HAMBURG (Ekstra Bladet): It was at the WORLD cup on the Island 24 years ago, that France really was an international recognized håndboldnation. The French won surprising gold, and they have since not looked back.
today, France is the most winning håndboldnation in the story.
In the 24 years that have passed, it has become the 18 medaljesæt at the european championships, WORLD championships and OLYMPIC games.
It is an incredible achievement.
And now the gauls again with medaljespillet. Denmark may tighten the legs in the day in the Arena in Hamburg, but just France is gone and become a Danish skrækmodstander.
be Preserved, the red and white has won many battles over France. But most of the victories is back in time.
we Look at the last 12 years, and in particular the fighting at the european championships, the WORLD cup and OLYMPICS, Denmark has suffered a grievous defeat.
It began otherwise fine at the WORLD cup in Germany in 2007. Denmark won bronzekampen 34-27 over a French team, as not really bothered.
France had come to win the gold, and when it failed, was all another matter.
At the WORLD cup in Croatia in 2009, France won without trouble 27-22 in the inaugural group stage.
Denmark has never won olympic gold, and it still hurts to think of the WORLD cup final in Sweden in 2011. Denmark had long momentum, but since the 60 great minutes had passed, there stood 31-31 on the measured breeding.
After extra time, France won 37-35.
Then they were really the evil spirit. Even more painfully, it was in 2014, when Denmark was the host of EM.
It was here, the Box really was known as a håndboldmekka.
Worn by an empathetic hjemmepublikum went to Denmark all the way to the finals, where the opponent was, of course, France.
It was a downswing of the rank. France won with the sharp digits, 41-32.
the Revenge came in the OLYMPIC final in 2016.
After losing to France in the opening group stage Denmark got revenge in a gripping finale and ended up winning 28-26. France can be defeated. Also when there is metal in the game.
It is there, in the evening, and it may well be that the Danish coach Nikolaj Jacobsen is busy proclaiming France to be the world’s best håndboldnation, but despite everything, it was us who invented the game, and among the four semifinalehold, Denmark is the only one which has not yet put points at the finals.

HAMBURG (Ekstra Bladet): France + resin = Nikola Karabatic!
Ask virtually anyone whom they regard as the world’s best handball player, and the answer comes as a automatreaktion: Nikola Karabatic.
But the 34-year-old legend is a shadow of itself. Two shots in ten attempts so far in mellemrunden, where he somewhat surprisingly, was written after a three month break after the operation for picking up a metatarsal injury.
Clean the under 23 crew
on the other hand, a wild young litters on the way. That is to say: They are already there – and it very much!
Against Croatia played France in the periods with a clean the under 23 crew. And we’re not talking the handball-the rookies, but for players who at a young age already has proven itself and serves hyren in the big clubs.
Daniel Svensson, TV2-expert is impressed and the guides like a trip over the fantastic five.
