EHF 2022 Day 11 France display much more assured despite appalling refs

 Monday 24 January 2022

14h30

1A-2B

REPLACED BY

ICELAND CROATIA

Very interesting to follow and Iceland unlucky not to get a draw, Croatia worthy winners though. Nail-biting stuff.

17h

2A-1C

REPLACED BY

DENMARK NETHERLANDS

Boring as Denmark overly dominant so stopped just before the break

19h30

1B-2C

REPLACED BY

FRANCE MONTENEGRO

Still no Remi.

Near post Lenne goal 1-0 1’45

Vujovic missile response seconds later

Karabatic with a rebound

Empty goal steal for Yannis 3-1 3’

No wing mistake by Lasica

Simic saves and Vujovic again 3-3 4’

The work done in Munich in 2019 pays off.         

Mem responds to Vujovic 4-4 5’

Simic saves from Lagarde

Tournat well drawn goal 5-5 7’ after Cepic had given the lead

Nice steal by Dika as Nicolas Tournat got a severe 2-minute 6-5 8’

Lenne does not miss the counter 7-5 9’

Dog’s dinner of a 1-man advantage

Simic saved from Descat but Fab reacted 8-6 10’40

On the cross-bar despite the defence

Lenne got the ball from NK

Red card on Sevaljevic’s foul. Reckless and stupid

France not benefiting of the man’s advantage as Cepic scores and Simic saves

8-10 15’

Cavor scores 9-10 16’40

The crowd did not like the decision and Dika responded on the opposite corner

Simic saves and on the counter VG hardly touches the fingers of the other player after he had caught the ball

But the dive is too much and shame on THAT player who acted like a stupid football player and coined the refs and Gerard gets a red card as a result.

That’s why Remi and Wesley should have played.

Brilliant Wesley to deny that very player ie VUJOVIC who then scored seconds later.

11-11 21’30

Wesley saves and Lagarde missed the line play and turnover from France

Karl and Fab are fab.

Stop being petty when you get your second red card decision wrong. And then they do not give 2-minute on a clear foul on Minne

Melvin used the block on the shot near post 12-11 24’30

NK got his shot saved

Melvin finds the other side this time with support from NK 13-11 25’45

Another crossbar for Bozovic.

Now we are hearing the French fans

But the attacks from France are looking a tad too predictable but Minne gets his first one 14-11 27’

Montenegro using the illegal 7-6

Thank God passive play call and Wesley saw the low shot coming.

Technically NK could have had 2-minute if he made the shot after the whistle had gone.

Valou beat Simic.

No way it’s a dive. It’s a front of you. Terrible decision. Taking away our Fab

NK beats the buzzer and if I were him I would have taken it to the disgraceful anti France refs. Shame on you.  Even the non-biased fans/commentators are saying that the refs got the decisions completely wrong. 16-12

We saw Angelique and Mr Chaibi.

Grebille has his first goal on the wing 17-12 31’

Beautiful Kempa but he had his foot on the ground when he released the ball

Another mistake by the dubious refs.

NK got number 18

Lasica on his own in the middle of the defence 18-14 33’

Get up cheating ‘dirty’ Montenegro player.

Glad there was a turnover.

Dika was lucky 19-14 34’45

Vujovic moved his foot so the 7-meter should be retaken.

Shame on you refs.

Thank God Nicolas Tournat scores 20-15 36’

Minne steals the ball 21-15 25 seconds later

Tournat picks up the Simic save from Dika 22-16 37’

I am happy for Nicolas Tournat

Good Simovic goal 22-17 37’25

Two consecutive steals as Minne scores then Kounkoud

How come its not 2-min for Vujovic on Kounkoud. Terrible ref.

Time out Montenegro of course. 24-17 38’

Allez les Bleus

Steal by Lasica. 24-18 39’

Good catch by Grebille as the ball was very low and top corner one 25-18 40’

Benoit on the post and Pardin responded to Simic.

Minne got the better of Simic 26-18 41’

Great goal by Branko 26-19 seconds later

The game is not yet over. And Dika is right to pull the plug 27-19 42’

Why the ball back to Montenegro? and justice that Wesley saved easily

 A 7-meter border line joke and glad Wesley saved. Well done Wesley.

Superb line play Monar goal 29-19 45’

7-meter saved but Branko picked up the rebound 29-20 46’

Dika thunderous shot 30-20 47’

Well done Wesley. Wesley from that Norway match. And not that of an European fixture in November.

We can see our wine friends.

Kounkoud on the near post and Branko responds.

Kounkoud on the line 32-21 49’40

He had a foot on the line! How can you not see that?

Valou scores a basic goal against the incoming keeper 33-22 50’40

Nice one by Lasica 33-24

Superb Wesley again.

No way never an attacking foul by Melvin.

Empty net goal 35-24 55’55

We cannot hear the whistling anymore.

Where are the Montenegro fans? They heard me !

Simovic scores another lovely goal with just over 3 mins left.

Nice one from Branko 36-26 58’

How can you give that one? Seriously. He was well inside the line. No way.

Superb Wesley save.

36-27 win
