World Cup Handball: The Final Stretch

Way to go, Swedes! Their keeper is gonna drive those Frenchmen absolutely insane 🙏

Solid game. Expecting plenty of drama to follow...

Brothers, let the vikings charge forward, just as your ancestors once laid waste to France. There shall be no mercy shown.

The Swedes are playing out of their minds right now, they’re even up by one at the half.

But you know they’re gonna try every dirty trick in the book to pull away before the buzzer, depends on whether the refs can actually keep them in check.

The Swedes are playing incredibly well; they're showing some serious grit 👍

I’m really rooting for them to take down those Frenchmen 😁

First game where the French didn't look absolutely invincible. Now we gotta see what the second half looks like. I’m expecting a stronger showing from France, but those Swedishwomen aren't gonna go down without a fight—they'll be fighting like lions. It wasn't a fluke that they were crushing everyone in their path... except for the Danes.

Probably nothing, since our guys will be watching the semifinals from the bleachers or just chilling on their couches anyway

The finger-pointing at the Frenchman has officially begun.

There isn't another sport besides water polo where the refs have this much control over the game...

I have always maintained that this is precisely why handball hasn't reached mainstream popularity in the States.

The Frenchmen were playing without a goalkeeper today. Did they actually manage to save anything?

Precisely my thoughts.

Things are getting intense ☕

Holy hell, what a game of handball 🙏

Those Swedes are great; they were already staring down a -3 deficit, so now they’ve completely leveled the playing field

Switching over to the basketball scores. I'll be back to check the results once the +1 Sweden game wraps up. 🙏

I guess we Americans would probably sink down to -8 if we tried that.
