a painful experience within the in-sanity of life intricacies and disrupted schedules Grief in hearing of so many recent losses due to cancer or COVID Sadness in being far from those I know or I do not know who suffer from COVID and other illnesses/diseases Frustration in seeing Frederiskhavn and Norway pulling out from the tournament organization Acknowledgement in declinature for my online and on-site media applications  Feeling of a bizarre ruling where Arsenal players can travel to Molde but a normal handball fan cannot travel to Norway for handball. It's difficult to have prepared months ahead for the event and on its opening day there you have it unable to enjoy it later today and for the next fortnight or so. I feel a bit like a player who would have b

  PRESOV - USAM DAY ONE Group stage EHF European Handball League Men Live reporting of match from London Source is EHF TV   Match report 20 October 2020            17:45 and 19:45 hours GMT 4 matches with nothing to expect then 4 other matches including USAM … The Portuguese wave continues as Sporting wins 27 to 25 away to Dinamo Bucharest in the early session Yann et seulement 12 joueurs contre l’équipe de coach GOLUZA JE SUIS PRET SAUF QUE JE NE SUIS PAS LA !!! 1 st half A tad porous defence and on 45s conceding the first goal Mika recovered well a failed shot and equalised Wing play with Presov save but Rabek scores a nice one 2-1 (2.50) Will the 4am departure tell? Vid saves from embarrassment with the 2-2 goal Lovely lob by Vid to get the equalising goal (5.45, 3-3) Remi should have saved this shot. I am worried. He does not look ok to me. But what do I know? Again, a sway of bad passes. What is going on? Tobie missed an easy chance on the co

Brest pin point after unusual moment ; Nantes curtailed by a difficult second half

  EHF CL is back but for Szeged – PSG due to the late postponement           Brest – Vardar 17.45 Ristovski great save keeps the score-line at 5-5 after 14 mins It’s 10-7 on 22 mins Cupic and Dibirov are in the Vardar team What a save on counter on 23 mins by M Brest keeper Wing play by Brest appears very effective However, Vujin perforates the Brest defence making 11-8 just past 24 mins Superb old-fashioned shoot making 11-9 with just over 4 mins left but they should have been penalised for passive play Great combination of passes by Brest to avoid passive play but the post saves Ristovski Instead of making the most of it Vardar concedes inexplicably a counter-attack 12-9 (28’15) HT 12-10 Skube extends lead to 13-10 (31’) and Selvamsiuk enjoys scoring number 14 (32’) Vailupau 55 always gets his wing play do the talking 15-11 (34’) A penalty from Cupic makes it 15-13 (36’) A quick break in unorthodox manner and it is a one goal match 15-14 (38’) Complete

DELO - CSM Bucharest on an easy ride against Metz

 CSM Bucharest  31 (17) vs Metz 26 (10) We are relieved : Grubisic ankle sprain was minimal in the end. Leadership from Neagu as usual but Pintea was clearly everywhere, Very influential, hence her smiley face Our DELO is back but it is a bit of a struggle with the new EHF TV ergonomy. We got there in the end thankfully. Happy days. Missed the first 20 mins as I was cooking on this sunny September afternoon in greater London. Last sight of summery conditions. With 15 minutes left on the clock Metz had gone through three goals without a response, prompting a potential comeback as the scoreline read 23-18. But it would have been a travesty. CSM dominance was fairly evident. Grubisic shouts at her valiant defence.  Saves a penalty but got done by the rebound as her defence  Hardly any saves by the two French keepers, none potentially from Mrs Halter but a couple from courageous Mrs Sako. Avoiding further embarrassment for her team. Great goal by the very kind and softly mannered n

La technologie en support.  PAUC vs CHAMBERY en huis-clos et sous un format social inattendu.  Avec l'interruption technique quand le score fut 5-4, j'ai perdu le fil et mon rapport de match sans valeur aucune.  IOSU brille et retrouve le Val de l’Arc.  Au final 30-29 pour les Aixois. Le plus génial de tout le match : voir l'illustre dirigeant du PAUC converti en vigile d'un jour Phil Amate à chaque attaque du c ô t é gauche! Le retour du handball dans les gymnases et sur les écrans s’accélère pour les professionnels et les amateurs. Et c'est bien chouette. Il y a les ligues nationales / intra-nations / européennes, compétitions européennes / mondiales / olympiques.  Il est difficile à imaginer d’arriver à tout suivre surtout depuis un pays qui ignore le meilleur des sports.  Tant de travail. La préparation de l’USAM au Ventoux a-t-elle déstabilisé l’équipe avant la collection de matchs de préparation  avant le retour à la compétition. Cela procure des inq
