Re: Romanian League 2020/2021
Take into account that league position is not the only factor for qualifying to the CL. EHF wisdom will count more than anything :) Continuity in PUBLIC funding towards any of the teams will also count. Both Valcea and Bucharest had problems late last year. BM looks ok for now, but depending on publ...

Re: 2019/20 EHF-Cup
2000 EUR for attempted bribery. Cheapo! That's a median 1-month salary in a decent European league. Yes, the design of "the home of handball" is absolutely crap. They replaced mixed-up information (but information nevertheless), with those ridiculous thumbnails and super large fonts, makin...

Re: Doping in women's handball
Remains to be seen if WADA will be satisfied with the sanctions or they will appeal.If they will appeal, I don't think anything good will come for the players. My intuition is that the Romanian NADA acted such that WADA is satisfied. Like I said earlier, the punishments look very severe for the con...

Weren't there 2 players who were not involved in the whole thing, Sorina Tarca being one of them? I might not remember well, since it's been a while.

Here's a question that is bugging me for a while: since China withdrew from the OQT only because of the covid-19 situation, shouldn't they be reinstated in their respective tournament and Kazakhstan return to the one in Podgorica?

Baia Mare suspended the contracts of all players and staff untill further notice, so everybody will be receiving help from the state (75% of the average brutto salary, which brings it around 4000 lei, about 800€) L.E.

If they register 21 players, then you're right. You're also right about the second thing. Romania played a very important rugby in match in Georgia 3 weeks ago, but the squad was hit by flu during a prep stage in Turkey, so they discussed the cancellation of the match. The difference was that they h...

Did Valcea ask? And in any case, Krim would have to agree. Also, there's not too many dates in the calendar for the match. It has to be finished before the QF begin. Valcea played admirably and got the result they needed, despite the best efforts of the two refs in the final 5 minutes of the match. ...

So, today's the day! If Tunisia wins, they put Egypt as well as both Algeria and Angola in the OQTs and Brazil is out.
If Egypt wins, then Brazil goes to OQT1.
