[b]A note on Time-Shifting: [/b] To support Handball fans world-wide, who may not have the opportunity to view matches live, we are hiding match results and other news information behind the “extended post” in each news article. Additionally, we may have not seen the matches we want to see either, so our results may or may not be up to the minute. For the rationale behind this policy check out this earlier article on Time Shifting: http://teamhandballnews.com/news.php?item.539
