NORWAY / AUSTRIA / SWEDEN EHF 2020 Au revoir Trondheim, end of Preliminary, Main Round Pronostics
FRANCE – BOSNIA
FIRST HALF
Bosnia leading 2-1 after two minutes.
I will explain my day later.
It is even 3-1 to Bosnia on 3 mins
Definitely back to the 80s. But not geopolitically
obviously. Mind you, maybe?
Because no one fears, the game is very predictable.
So frustrating. Whatever happens go to bed early!
PERCEE de PRCE, he scores THREE goals to make it 4-1
within 5 (five) minutes.
Are you set for a terrible ZERO POINTÉ?
C’est la
Bérézina. Une vraie crise. Une grosse fracture.
Le bleu
de chauffe du staff bosniaque, ironie costumière et non coutumière ?
Croire
en un rebond avec tir croisé de Romain?
Mais
vite un autre but-gruyère.
VALO joue.
ENFIN!
Mais Buric
n’entend point aider la France. Un MIKA d’orgueil 5-5 (11’)
GRAHOVAC
lui cire le banc et se désaltère. Rien ne sourit. C’est la catastrophe. Mais c’est
aussi, pour les supporters, le problème des enfants trop gâtés. Trop gâtés par
des performances surhumaines pendant tant d’années et en restant les pieds sur la
terre amicale.
Perdre
une minute de retransmission à cause d’un bug noir sur EHF TV.
Jolly goal: 11th goal for France. VALOU (e.g.
Valentin Porte) strikes again: it is now 11-10 on 22 minutes.
WESLEY PARDIN ‘ON’
Un autre
de VALOU pour de l’air.
Mathieu
GREBILLE réalise un subtil lob pour le 13-10 (25’) et Malou sort son drapeau de
la Réunion.
Mais l’écart
fond comme neige au soleil perdu. C’est désormais 14-12 (27’30).
Si étourdi
au moment du transfert anxieux entre bus et train que je croyais que
Prandi had brought the scoreline to 15-13 with a goal actually just over the
bar….off course! Of course no goal, I got coined as well. It is still 14-13 to France.
On voit Fabrice et les AMATE à la mi-temps. Chouette!
We were so used to that pride and team spirit perspective.
Why am I losing the connection? Bloody signal.
SECOND HALF
Les supporters
comme les 2 Cathy font la mauvaise mine. La deuxième mi-temps et Miss Mauger se
lève pour Adri’s goal as it now reads 15-13 on 32 minutes.
Wesley
continue son petit chemin et Dika mitraille 16-13 on 33 minutes.
Rien ne
passe! Des deux côtés. Enfin presque car nous revenons à 16-14 (34’30).
Je m’arrête
sur le côté pour n’y aller (ce funeste lieu) ni recevoir la pluie torrentielle
si désagréable.
Evelyne
happy, c’est vraiment mieux. Avec son maillot de Valou quand but no. 17 entra.
Les amis
ont enfin des motifs d’avoir le sourire. C’est à ce moment que l’arbitre offre un
deux minutes à Mr Fabregas.
La joie
est donc de courte durée.
But de
gardien malgré une extension spectaculaire de Melvin.
D’où une
avance de seulement par deux buts 19-17 (39’)
Malou, Evelyne et Catherine Pautrat se rebellent tous
ravis du GOAL no.20
Ref says attack inside when clearly Grebille was not!
To his justified disgust.
Superb counter with Porte’s lob a tad cheeky 21-18 (42’)
C’est
maintenant le no…22 établissant un
score de 22-19 (43’30)
Gerard back
in goal. Not sure why. Pardin fatiguait dans l’intensité, peut-être ?
Un
sursaut de sérieux et de logique sportive et l’on retrouve le champagne
handball avec Valou’s trickery.
Mieux vaut tard que jamais.
Le drapeau bosniaque flotte devant les MAUGER.
Fabrice d’un visage triste sur un ralenti. Le score
est 24-19 (46’)
Mr
Gerard sort mal et 20-14 mais les minutes filent et Buric reprend confiance et
la France refait des erreurs.
VALOU a mis des buts dans tous les angles.
La France a désormais 5 buts d’avance 25-20 (50’)
Et la défense en zone! Finalement penalty donne. Ouf
51’45 26-21
The Bosnia player should get two mins for play acting
and falling over
Ce n’est pas gagen par la foi des matchs.
Lesb filles exultent sur un petit bijou de VALOU
Maintenant c’est plus 6 with 6 minutes left on the
clock
Then Gerard gets his goal with empty net mayhem.
Deux de suite actually. The second one was hardest and
more predictable. Now we see why Wesley is not playing. Very interesting game
where France got the 2nd half almost perfect.
Poland Sweden + Portugal Norway
FIRST HALF
Very yellow submarine in Gothenburg as Poland 2 –
Sweden 2 on 4 minutes
Quiet affair between Portugal and Norway. Not many
goals.
Just as I was looking for clothes to tidy it is now
3-2 on 7 minutes for Norway with imperious
Bergerud.
Portugal not as determined and organised and already
losing by 4 and the number of suspensions rising quickly (10-6 on 16 minutes)
A MOJITO please, not a Moryto and it is suddenly very
quiet in Sweden as Poland leads 10-7 on 19 minutes, but never die Swede are
back within one. Now Sweden are already leading by one.
Quintana mistake, very costly as Norway now ahead by 4
goals.
Tiny hopes and Salina makes it a 1-goal affair. So
bizarre. Roughly five minutes left.
Palicka on song and Sweden brushing aside Poland.
Szmal is on POLSKA coaching staff !
Penalty miss by Poland so it is still 12-1dismi1 for
Sweden (27’)
O'SULLIVAN was on the highway making it 15-13 (29’)
No rot with ROD as Norway leading 16-14 in the
interval whereas Sweden understood to be one in front due to a 7-meter throw 14-13
SECOND HALF
Double quickfire save but only the first one will be
considered.
Young Norwegian keeper saves a poor PORTELA penalty.
But a bit dismissive and they are NOT paying for it. Norway
now cruising 20-15 (34’)
That’s it the game is finished 22-15 on 37 minutes.
The Sweden Poland is more nail-baiting.
But that game is getting untidy.
Gomez is not better on Quintana
Down to 3-goal advantage ONLY for Norway. WHEREAS
Sweden rushes to a 5-goal lead 26-21 with twelve minutes left.
Both Nordic teams now on a winning position. Both hosts
are eventually leading by 4 goals around the min 50 mark.
A deafening noise for Norway’s 30 30-25 (54’30)
Nilsson consolidates the Swedish lead and Bergerud
keeps Portugal at bay.
Too greedy Portugal concedes a ball for a 7-goal deficit.
Sweden more professional and winning 28-26 in THE
SCANDINAVIUM but it’s 34-28 for Norway.
Wednesday 15 January 2020
I saw Iceland vs Hungary match first half but missed
the second half where surprisingly Hungary won over Iceland, leading to Denmark’s
demise.
Watching a mouth-watering Russia vs Denmark but none of
the two teams would qualify so it is a deflated Malmo arena.
Twice the PC got a message error. A scary one. Thank
God. Today is not an important day and I am in a good mood. Unfortunately, tomorrow
Spain’s match in rich and expensive Vienna is at 15:00 so I cannot even have my
lunch break.
I cannot remember what I asked food wise; I think a combination
of meat and fish.
Russia fan on his own. In a sea of Danish fans.
Denmark after Euro win, Olympics gold years later then
Word Champion the motivation must have sizzled out. It is therefore no surprise
that Russia is leading 15-12 in the interval.
This 24-team Euro format created four types of teams
as the preliminary round finishes tonight after Russia vs Denmark
Minnows exceeding expectations
Portugal, Austria
Recognised nations with ups and lows
Sweden, Czech Republic, Iceland, Belarus
Consistent teams enjoying their handball
Norway, Croatia, Spain, Slovenia, Hungary
Disappointing giants lacking motivation and not using
their skills in the right way as if they did not want to turn up
France, Denmark, Germany
It looks like Denmark are catching up on Russia and 4
mins into the second half it is a 4-goal swing, Denmark 16 – Russia 15
After a 8-2 turnaround to Denmark’s advantage, a
costly Danish foul leads to a logical 2-minute. Adds to the Russian opportunity
to make the game (again) a close affair Denmark 20 Russia 19 (42‘30).
It is 21 all square now (44’).
When Russia play with that jersey you think that they
are Iceland. It is quite unsettling. I remember noticing this on my last day in
Berlin.
Big miss on the 7-meter penalty but empty net luck for
Russia levelling it 22-22 (47’15)
However Denmark have a revival as they now lead by 2 26-24 (51'30) and set to increase it to 4 as it now reads 29-25 (56').Casual save by Landin onto the post but thereafter empty net strategy leads to goal number 26 for Russia (58')
Ermakov is growing in confidence but has an average scoring efficiency. Advantage is cut to two 30-28 (59'30)
Follow-up by Zach who looked inside the area though as Denmark won 31-28
Young Russian player is surporised to be MoM today. That was funny.
