Guest Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Is anyone watching the handball world cup? They are showing some game in Freesport. I think handball is a really underrated game. Is is getting much coverage in Germany @nudge or France @Batard ?
nudge Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Not a fan of handball myself... Don't know how the coverage in Germany is; I haven't been there for years haha. Probably decent as they have one of the best handball teams in the world... @Tommy might know better

Rucksackfranzose Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Answering in @Tommy's behalf: Germany's matches are broadcasted on free TV in Germany and overall there's good coverage because Handball is the second most practiced team sport here.

Ow right. We don't actually have a national team. Which is quite bad I think because although handball is a minor sport in Britain we still have enough resources to put a team together
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 20, 2019 Subscriber Posted January 20, 2019 Handball is one of those sports I love when it's in the Olympics but couldn't care less for the following four years. I also think in the UK it barely even exists. Never known a school who do it in PE, or heard of a local handball club to my memory. Strange as I do think it's a decent sport, nice balance of technique, intelligence and physicality.

I've never really understood why indoor team sports aren't more popular over here considering it pisses down most of the time. You are right we don't even have a national team. We reformed for the Olympics but we haven't played a game since 2015.
Moderator Tommy Posted January 21, 2019 Moderator Posted January 21, 2019 Sorry, I don't watch Handball
Azeem Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Do you get a penalty for a football in handball ?
Berserker Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 We got robbed against Egypt as per usual, would have went through otherwise.

I played that in Germany when I was in the army, only in the gym mind you but it got pretty physical troop v troop in them days, have not seen much of it on tv over here though, maybe the odd clip on Sky Sports.

Its normally only the Olympic which are shown. This is the first time the world cup has been shown in the UK. Funnily enough there was once a man utd handball team. Don't know of they were anything to do with man utd or just took the name
