Handball WC in germany

@Jeyman: havent seen the match either so i cant tell if there were good or bad calls that made Germany win. i am just happy about it. This country needs all the fun and happiness they can get these days. The soccer WC was a tournament that changed this country's face into positive. i can only hope that the Handball WC has the same effect.

It's right though that it is amazing that only european teams are in the quarterfinals.

Nahh I can't confirm that...since last summer I really don't like Pizza, Spaghetti and Lasagne anymore...don't now if that's a positive thing or not Anyways I saw the Spain vs. Germany match and I have to say that the refs were average in my opinion...they made some unlogic decisions on both sides in the final minutes so there's no reason to complain that they were in favour of Germany

News, media in Spanish [summarized translation later]:

La IHF envía a casa a los árbitros noruegos. Abrahamsen y Kristiansen no pitarán más en el Mundial tras perjudicar a España
COLPISA, Leontxo García
Su parcialidad a favor de Alemania contra España fue tan manifiesta que el Comité Arbitral de la Federación Internacional de Balonmano (IHF) ha tomado medidas: los noruegos Abrahamsen y Kristiansen no arbitrarán más partidos del Mundial. Numerosos jugadores de diversas selecciones hablaron de “enorme injusticia”, reconocida incluso por una parte de la prensa alemana.
“En los últimos nueve minutos, los árbitros noruegos pitaron demasiadas faltas contra los españoles, y todas sus decisiones en situaciones delicadas o poco claras fueron en contra de España”, dice el ‘Koelner Stadt Anzeiger’, cuya opinión coincide con la expresada por varios informadores germanos en el palco de prensa durante el partido. Y quienes vieron la repetición de los últimos diez minutos por un canal alemán salieron de las pocas dudas que tenían.
[...]
Las muestras de solidaridad con los españoles fueron numerosas: “Se nos acercaron jugadores tunecinos, checos, croatas y franceses. Estaban todos indignados. Algunos llegaron a decir que si los arbitrajes van a ser así es mejor negarse a jugar contra Alemania”, contaron varios miembros de la selección española”. Ya había habido quejas por parcialidad arbitral a favor de Alemania en la segunda fase, sobre todo tras el duelo contra Eslovenia, que los anfitriones ganaron por 35-29.



Summarized translation:

- The referees (Abrahamsen y Kristiansen, Norwegian) are leaving Germany, as the IHF (International Handbol Federation) decided rapidly because of the evident damage to Spanish team
- Some German media recognize it has been so obvious
- Players from other teams had said: "is better to refuse to play against Germany, if the refereeing is going to be like that"



And I repeat, I'm not a Spanish team supporter, I'm Catalan

Yeah, I'm interested to this (I have a degree in Political Science) and I read the WC has been a great success in Germany. I am really glad about that, you're the strongest piece of the E.U. (in population and in economics)

Das ist groB because I know that national pride was a taboo subject there since too many decades...

TchuB!!

Germany 32 - Frogeaters 31

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles ...

Finaaaaaaaaaaale Ohooooooooo Finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale Ohohohooooooooooooooo

You did not deserve that!!!
You have a better team and ugly hair, I will give you that. But that was more luck that skill.

thats what supporters can do

Yes Yes Yes.
Germany is in the final

Nothing special compared to "Currywurst" with "Pommes Rot - Weiss" Hopefully the final will be Germany vs. Poland

nah they'd steal our balls and leave

As long as they don't score with it...I don't mind
