Handball Championship

Time: 17:00

It must be said that the Swedes
have not ceased to impress since the beginning of the competition. The
Scandinavians lost only one game against Denmark, the defending Olympic
champion (27-25), who fell to the surprise of Hungary on Sunday. The men of
Didier Dinart and Guillaume Gille will have to be suspicious against this
nation which dominated the world handball.
France faces Sweden this Tuesday at 7pm. The
Scandinavians have in fact pulverized Belarus 41-22. The players of Kristjan
Andresson did not have to force their talent. For Sweden is in the process of
becoming the great nation of hand she was. The danger is real for the Karabatic
Blues.
Swedish handball
men play tonight their first championship quarterfinals
since the Olympics in 2012. And it will be the hardest possible resistance. Totally
transformed since the fiasco of the Rio Olympics - a single victory in the
group stage - seriously rejuvenated, Sweden has impressed since the start of
the competition. It has only one defeat against Denmark, and yet it had fallen
against a great Niklas Landin.
