Open your notebooks: First Swedish gold in 20 years after beating Spain 27-26 in the final. Get in!

Bahhh... fecking Denmark...

Half time in the World Cup final, Sweden - Denmark 13-13. Very tight. Second half starting now. UNTZ http://www.hesgoal.com/news/72549/Denmark_vs_Sweden.html

In team sports among the common public.. 1 . football 2. floorball 3. ice hockey 4. handball So not reallly "national sport". Only country where it is equal to football is Slovenia I think. Too bad for the sports that its not big in the UK, UK may be the dead empire of Europe but when it comes...

For the 0,23% of you who care, Sweden beat France in the semi final. Other game is onging but will be Spain or Denmark in the fiinal.

Fair enough, I believe you. As I said in a previous post, its pretty ****ing difficult to compare these sports.. Also fair enough. Not liking handball is very subjective, but at least acknowleding that it is (in Europe, and in the world if India didnt have a billion people) a very popular...

Yes I'm going to dispute that, just like in basketball you're not allowed to take more than three steps with the ball without bouncing it meaning its more out in the open than its not. Its interesting that you see handball as a "small minority sport" when it is one of the most popular sports in...

Ohhh its tractor-pulling time again? Might be interfering with my plans to watch one-of-endless-sports-no-one-gives-a-shit-about-outside-UK-and-former-colonies... guess I'll have to get my dose of British from being the first ever person to look for British porn on Pornhub instead..

If only... surprisingly easy victory for Sweden, was expecting a drama. Probably will be remembered by more Europeans than any cricket game though, as handball is a lot more popular in Europe than cricket is and probably ever will be.

By now I realise that you do the equation "fast & hard balls = skill". And if that is what skill is about, then you are correct - cricket is more skillful. It also means pretty much no footballer got any skill whatsoever. Messi & Maradona may be able to dribble a bunch of players, but the ball...

Of course I genuinely believe it is more skillful than cricket. Dribbling, passing, handling a ball in extremely high tempo and trying to score against six players who are Dan Burn tall and allowed to pretty much beat, push you, grab you and throw you on the floor. If you've ever been to watch...

Of course handball is more skillful sport than cricket. No doubt and not even close. Well I said team sports. Rugby union is probably true.. I bet you are in the top 5 of Gaelic football, giridone, caber toss, croquet and kidney pie eating as well... along with the other five nations who do it...

How many team sports are England reasonably good at? Hmm.. one. Required skill to win in that sport? Hmm... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtaWtAxHVsw No wonder you find it difficult shelling peas!

Sounds like my relation to cricket... "Just... why? Oh well, enjoy it."

Handball World Championship going on at the moment. Sweden vs Russia in the second round, winner of the game goes to the quarter final. Sweden up 10-4 at the moment, 15 minutes played. I know you all care A LOT

Seems like the Olympics boosted it's popularity in the UK a little bit as your national team has steadily grown stronger since. If I remember correctly I even think you recently qualified to take part in the qualification for next tournament. Doubt it will ever be a major sport over there but...

No-one watches it in the UK no, but it's one of the biggest sports in Europe. Far more popular than in example cricket (in Europe). Handball equivalent of Ali Is goal? Hmm. Maybe the first one in this video:

Try it... get a handball, a goal and tell six 200 centimetre guys to try and stop you - nearly any means are allowed - and you'll see how easy it is. Meanwhile, cricket...

So just one week to go before the tournament we've all been waiting for. Difficult to predict this year. Spain looks strong, but most of their key players are now 35+. France still aren't done swapping out their golden generation, but with good reason as Karabatic, Abalo and Guigou are still...
