[Sports] In your face germans!

Yes, and Denmark won bronze. Very good. We were rooting for you Sweden, and luckily you pulled thru.

What a paradox that we beat you on your way to the finals, and Iceland - our opponent in the bronze match - beat Germany on their way. Yet, we weren't in the finals? :p

Seriously, Handball is a great game; a full contact sport, it combines basketball, rugby and soccer. Once you've been in or watched a top level handball game basketball is nothing.

Of course, handball being a Danish game, it has to be great! ;)

Yep. A shame we chose to play our worst match in that semifinal. I bet we'll win the next tournament - the team is barely dry behind their ears yet and already progressed this far :-)

It was a very interesting and exiting game. However, we shouldn't be too hard on the Germans as we only won due to the Macedonian referees. Germany was leading the game 26-25 with eleven seconds left of the game. Germany had two players in the penalty box. Seven versus five we managed to score 26-26. However, with lightning reflexes the germans attacked immidiately and scored in an open Swedish goal! 27-26... or NO! The referees invalidized the goal. The referees hadn't "started" the game, or so they claimed. Much controversy ensued.

The game went into overtime and Sweden beat Germany decisively. Mind you, the game shouldn't have gone into overtime in the first place had the referees not been drunk. Here is for Germany W00T W00T! You played a GREAT game. :)
 

Okay, sweden has won that final, but the german team was a total outsider who noone gave a snowball's chance in hell to win. We almost won, so the swedish fans and players should be ashamed. :)
