This is handball♥️
Kiko Costa. 17 years old. Just played the match of his life with 19 goals. But it wasn’t enough!
The players of the biggest rivals of Sporting CP, FC Porto, instead of celebrating the (almost) title, take the time to comfort a heartbroken opponent! Love it!

I can’t believe it. Devastating news from FC Porto.
Alfredo Quintana has left us far, far too early. The heaven has a new king.
Rest in peace, Kingtana💫

Haha, love it! Interview with the son of Andreas Palicka, Aston:
Q: How good is your father?
A: He is the best in the world… 2nd best. Landin is a little bit better
Q: How is it to see you father bringing home a gold medal?
A: Wierd. Normally he brings a silver- or bronze medal
BENFICA! First ever Portuguese club to win the European League/EHF Cup and first non-German club to win the tournament since Szeged won in 2014. Portuguese handball🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Egyptian team becomes legendary! Egypt are the first African nation to qualify for an Olympic semifinal in the history. A huge day for Egyptian, African and non-European handball!
#handball
Oooooooh my God!!!!
Portugal qualifies for the Olympics for the first time ever! They were down with 6 goals! I can’t believe it. This is so amazing in the memory of Quintana!

I normally don’t like to focus on the referees (only when I’m playing myself😉).
But what the Croatian duo did tonight was absolutely amazing. One of the best performances I’ve witnessed in a very, very difficult match to control. Huge respect!

Benfica wins the Portuguese Super Cup. First they defeated Porto after 2 extra times yesterday. Today, they did the same against Sporting.
The fight for the Portuguese league title will be very interesting once again.

With the end of the Euros I would like to thank you for all the nice words and messages throughout the tournament.
It means the whole world to me, and gives me even more desire to continue hyping our amazing sport.

He is also 3 times “IHF World Player of the Year”.
Flagbearer of France in Paris 2024?!
The IHF wants handball to become a more professional sport. But in 2023 in a World Championship the statistics of an opening match are full of errors on even things like shots, goals and suspensions.
It’s just not good enough - and it devalues the product of handball…
Huge drama in Skopje! The Macedonian national team has qualified for another championship and has still qualified for every single World- and European championship since the World Championship 2011! Amazing last dance for King Kiril👑
#handball
I’ve talked about it before. I still like the idea. Why not let the Tunisian and Egyptian champion play in the EHF Champions League?
Two huge handball countries with a rich tradition - and with amazing fans. Maybe sometime in the future🤷🏼♂️
#handball
Without N’Guessan, Descat, Briet, N. Karabatic, Konan, Villeminot, Kounkoud and Minne in a semifinal versus Sweden in Sweden.
But still enough quality to qualify for the final. Just impressive, France🇫🇷
#handball
History made by the Faroe Islands!
Amazing achievement by the nation with a population of just over 50.000 who have qualified for the EHF Euros 2024 - their 1st major championship ever. They become the smallest nation (population) ever to qualify for a team sport championship!

at international competitions since he debuted on the French national team in late 2002! Insane! The semifinal becomes his 17th champions semifinal for France❗️

If anyone was in doubt if the hype of the Costa brothers was real, they are now convinced after the two matches of Sporting versus Magdeburg.
Both soooo talented. Especially Francisco “Kiko” Costa. I do not remember having seen such an elegant and versatile 17-yo player before!
As a Dane I’m of course extremely disappointed, but as a handball lover I have to say that the genius Spanish tactics makes me happy. And inspired. And blown away. Magical!

Out of this world!🤯🐐
How can we in handball accept the fact that the final, decisive matches of the groups at the championships are not played at the same time? Unprofessional, unfair, unbelievable.

With the end of the World Championship I would like to thank you all for following and interacting with me throughout the tournament.
Remember, handball is much more than the major championships. It’s a great sport you can follow almost all year round!

You win some, you lose some.
Yehia Elderaa after the devasting quarterfinal defeat of Egypt against Denmark in the World Championship in January and today after the historic win in the quarterfinal in the Olympics against Germany.
Handball is amazing and cruel. And we love it!
The Faroese handball fairytale continues! The U20 Faroe Islands national team becomes the first to defeat a Danish national team in a competitive match in any of the big team sports in the history (handball, football, basketball, volleyball or ice hockey)! Amazing performance!
The last TTO of 🇸🇪! Epic!
GODfridsson: “we play a 🇩🇪 right, a 🇩🇰 left... come wide. If I don’t let it go... for the whole of your fucking life hold him in the back & you’ll get it between the legs. Hey, hey, hey LISTEN… if you get the chance you take it, he's bad from the wing."
A major problem in handball? Players (many players) who take more than 3 steps - all the time. It makes defending so difficult.
My suggestion? A third referee who is only responsible for keeping an eye on the number of steps and players standing in the goal area while shooting.
Nedim Remili is named MVP of the European Championship.
He is the 3rd French player to be named MVP at the Euros after Jackson Richardson (2000) and Nikola Karabatic (2008, 2014).

I dag har været en langt over gennemsnittet træls dag.
Jeg forsøger altid, når jeg deltager i debatprogrammer, podcasts, interviews og lignende samt skriver om håndbolden på de sociale medier, at være objektiv, opføre mig ordentligt og opretholde en høj faglighed.
Den faglighed
5 times Bundesliga MVP, Andy Schmid, retires with immediate effect.
It has never been boring to follow him on the court - one hell of a player!

Tonight one of the biggest legends and greatest shooters of the handball sport (imo) plays his last cap! In sold-out Boris Trajkovski Arena with more than 7000 fans.
What Kiril Lazarov has done for handball in his country is unbelievable.
Fortunately he stays in the sport.
I feel so sorry for the Egyptian team. And I have the utmost respect for what you have build! So many talented and promising players.
Your time will come!
