Croatia is the best team of qualifications, but we are not holders! Let’s go to Denmark or Sweden
Just a second time Croatian handball players have undergone qualifications for the European Championship with a 100 % effect. The only time they succeeded in the 2012 EP in Serbia, when they had Spain, Lithuania and Romania in the group. For the EP, which will be played in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in all six games from February 15 to February 1. We were dominant in all six games. On paper, only the Czech Republic could get closer to us, and we were more convincing in two games than against Belgium and Luxembourg, interesting.
Moreover, we were statistically the best team of qualifications. Slovenia and Iceland also had all the victories, but our goal-difference, +61, was above the others, even if there were no Denmark, Norway, Sweden and France in qualifying, it should be emphasized. Dagur Sigurdsson had a luxury in the end to offer a chance and some unknown faces, such as Tokic or Cesko, that in the present without Duvnjak and Karacic, for example, Cindric and Mandic were the game on the bench in Belgium.
Today, at 7 pm, there is a draw in Danish herning. Despite the world silver and convincing qualifications, we are in the second strong hat because we know that we have not celebrated on the last two EPs. Surely in the introductory group (with four national teams), we will not draw Portugal, Norway, Iceland, Spain and the Farsa Islands.
The organizers are six The national team, three from the first hat and three from the second, have already divided one into six groups and from the holders we can get Germany (Herning), Denmark (Herning) and Sweden (Malmö) the Germans are most desirable because of the last mutual results, but in that case in the second round, from which the two best teams in the semifinals will welcome Denmark and Norway. And playing with Scandinavians on their ground … Maybe because of that, the best option would be Sweden in Malmö with the hope that the French would not end up in that half of the draw, but these are already wishes and greetings. In the third hat stronger than Poland, SJ. Macedonia and Czech Republic are Austria, Montenegro and the Netherlands, and in the fourth Serbia, Switzerland and Italy more demanding than Georgia, Romania and Ukraine.
