The Official Olympic Handball Thread

[Philzo-93]

I blooody love this sport! Fast moving, high goal-scoring event which is always a welcoming sight in my eyes.

Currently watching the women's GB game against Russia and it is such a great game to watch.

Would love to participate in this! Any clubs nearby at all?

Apparenlty Montenegro are the best at this and are looking for gold too. The women at least were unbelievable!

It was on in the pub on Saturday night and I have to agree. Why don't we play this game over here??

Just put it on and although we're getting gubbed some of our stoats are little crackers! Hedland who has just come on

So far it's been about the only sport that has been worth watching, everything else has been utter tripe.

Ive watched a few games, love it

 

[Mellotron]

Yup, one of the few sports I've watched where I've thought "I'd love to play this."

I seem to remember it being HUUUGE when I went over to Germany a few years back.

 

[Twizzle]

It's big everywhere. Not in Britain though, and the septics aren't bothered much either

 

[Simster]

Fabulous sport. I've got bronze medal men's tix.

 

[oddsonlaughter]

I was looking for a local club that do it as well, looks like it would be good fun

 

[Hugo Rune]

Got Handball tickets for Thurs, really pleased I get to see this sport live!

 

[Deanbha]

Really want to try this or volleyball. Maybe organise a NSC team??

Anyone watching the men's handball?

Iceland awarded a penalty 27-26 ahead with 14 seconds remaining, Hungary keeper saves it and they charge down the other end and score with two seconds left. So now extra time...

 

[Simster]

Wel, you're missing a great game. 30-30 AET, so two more 5 minute periods of extra time.

Indeed. Half of Iceland is watching this, apparently. 45 seconds left, one in it.

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Great game, will miss this when the Olympics are over.

Great game, will miss this when the Olympics are over.

I do hope it takes off here.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I have FOOLISHLY given away my men's bronze medal handball ticket to my mother and step father and am instead going to the women's basketball bronze match at the O2.

Foolish because handball is a quite clearly a MUCH better sport than basketball.
