2016 Women's EURO (SWE) – Qualification

[Mr. 007]

I didn't see it, but read it was a "nightmare" match from Norway. Well, it's a miracle they come to final every year tbh, and even manage to win it too...truly unbelievable really. But I have given up on given up on them, hehe. With such a horrific display, I guess the OG gold is guaranteed in box already...

But surely, Romania have stepped up now to fight for the gold after so many years almost there, so I guess it's finally their turn now

[eduardsson]

I love your comments, Hajas! Hungary won in Poland because Poland is a too good national team and was already qualified. Kudos!

ROMANIA DEFEAT THE WORLD CHAMPIONS

we should also remember that Holland smashed Spain, 31-21. it was the third biggest achievement of the night, after the amazing win of Hungary against Poland and the little surprise of Romania beating Norway.

Hahahaha, the comment of the year.
Nice one, dear Barry

Norway always play to win!
We didn't stand a chance today. Kristiansen, Mork, Loke, Grimsbo (for the most part) and most of the others too were just plain awful. I've rarely seen them play so collectively bad as they all did today. Shame on them! Depressing to watch.

However. I'm going to take my hat off for Romania after this game. While Norway had a really bad day, Romania made it seem even worse. Neagu and Ungureanu owned us. They made us look incredibly amateurish. Only good teams make World Champions look like a Girls 12 team.

Oh and the refs sucked - both ways.

Thank you for the fair opinion. It's a quality in accepting a clear defeat. Romania did work for it, did want it and obtained it in elegant manner I hope for a good game in Norway, for both teams.

Vyakhireva was amazing. The Russian team was not. And why select Postnova? She was just sitting on the bench.

Pay back time today when Norway win 27-17.

Wow what kind of refs did they use this time Romanians ? Yes, yes I know they rested players I said before the world championships that it would be a weakness for female handball if Norway won with their squad. Because they are fully beatable. One of the teams that understand that is Romania

let's be fair, both team with some reserves .
at home both wanted to win . the determination made the deference

Yeah, Romania playing with B team all the time, with some insertions of Bradeanu and Manea from the main squad.

[John]

I said before the world championships that it would be a weakness for female handball if Norway won with their squad. Because they are fully beatable.

I said the same thing. I would say that all team not fear but are confused when playing with Norway. Everyone has in their mind that Norway beats every opponent and than start to play convulsively and start making mistakes which Norway punishes severely.

two truly missing : Neagu and Ungureanu, and in parts Elisei -Ardean

maybe is better to try to be more objective. A win is a win...both ways

You're not right! Romania without Neagu is like Norway without Loke or Mork and Romania played most of the time with Zamfirescu, Perianu and so on, so the goal difference wouldn't had been so big.

Truly or not truly, Romania played without their "best 7" from WCh:
Ungureanu - Elisei, Nechita - Neagu, Buceschi, Geiger - Manea

On the other hand, I'm very surprised after HUN - POL 26-27. What happened?

[John]

What's the point of calling Lazovic if she is not ready and didn't get the green light from the doctors to play?
Why does he call Ujkic who recently recovered from ACL? Are Agovic and Malovic ready?

[Stefan_MNE]

Because they are preparing for the U20 WC.

[John]

As i understood Stefan, the cadets will play on U20 WCh. Or you know something that i don't?
