The Women's tournament is in December.


AND the Biathlon World Cup is on Eurosport.

So that's a couple of my favourite Summer and Winter 'other' sport favourites sorted.

I gave up watching as it was constantly being interrupted by VAR.

Next we’ll be getting links to that ridiculous indoor bicycle football they play in Deutschland and probably Swanny’s living room.

Absolutely superb game to watch.

Swiss team very late replacements for USA (18 positive covid tests). Swiss arrive in Egypt, go straight to the arena and beat Austria 28-25. Swiss haven't even checked into their hotel yet.

Marvellous scenes.

Kidnapping this thread as there may be limited interest for a new one...

World Cup is ongoing, both semis tonight: Spain vs Croatia and France vs Sweden. Going to be thrilling.

Third biggest team sport in Europe, when are you going to join the party?

Urgh. Europeans are weird.

Europeans are not weird, Handball is a real viking sport which Denmark have just shown as they beat up the Spaniards in a very tough semifinal "en rigtig herre opgoer" - so Swansman will Sweden get to the final as well??

It is indeed a viking sport in a lot of senses... thought it was Croatia and not Denmark, shows how invested I am in this these days...

It will be a tough one. France are the favorites. The goalie battle will decide, I imagine.
