The Miscellaneous Sports Thread

We're world champions in handball which means half the country is ecstatic and the other half is doing their best to show how little they care.

Sweden had a good runt this World Cup, losing to Denmark in the final. It's the first time in 20 years that the Swedish handball team made it to the final.

I've always found handball to be one of those sports that it's rather boring to watch but extremely fun to play. Always had a blast in school.

Handball is great fun to watch. Went to plenty THW Kiel matches during my college days, plus matches of my local grassroots team where a few friends played.

I find it's fun to watch and one of the few team sports where it's equally entertaining with women games.

I find the plays rather repetitive, is all. But the concept of throwing the ball at people is just too much fun when you're 12

I don't know if it's true or not, but I talked to a goalie once. He claimed that they regularly sprained their fingers in all manners of different angles in almost every game. Ouch.

Based on limited viewing it looks like there is only one offensive play.

Breakaway, fail, weave, repeat.

Not surprised, considering most handball goalies are a bit no the crazy side. I guess you have to be when you regularly block high velocity shots with your face.

People claim there's a lot of technique and tactics involved. I just see large guys running into each other then stopping the play because of fouls awarded arbitrarily to defense or offense.

You're describing basketball.

We have a new Wozniacki! It's Clara Tauson and apparently she's very good.
