[fmj]

Does these games have tv-coverage?

[mester]

Maybe in Asia, but in Europe I think no

[mikh]

Can someone tell me which Asian channels could broadcast it? I can try to find a Sopcast stream.

[jarmusch]

Gro Hammerseng and Anette Hovind Johansen are not playing in this tournament (because of injuries). Kristine Lunde is also out, so it will be fun to see if Gøril Snorroeggen is up for this...

China - Korea 25 - 26 (12-10)

[Horia]

WOW Seems like China will be a great contender, Tadici said that after the draw, he didn't give Poland the chance above the chinese team.

[mester]

NOR-CHIN 24-25(9-11)

[Horia]

They are preparing for Beijing it seems...

[martinmk]

NOR-CHIN 24-25(9-11)

Wow what a surprising. They must have invested much money in handball.

[Horia]

They invested in every sport because they want to be the first in the medal table in the OG. But not the investements are important, they have a great selection area, from where to pick players. They just need to care a bit about the sport. They didn't cared til now about handball, now they care and they'll have results.

[track82]

I thought asian handball is all about Korea, the results proved i'm wrong...
ok they played on homefield, but beating Norway, and Spain is a something.
Anyway at least the Group D will be exciting, and also Hungary should care about the Chinese team in the main round...

[kleber]

China will not be olympic champions,yes they can beat a top team but not three times in a row.....on the other hand is Norway going to repeat 2003 and 2005 again!?

[fmj]

It's important to note that Norway would have beaten China with a solid margin if it had been an important match.

Marit Breivik played with two totally different set-ups, one very young and inexperienced set-up and one more experienced set-up. This tournament is all about trying out new things and testing players, so i don't think we should put so much into these results.

Set-up 1: Camilla Herrem, Tine Stange, Gøril Snorroeggen, Marit Malm Frafjord, Tonje Nøstvold and Vigdis Hårsaker

Set-up 2: Kari Mette Johansen, Marianne Rokne, Katja Nyberg, Karoline Dyhre Breivang, Linn Kristin Riegelhuth and Isabel Blanco

I addition to all this, the play in front of the goal wasen't good at all, a lot of missed chances.

[Horia]

If every team would score at any time they have a chance we probably would have only equal results. Any game is based on mistakes.

You said you had 2 different set-ups, blabla, but what do you know about China?? I'll tell you, nothing They could have played with their second team at this tournament.
Anyway, I'm sure that they didn't played with the first 7, all the coaches want to see all their players to work.

China will not be olympic champions,yes they can beat a top team but not three times in a row...

That's now, who knows how they'll prepare for next year. And, don't be mad at me because I didn't know that China can beat, the best team in Europe at this hour.

[Kelon]

Heh...
Refer to results of China N.T they could be the biggest surprise in France.

After draw in Poland , peoples connected with N.T were happy , every one thoughts that we are in second round.. What a ugly surprise for them:)

[karel]

Yes, it won't be walk over for Poland, this game against China , Romania should also take China serious . But we have to remember, that teams from Asia play much better at home. And WC is taking place in France.

Romania did take China serious, Tadici said right after the draw, that the most powerful opponent is China, not Poland. Well, I hope now that we have the power to stop them.

[Monter_77]

Somebody know result of Korea-Spain match??

Somebody know result of Korea-Spain match??

Espagne - Corée 26 - 30

They just need to care a bit about the sport. They didn't cared til now about handball, now they care and they'll have results.

Any sport they are dangerous in handball, fencing etc. mainly because
a) Their style is very unorthodox
b) They don't expose themselves very much to the internaional scene making them an unknown quanitity with the element of surprise in their hand

But clearly comps like this reduce b) but still....
