Everyone happy with Sweden win? Can't say they don't deserve it, the way they upset France. Final moment penalty made the difference in the end. 20 years since the last win apparently?
And Denmark, the favourite for gold, least took home a consolation medal.
It was great final with dramatic ending. Interesting that
France had timeout to make last attack, but it was complete failure. They left time to Sweden for response and earned 7m penalty on last second.
3rd place game was good too. Denmark simply dominated in overtime.
I guess you mean Spain here, France was in 3rd place playoff
I think Sweden deserved it, they had some covid and some injury problems but they coped with all of that and managed to get back some important players for the tournament finish. That last 7 meter goal from Sweden got me a win for ML and at the same time busted my Sweden under bet.
Sweden used to be a handball superpower, but they haven't won anything for a long time. I'm glad that they are returning to the paths of old glory. They absolutely deserved this triumph.
My biggest disappointment is Denmark. They were the main favorites of this tournament, Covid completely bypassed them, and in the end they almost ran out of medals.
As for my Croatia, again an old story about the change of generations and that the opportunity must be given to young players. And yes, eighth place is a success (and what we wanted to achieve before the tournament), judging by the coach’s statements
