PanAmerican qualifying for Men’s Youth World Championship

Tweet Today the PATHF Youth Championship gets underway in San Cristobal, Venezuela. At stake are four slots at the World Championship tournament in Hungary, August 10-23. Regrettably, there is no team representing USA in this event. In fact, the PATHF Championship points to a discouraging ‘polarization’ within our continent. First, while theoretically such a Championship [...]

EHF Women’s Champions League – a final that is worth watching

Tweet It is understandable that the Men’s Final Four gets much more attention, but it would really be regrettable if handball fans do not take the opportunity to watch the second leg of the Women’s Champions League final Gyor-Larvik on Saturday (EHF-TV, starting local time 15h15, meaning 09h15 on the U.S. East coast). While some [...]

Champions League: all set for Final Four, but did we already have the real final?

Tweet Of course it is nice to have excitement in virtually all of the eight quarter-final games, and the four participants in the Final Four (Kiel, Barcelona, Kielce and Hamburg) got there in a fair and positive manner. But after you play a very long and often tedious period of group matches, what does it [...]

Champions League: Hand vs. Foot

Tweet We are right now at the semi-final stage in football, with some rather amazing German victories this week. In handball, this weekend will offer the return legs of the quarter-finals.

Flensburg vs. Hamburg: Again and again and again and again!

Tweet Two years ago I wrote a series of articles on why European Handball should form a super league. In the third part of that series I made my case that the playoff system of determining a champion is far superior to simply having a regular season only. One of the issues supposedly with a [...]

Follow the money — IHF Treasurer arrested

Tweet Apropos my ‘follow the money’ story from yesterday, involving the Duke of Palma de Mallorca, one always feels tempted to remind that ‘everybody is innocent until proven guilty’. But others prefer to rely on the notion that ‘there is no smoke without a fire’ and, as a former IHF colleague has always cynically stated: [...]

‘Follow the money’ – from Spain to Qatar

Tweet Spain did win the gold medals in the recent men’s World Championship, but at the club level the situation is clearly not so golden. Several teams in the top league have had to step down from the elite level and others have had to carry on with a much depleted squad. Players, not just [...]
