Obviously, disappointed as a French. But since 2017, the Experts are dead but we stay relevant. I guess it is now the time for Denmark to dominate and do what no one else has done: do the three-peat.

They dominated us from the start and didn't break while bending for some parts of the game.

He would get dominated physically as it is a contact sport. Also the shooting technique is very different. The ball is covered in resin and you roll it out of your hand, flicking the ball with your wrist. He probably would be a poor shot.

Handball players are tall - average is 6 foot 5 and 210 lbs. They would have no problem tackling him, and he would get fatigued fast from it.

Balic was the MVP at Championships 5 consecutive times which is quite spectacular. And Handball player of the World a couple of times.

But Wislander received a specific award for player of the century from the IHF. That was last century though, so Balic was not really part of it playing wise.

Both spectacular players. But we have a lot of century left, so high obstacle for Balic to get that award. Specially with competition like Karabatic, Hansen. Who knows what Gidsel will end up like. Or Knorr.

Amused they called UGA for comment. They probably going “what does that have to do with us. He on NFL track, he is no longer here.” Drinking no good, especially if hoping for multi-million contract. Best to save partying until after get the windfall just to prevent losing it. How horrible if heard, “Lost and drunk, <insert top player> suffered career ending injuries when <insert drunk induced injury>.”

Opening paragraph from the article translated below

“Whoever wields the pen writes the story. That's how it has to be. And one fine day we will hopefully understand the greatness of the seconds we witnessed when jubilant Danish handball players stormed a hall floor in Stockholm. Rasmus Lauge looked like someone who had won 120 million in Lotto, while Mikkel Hansen's small, unrestrained jumps out on the Danish bench put the performance in perspective. Denmark are world champions for the third time in a row after the final victory of 34-29 over the French. An unprecedented title harvest on the men's side, moving commas in the history books. Forward with the chest. Another star must be printed on the national team jerseys.”

Congrats Denmark đŸ‡©đŸ‡°
