One rare game what final had been plaid in Uppsala in studenternas ip behind closed Doors was bandy
Edsbyns IF 5 1 Villa Lidköping BK

I watched it, not so as whit people but to me its tv game as all sports, i enjoyed it. Not traditionsl final Between Sandviken vs Hammarby

I am watching WC in handball from Egypt. Boring whit out fans, same time if 12-14 teams are from EU why in this pandemic days tournament could not be host in some EU country? France, Spain, Germany, Norge what so ever can organise own competition in sport why not some super tournament? It would be much safer for all.

Suprised that sweden reached semies, smashed Qatar 35 25. Good game trough tournament winning first group, winning second group even in last seconds lose points when Belarus and Slovenia get draw. Then won doping team i mean Russian Handball Federation, they need use that name.
Now semies against France. I think it will be though game, sweden has chance if France play bad, and all our goaly saves, defenders do magic and all balls goes in.

Otje3swmie Denmark VS Spain.
I wish see nordic derby in a final, but I think it will be souther derby. 3th place don't matter

Can't believe Sweden won France and is in a final. Whit young, injured team and corona victims we did it. It's like 90s hay day when Bengan Boys was unstoppable when Bengt "Bengan" Johansson lead Staffan Olsson, Mats Olsson, Patrik Liljestrand, Axel Sjöblad, Erik Hajas to the victory. Seems norvegian Glenn Solberg will do same, like I said this young team is heroes.

Not happy Villa Lidköping 5-4 in OT win bandy final against AIK. It's horrible to me, such chance because AIK last time won bandy title in 1933. Such a chance where our government stoll from aik. It should be whit fans if Black army would sing, aik would won runners up get 3 goals back, could win in 89 min but...
Only Stockholm team what is good in bandy is Hammarby. Djurgården won before Wwii.

Yes I agree, horible game, I was hoping Gnagare takes it but well, maybe after 20 years

2022 Handballs man EC in Hungary and Slovakia
Sweden did well in group even Cz showed good attacks and fight against Spain , we get 27-27 against them, it was enough to go out of group. same time good new debut team Lithuania was there, I like see new teams
next round, no doubts Spain will win a group, but Norway manage win game against Spain
Sweden win over Russia, Poland, easily, Germany was tighter opponent but yesterday derby against Norway
2 min before game we had minus 2 , he fought and get 2 goals and 14 second before end we got penalty and Valter Chrintz realize it. Its coold. Now we need wait what we get hmmm France or Denmark

btw I wish there be quarter finals not direct semies... I think system should change, more chances for smaller teams and fans be happier.

Wow it was scandinavian night.
Semies
France 33 - 34 Sveden.
Spain 29-25 Denmark

3th
France 32-35 OT Danmark

Final
Swedish 27-26 Spain.

What a epic game, Andreas Palicka a goalkeeper made super saves in whole tournament, he gave us gold, what an epic game, Niclas Ekberg when clock was 59:59 send penalty in a net, and gave us gold. Simmilar again group game whit Norge. This is awesome against the odds, against all, but then again last WC we lose again Denmark, semies we to k over France or Spain, I don't remember, but now it was a epic won... Huh now we can sleep whit it a while

Russian teams in euroleague are replaced whit Valencia and Partizan Beograd.
Not happy whit one team either....

Volleyball WC from Russia was stripped away and moved to Poland and Slovenia, Russia was banned.
No surprises here maybe Ukraine went to the quarters. Poland 1-3 Italy and final was plaid in Katowize in Poland, good crazy atmosphere, I cached some games btw.

EC in Basket was funny:
In Tbilisi souther mentality did the talking between Georgia and Turky .... some referee mistakes
more: https://basketnews.com/news-177716-fiba-officially-acknowledges-refereeing-errors-in-eurobasket.html

Also Germany vs Greece,seems Greek fans inuslted German player he was send out of arena, due his action
https://scoresomemore.live/basketball/dbb-star-dennis-schroder-insulted-and-threatened-by-greece-fans/6426/

Otherwise I saw they should make schedule longer; Tbilisi, Köln, Praga, Milan and final stage in Berlin
In Group stage only what is is odd, that Israel did not go out of group and Finland, Poland and Czehs did ...

Play offs:
Well Spain did strugle aganst Lithuania in OT, but then again Lit now is not lit in 90's .... cant compare that team and besides Spain, well well, to me not suprise

Finland 84.86 Croatia, I know i Finland all sports are rising , football to, but this is big suprise..-..

In quarters Spain struggled aganst Finland but in end won 100-90.
Poland eliminated tittle holder 90-87 Slovenia and its surprise, Luka Dončić what is one of bets players in the world atm go home emthy.

Semies:
Germany-Spain
France-Poland

Germany has show some good touraments but Poland, its not a basketball historic semis. will be interesting.

Latvia first time ever will play in WC. Regular EC team, missed latest though, but they never has reached WC.
In Heraclion located in Creta they destroyed Greece 80 to 60. No Panantinsikos and Olympiacos players, so Greece was whit out best players, latvia to but less.
If Game be plaid in Athens or Thessaloniki I believe Greece would win.
Turkey won over Belgium and Latvia needet see Belgium loose. Serbian won over UK in UK. Latvia needed see Serbia loose.
But now it dont matter
Latvia Vs UK
Next year
Latvia Vs Greece
Turkey Vs Latvia

But it dont matter.

So Handballs WC is rolling in full in Sweden and Poland. I have seen all 20:00 games on TV , pretty good event, group stage was as it expected no suprises, main qualifications group stage maybe not surprise but Egypt was higher in ranks as Croatia

I think they should change rules not 1/4 as 2 from six in group goes but 4 and 1/8 finals or 3 tth place make play in because 2 from six, many big teams lose chances to qualify

1/4
France vs Germany
Bundesliga is big but German national team has somehow been smaller since 90's but France wants revenge after last WC bad game, but I believe Germany will make some stand and win

Sweden - Egypt
N. Africans are good at handball, but I saw Egypt vs Denmark game, if Sweden crush them early whit 6 goal advantage it will be easy win.

Norway vs Spain
Good duel, Spain is favorite but I believe Norway almost at home will win

Denmark vs Hungary
I am surprised Hungary is here they handball somehow went down when major football bum reborn whit their teams in CL. Otherwise its OK, but Denmark will take this.

Sweden did walk ove rnot easy but they did over Egypt but in semies France was to big.
Spain did walk over whit only one point over Norway, Denmark 33-24 Hungary

Semies France was to good for us, but the again Denmark won Spain whit 3 goals-

3th place Sweden 36 - 39 Spain
Final Denmark 34-29 France,
Seems Denmark won 3 latest WC in a row, good I better see northerners win as southerners.

Denver Nuggets beat Miami Heat in NBA finals Game 5 for team’s first title. Congrats to Denver, I like new champions specially in NBA
All thought it will be Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings maybe – Phoenix Suns or Golden State Warriors, but it was Denver. Even good teams as Dallas Stars, Los Angelos Lakers what even not enter in play offs. Nuggets did do well in regular season, but play off is other kind of kin.
I remember few years ago Toronto Raptors did do same, one tittle, I hope it will continue, hehehhe, I hope Washington Wizards do it next year.

EuroCup champs Gran Canaria have made the official announcement that they will not be participating in the upcoming EuroLeague season due to financial reasons.
https://basketnews.com/news-190649-gran-canaria-wont-play-in-the-euroleague.html

Well not best place, islands in Greece, Spain, Italy and France are not best place for travel to games hehehe, imagine Shetland islands would have Scottish cup winners Farao has often plain delies in sporting events.

Well, how about nba ?

Well, how about nba ?

NBA is well 82 games per season, plus play offs so 100 games or more. Regular season is boring, but the its totally different in play offs.
NBA is organisation what makes money, you get money from basketball.
I prfefer watch Euroleage. EC, WC, OG, even French, Italian, Spanish and best of Greece, Israel, Serbia.
In USA its more individual statistics, slams and so on. Europe thinking, tactics and so on. But same time south European basketball became mor einteresting when they change attack time when you need shoot on basket from 30 seconds to 24. It was in 90's I think.-
After corona only best players get big deals but not so much . In Europe only football can earn money, Basket, handball, volley, hockey no way. In USA Basket, American football, basball, hoceey even soccer gets money, its based on business, players earns. In Europe no, based on history and traditions. In Spain basketball teams needs take money from football section to survive a season. Sevilla did it.
Only country where you could get rich from sport was Russia, they need pay 4 times more to players move to that place, and now its gone and Russian sport wont come up again even after war, not in next 10 years.

Same time in Greece
In Greece, the basketball finals are underway, following a format where teams compete in a best-of-five series. During the fourth final, hosted by Panathinaikos, the match was abruptly halted when Panathinaikos fans engaged in unruly behavior, including throwing bottles, pyro, and various objects towards the Olympiakos bench.

At the time of the interruption, Olympiakos held a commanding 63-35 lead. The match remained suspended for over an hour, during which the home supporters continued to display disruptive conduct, damaging seats within the sports facility.

Ultimately, Olympiakos was declared the winner by official decision, securing a 3-1 lead in the series and reclaiming the title of Greek champions.

Basketball world cup in Taiwan, Japan and Indonesia, I have watching some games. Biggest suprise ever is that Latvia send home potential and maybe strongest, or second strongest European team France home in group stage. Their medal thing is over. They also won Spain. Latvia can go to medal tournament, if they do send home Brazil, but not European teams play weird basketball. For prayers it's hard to adapt and understand it.

What a BC world cup, damn amazing. NBA stars whit out medals 2 years in a row.
Congrats to Germany they drove over all teams whit no loose and won 1th gold in WC and 1th gold since 1993 when they won Eurobasket.
In semies Germany won over USA whit 113 to 111
Close game but still.
Good tournament good games Latvia in debut send home France, and Spain. Latvia in last second did triple trow they did not score, they could send home Germany.
Anyway

Italy did walk long, Italian basketball, 5 years ago they hardly win now they are 7th , its super good for them
¨
5th place game
Latvia 98-63 Lithuanian. Baltic derby and maybe most important victory for Latvia over Lithuania

3th place
USA 118 - 127 Ot Canada
N American derby and no Canadians known how play not only hockey but other sports

1th Place
Germany 83-77 Serbia
Serbians are lucky often in end, due politics I dont like, sad they went so far, good Germany won, underdogs.

Well maybe NBA should start watch European basketball and stop underestimate us hahhaha

2024 bandy WC is canceled. Men and women, because there are no country what wants organize it. USA and Kazakstan wanted do it but drop out
Article says that International bandy federation must give and announce organizes few years ahead that they be able prefer them selves.

Sad, I like to watch it, I also do watch Swedish play offs and final, damn I miss days when final was hold in Uppsala in Studenternas IP. WC is good , since plaid in january or february, often oustide,

Since Russia is banned, Sweden, Finland are best teams, Kazakstan follows, Norway to rest teams are from other kind sand box.

European handball championships are in Germany. Opening game
France 39-29 N. Macedonia and Germany Germany 27-17 Suisse was plaid in Merkur Spiel-Arena, Düsseldorf where Fortuna Düsseldorf plays there home games (football team)
53000 spectators watched game and I believe its new hanball recorrd.

One favorite Spain went home in group stage draw against Austria was key why they did not went , so surprise. France still hangs and its only opponent what can stop Denmark ro Sweden this team.
