Is that supposed to be a joke?!? We love handball!!! Our NTs are a bit underperforming when it comes to big events, but our clubs have a very good reputation when it comes to European Club championship. Our best women club, Krim Electra are current women club champions ;) For the 2nd time in our short 12 years history :star: Male teams haven't gone all the way, but Pivovarna Laško have been in the top 4 or in the finals many times.

It was not a joke at all. :)

I'm glad to see you guys are interested in handball. It is a really entertaining sport. But we swedes only watch the national team, the clubs are not very good. It is also that the game is so exciting that you can't take it more than a few times every year.

    RIK was in Champions League final last year which means that they're the second best team in Europe so we do have good clubs but it's not general a big crowd in handball during the season.

    Sorry about that ... but I would lie if I said I wasn't happy, as Sweden loosing means also a spot for us in the Olympics :angel:

    They made it to the final in the cup-winners cup and that is a completely different thing. to win the cupwinners cup is not much better than winning the swedish league.

    It's really sad we miss the olympics, but the positive part of it is that this was hopefully the last time we saw Staffan Olsson in the team. And there is a lot of good sport this summer anyway.

    Yeah, hopefully they can come back even stronger in future tournaments and I'm talking about the young ones like Kim Anderson & Ahlm.
    The coach decided to quit so I'm intersted to see who is taking over the team.

    Ah great ... :sigh: Well, at least we trashed the Germans at Volleyball. Which is related imo :D

    Is Belgium playing? Otherwise I'll just have to root for Slovenia ;)
