Who will win the World Men's Handball Championship in Croatia 2009?

Who knows...I think that Croatia...but my heart is always with my country team, nice game yesterday by the way;)

Yes and it's quite interesting sport...more than baseball for instance:D Just for me obviously;)

[Maelstrom]

I was quite perplexed whilst in Europe as to why I had never heard of this sport before.

I guess elsewhere we have manlier sports such as Rugby, League, Aussie Rules etc :p

But seriously, it was a very athletic and interesting sport to watch :)

Well, well, well... I knew about this kinda "sport", but I don't see it fit for men. Even though we have come far in the process of making the world transvestite, but this sport is forehold women.

But if anyone's going to win, is sure as hell ain't Norway, even though I voted us out of pure nationalism:p

Handball players are not small latte sipping men. :)
This is the German national team participating in this year's world cup in Croatia.

Compared to this, the players from the most popular sport in Europe (and the world), looks like children. :cool:

[HawkR]

Hah! I'm taller than the average:p

But damn, I didn't know Germany allowed steroids:p

They should rather attend Rugby or something.
