Portugal 2x 2 min

So can anyone explain to me why exactly Portugal got penalised, for Danish keeper hitting a completely oblivious Portugal player in the back in the first half. And why did the second player get 2 min suspension at the same time.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone else find it odd how Denmark somehow can't win the European Championships?

It's been 13 years since their last win in 2012 :O Kinda crazy they haven't won it, with the likes of Gidsel & Pytlick. I guess they're cursed in the Euros, lol

Rule clarification!

Isn't it not allowed to shoot after one foot land in the gk zone , as i watched in slow mode in the denmark vs Portugal, it happened multiple times both teams players shoot while 1 foot touching the ground. And i saw 1 post before that made things even harder to understand.

Croatian Lidl is giving free Croissant today with the slogan "We ate the french!". It's most probably cause of the large boycott targeted at stores in Croatia.

World Best Player 2025

https://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/haandbold/vanvittig-dansk-dominans-gidsel-faar-stor-pris/10515330

Mathias Gidsel (41 points), Emil Nielsen (36 points), Simon Pytlick (29 points), Emil Jakobsen (29 points) and Magnus Saugstrup (27 points).

So the entire top 5 is Danish players which seems... reasonable..

Aleix Gomes, Ludovic Fabregas and Felix Claar joins the 5 on team of the year.

EHF Finals selling tickets

I mistakenly bought tickets for EHF Finals in May instead of IHF World Cup Finals tickets. Does anyone want to buy them? I'll sell them for less than retail just to get rid of them. I have 3 tickets.

Is it just me or are yellow cards rarely used anymore?

For context, I havent been actively following handbal for 3-4 years and I couldnt help but notice that there is a lot less yellow cards being given out. For example yesterday, the game was a bloodbath but there were only 3 yellow cards, and one was given to a assistant coach. I followed every Croatia game, and there were like 15 yellows in games they played. Compared to the 2017 world cup where there were 50-60 cards given out in their games. Is this just a coincidence or a rule change?

Time-out

As a french there is something that almost always bothering me for years during time-out. 99,9% of the time, the coach and players of both national teams only speak about how they are going to do their next move but never speaks about the generality of the game and some part of the game. Be careful at this or that. Is it the same for the other team ? And if true why ?

I want to also congrats croatians, glad to have you back at this stage of the competition.

Will there be any extra tickets for WC finals?

I am looking to fly tomorrow to Oslo to watch Croatia in the finals but I see on the website that there is no tickets for the finals currently available.

Since another semi-final game is still not sold out and there is no home team in Oslo I cannot believe that there is no more tickets.

Thank you for the info!

Not even a suspension btw...

There were a hundred hits like this throughout the game and the refs only called 1 when Minne did it (in this instance its Mem). The refs ALWAYS do this when france plays. They did it against Sweden in the last Euros...

French supporters please dont be salty for calling out french dirty play.
