EHF 2020 - SPAIN winners retaining trophy


MR PAUL BRAY and BRUNO


And the Spanish flag, somebody stole after the semi-final in Poland when I dropped it on the floor for a few seconds having kept my camera in my hand instead. The one Victor Tomas had signed in Herning whilst dancing with the French fans.

 HELLISH Long tube journey and rain nightmare means I missed the first half. I missed the tournament because I was so scared about my professional future.



10-7

34’ minute

GONZALO, better than CORRALES

16-12

4-1 Within five minutes of the restart.

Canellas scores after 3 GOMEZ goals (1 penalty, 2 open goals)

DJUNVAK scores a superb number 14

GEDEON misses the killer ball from his own area

What a lovely assist and GONZALO saves from his head and upper body (40’ and 43’)

KARACIC scores then gets a 2-minute suspension (44’) and DJU scores as a fatty Bruno with a Spanish handball shirt celebrates with fury.

18-18 (48’45)

Low scoring affair because defense and goalkeeping duties. GONZALO made many saves but SEGO did not.

What a basic mistake by Croatia with ten minutes left.

Macedonian or Czech Refs ????

Another mistake by Stepancic (51’30). COSTLY. But attacking foul by Spain.

4-2 in 17 minutes. Stepancic redeemed himself (53’40)

DJU gets the penalty following Mandic’s poor defending whilst SEGO had saved.

The TV producer likes the WAG with the baby

ENTRERRIOS two minutes in the sin bin.  Four minutes left.

Basic error and CERVAR is fuming (56’45)

SEGO mistake then taking the initiative BROZOVIC as still GONZALO

JULEN is lucky

ASANIN not in the game and GOMEZ makes it 21-20

Hand wrist DJU when 25 seconds left.

Title retained. AH HA !!!!

GONZALO saves. BEST GOALKEEPER It’s over.

KARACIC error

Only 2nd team to retain euro, after Sweden who did the treble

Silver again for Croatia.

Tournament MVP DUVVNJAK

22-20 FINAL SCORE
WHAT A SHAME WE ARE STUCK IN THE UK
Interesting media zone completely deserted with euphoric Spanish players.
I wanted to send a message at their respective hosts, and IKER and I did it via WHATSAPP but to other delegation members. TWITTER is FULL OF MY SPANISH IDOLS

That's it the group stage draw for the EHF European League is at our fingertips with today's additional qualified teams in green Aguas Santas Milaneza - Belenenses  3 ahead on low scoring  Aguas should go through but not likely to be the most attractive match. A 12-goal win for Aguas Santas. Far too easy perhaps.   Kolstad - Irun  3 ahead on intermediate scoring Love Bidasoa Irun as I met so many players back in 2001 out of the blue of Erasmus days. They face a tough test to go through. Fingers crossed. I am often as excited as their fans. Expected to be tough and with 10 minutes to Bidasoa 24-22 trailing. 28-25 losing 12 seconds from the buzzer. Dramatic stuff.  Having won 30-27 the first le.g. Shoot out and various 7-meters missed and it finished 33-31 so Irun going through. Cool. FEJER Veszprem - Chambery 4 ahead and a win in Nimes were not a good combination to secure a group spot in the end as from a winning 16-15 Chambery lost 31-25 and it was 25-20 with ten minutes to

Germany 2019 - Day XV Semi day, Semi poetry

Image
Stellar harbour Stellar idea of what drives mad A sole soul let down as a lad No sight of British cover to be had Grey prospect of huge raid a tad  Derailed by inner forces. Too bad To get bogged down in a set. So sad That we lost sense of belief. Clad A new semi story. Eternal pad. Cold surroundings will get the nod. Berlin, 24 January 2019 2019 – 2019HJ110 [interrupted] We can feel a growing tension in the media center. Denmark are huge favourites as France did not play very well so far. Neither high scorers nor top keepers are statistically on the French side. Olympic champions against reigning world champions. A privilege in a stellar harbour.

Honest outcome on life with Arsenal's 40/60

Image
  ARSENAL's 40% v 60% and life is completely wiped out of fans All the important life stuff on a halt this weekend because of this life defining moment this Sunday at 4pm in North London. 40% v 60% I said to my Transport for London buddies after a never ending 6-week (already) ordeal on calamity Northern Line. Arsenal is taking over handball (Paris-USAM / Malaga – Bera Bera) and fun activities (Seven Sisters cliffs walk, Nemausus bullfighting festival) on this disruptive Sunday afternoon. Arsenal history previous occurrences and sense of football beauty/justice and my own desires make me Martin lift the trophy come 6 pm. What disruptive scenario? If this does NOT happen, Lance Armstrong of football prevails. The blame lies with the PGMOL and its corrupt and incompetent refs/linos, the two worlds rule ruling the Premier League as 115 charges without any points deduction nor being expelled from the league. I may not be the most pleasant person to be around and I will have to
