[html] Well, maybe the EHF is trying to make up for their less than spectacular Euro 2008 web streaming, but whatever the reason I’ll be looking forward to seeing my “favorite” team, Montpellier in action this Saturday against German side Gummersbach. This should be a good game between evenly matched teams. Sunday’s offering between French champion Ivry and German Champion Kiel will be a homecoming of sorts for Kiel’s Frenchmen Karabatic and Ohmeyer, but barring a mega performance from Luc Abalo it should be an easy victory for Kiel.
To watch the games you first need to register at the laola1.tv website: www.laola1.tv The instructions are in German, but it’s pretty intuitive as to what you need to enter. After you’ve registered, you’ll then get an email with your username and password. You can then log on to the site and change your password. As this process takes a few minutes you’re probably better off doing it now rather than game time on Saturday.

Thanks, John, for pointing out this fantastic opportunity to watch teams not regularly featured on sportdigital.tv.
To speed things up a bit, here are a few key German words to know:

2. On the pop-up page:
Benutzername = username

weiblich = female/feminine

Then click the box next to "Ich habe die Nutzungsbedingungen gelesen und akzeptiere sie" = the usual disclaimer about having read and accepted the terms of use
