Handball EC, males:

HUN - FRA 26-23

The European elite of handball is really balanced.

Well, we're sucking since then.  Against Iceland first, and an embarrassing one against Slovenia then...

Most likely we'll be only ninth or tenth...

8th place in the end. About the right placement, but not the seven better teams are ahead of us. Really poor French performance, and an unlucky German one.

But it seems Hungary will have to face only a moderate difficulty Olympic Games qualification tournament: at the moment it is @ Denmark and against Denmark, FYRO Macedonia/Slovenia and Algeria, 2 qualifies.

And I forgot about a great hockey game on Tuesday:

Red Bull Salzburg - SAPA Fehérvár AV 19 1-7 

in the Austrian League (against the title holder team, which is the dirtiest hockey team).

Ice hockey Division 1/A WCH has just finished.

Austria and Slovenia got back to Pool A, while Ukraine was relegated to Division 1/B (with the 'help' of Team Hungary... Hungarian top player Balázs Ladányi had an interview in which he almost told that we wanted to lose the last game against Great Britain to keep them in the group).

Final result:

1 Slovenia
2 Austria
--------------------
3 Hungary
4 Japan
5 Great Britain
--------------------
6 Ukraine

Though I wasn't really satisfied with the play of the team, they weren't in top form. And on last match against Britain, their attitude was also shameful - a very unusual thing from Hungary ice hockey NT, I have never seen from them anything like this. According to Ljubljana stories from the fans, British and Hungarian supporters were cheering and laughing together at the visible deliberate lame play of Hungary...

ETO will lose an international cup final... AGAIN!

EHF Champions League, women, first match of the final:

Györi Audi ETO KC - Buducnost Podgorica 29-27 (Görbicz scored 12 goals)

They are in really bad shape now (Ferencváros almost beat them in the Hungarian championship final), Podgorica will destroy our team in Montenegro...

[BonzaiJoe]

Don't worry, it's just handball...

[CTG]

Don't worry, it's just handball...

But my favorite team. On the other hand, ask JTK about handball.

Podgorica seems to beat ETO.

Podgorica seems to beat ETO.

Buducnost Podgorica - Györi Audi ETO KC 27-25; overall: 54-54

Cup winner is Buducnost Podgorica (more goals as guest)...

Winning on away goals is one of the stupidest things in European sport cups.

At least, Ferencváros beat Viborg twice in the final and took the Cup Winners' Cup title.

A small ray of light after the national team (women) failed to qualify for the WCH and for the OG (bad coach, awful team moral).

Winning on away goals is one of the stupidest things in European sport cups.

I like that (at least in football). Otherwise the visiting team would play defensively as hell, waste time and never attack just to finish with a draw and then try to win at home, where the other team would do exactly the same. It's more entertaining now, when visiting team plays a bit more defensively than usual, but still try to score and a goal away can really be the ticket to the next round.
