Pavel Sukosyan - Russian goalkeeper (born 1962) who won 2 Olympic golds, 2 World Championships and European Championship among other medals with national team during 1990s until 2000. He played later in Snezhinsk until 2013, so left playing scene at 51. Still for a field player it's way more impres...

Hi everyone! Recently more interested in handball after very serious real life crisis since late 2014 causing lower activity on forums and lower interest too. Where I've been looking for some old stats(most are deleted and stupid me not to save it all every year ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ) I've found date o...

That's a big scandal! Why Germany? Not Hungary or Iceland. I may be happy not to see Australia which is totally amateur and see top 5 candidate instead, but it's changing rules during the game, one of the things I hate the most. Hopefully next time will be no guraranteed place for Australia & Oc...

Read that Martin Stranovsky is leaving Barcelona. Where do you think he may go? Meskov Brest could be perfect for him. Champions of Belarus contracted no less than 5 internationally known players during last season - 4 Belarussian internationals(Shylovich, Nikulenkau, D.Rutenka and Babichev) as well...

Following shocking turn of things with HSV getting extra chance for license next season their roster situation is very unclear and interesting. GK: J.Bitter M-H.Herrmann For club with such a difficulties it's normal to have junior as a reserver... LW: T.Jansen M.Flohr R.Schulze Left wing duo they ha...

It's strange that they allowed Podravka instead of one French team, don't you think?

I see FTC and Midtjylland favourites and Byasen and Leipzig competitive too.

Naturhouse La Rioja which is 2nd Spanish Champions League entrant for 2nd time builds interesting team too. Wings strengthened with ASOBAL liga record scorer Juanin Garcia(left) and 2-times world champion Albert Rocas(right), 2 of greatest young prospects - Pablo Cacheda for CB and Swedish U-21 WC ...

Kiel will not buy any left wing...will use player (Rune Dahmke) from their junior team... Really? They hadn't allowed him to play in 2013/14 season nearly at all in senior team. Then I can see Jicha on Kiel's left wing next season from time to time. 2 out of 3 Duvnjak, Palmarsson and Canellas(and l...

By the way since Sigurdsson is out, who is going to be new Kiel's left winger? Kevin Schmidt from Wetzlar or Bjarki Mar Elisson from Eisenach? Hardly see any other candidates...

Interesting thougts Grzymisław. Some updates. Pfahl is connected with Bietigheim who made it to first league next season. It is his hometown. It is very likely that Hamburg will start over in third divison. So some of the old guys like Jansen, Schröder, Hens, Herrmanni might stay. I don't see Janse...

Group A isn't good one for Polish team... Hungary - home team and in Gyor I can't see them losing Spain - very dangerous with good line play and so big damage by breakthroughs Russia - a bit unpredictable, but not easy one for sure It looks like not only Poland not only isn't closer to medal race, b...

Nice team is growing in Baia Mare. I know it was written before, some other former Wisła Płock stars like Nikola Eklemović and Bostjan Kavas are also connected with that team. While Bosnian international line player Toromanović goes to Creteil in France. By the way Hamburg is down for sure now, but ...

Future of Icelandic doesn't seem that bad What many forget a little bit is that future best handballer of the world and possibly 2nd ever after Nikola Karabatić - Aron Palmarsson - may lead national team for next 10 years at least Many players are growing. It's time to leave Atlason(since late 2012 ...

So the full results were: Poland 54:52 Germany Any of these teams is out, then it's a waste for competition and for handball as a sport. And Germans are out again. They got few stars like Glandorf, Kraus and Bitter back after a pause in national team, Poles missed Jaszka(2 games), Lijewski and Jurki...

Albert Rocas goes to La Rioja.
Then Lindberg to Kolding, I hope!

Shocking loss for Barcelona. Cannot understand how it's possible, I know maybe better tactic, better league(so more practice against similar strength teams), but with one position only better in Flensburg. Barcelona led by 2-3 just before the end of regular time and still managed to lose. Kiel defea...

Mariusz Jurkiewicz from Płock to Kielce since 2015/16. Very bad move for Kielce as they may kill main rival that way and it would hurt them too. Surely Jurkiewicz made huge step forward in 2013/14 turning from top class defensive specialist and solid backshooter to real backshooter monster with grea...

Huge win for Szeged and for Hungary! Congratulations
While we all cannot blame referees nearly always for results. Handball is propably hardest team sport to referee. Both because so much room for personal opinions and intensity of the game.

Great semi-finals! Szeged in the final with sometimes unbelievable Mikler(I know I should consider him a symbol of Hungary like was Szathmari and Fazekas is, going to Veszprem he may grow to top 5 in the world). Constanta did pretty well, couldn't expect them to break personally strongest team in th...

Very much expected final at the beginning was Berlin vs. Montpellier. And it looks like it's going to be. Maybe Szeged can upset the hosts? Constanta made a big surprise already by entering quarter-finals and then eliminating Lugi. I'd very much like to see them fighting until the end, but French nu...

Finally updated the first post with updated notes and new players who were listed here, but not yet added.
Hopefully may appear more often on forum.

People also claimed Denmark got help against Spain, despite statistics being against them. I decided to watch the Den-CRO game with an English commentator today and in fact it strengthened my belief that Denmark got at least as many bad decisions against them. The commentator noted several bad deci...

I cannot tell you why there was such a mistake, but I've just corrected.

Was Denmark so much supported by referees? I'm afraid they were. But cannot clearly judge it the decisive factor, which were missed occasions by Croat frontliners for couple of times. Wilbek's team is doing pretty bad whole championship, playing most of the games without 100% performance by most of ...
