start with the worst draw possible and in last months 5 keys players out.
so now they are eliminated after the first game.

In the end, not a bad WCh for Russia B. They were able to push the hosts and France to the limit. Pity for the match vs. Serbia. Brazil is getting better and better and their level at this WCh has been truly impressive. Russia can look back at some little details from all matches that would've allowed it to be even first in this group!
I think they can look at the next Euro with lots of optimism. They seem to be perfectly capable of defeating anyone, bar probably Denmark.
A nightmare group,they key game was against brazil and brazil is getting better every year,9 place overall......
Now the goal in the euro is to get the olympic qual tour spot.....
denmark(already in tokyo),norway,france,germany,sweden,croatia,spain in the qual tournament.
so it will be between slovenia,hungary,russia,austria(home factor),iceland,.....a lot will depend on the draw.

congrats to Denmark on the world title,clearly best team in the world by now.
Norway second and Sweden fifth...Scandinavia male handball the best in the world now,no one would say that 15
years ago.
