Half time 14-17 After an ideal start to the match, the Blues have paid for a cruel lack of discipline in the last few minutes. 3 times 2 minutes and huge spaces left in the 9 meters. You will have to wake up!

30′ 14-17 Ohlololo… the +3 just before returning to the changing rooms…

29′ 14-16 No panic with Palicka! (she goes cream) New XXL parade!

28′ 13-15 Done.

26′ 13-14 Descat misses at 7… Ball +2 for the reigning vice-world champions.

25′ 13-14 La Défense is no more than a business district located in the metropolis of Greater Paris in Île-de-France… It’s open day!

23′ 12-12 HUUUUGGGOOOOOO DESCAT 2/2!

22′ 11-12 Second 2 minutes for Karl Wallinius. Come on now! 7 meters ahead for Hugo…

21′ 10-11 The Swedes pass in front for the first time in the game!

17′ 10-8 Palicka’s second goal…

16′ 10-7 Nikola Karabatic scoops the third 2 minutes of the meeting on the French side. “Discipline”, arranges Guillaume Gille!

15′ 9-7 WOWAAAAAAAAAAAA! VINCENT PRESIDENT! (France thanks you)

13′ 9-7 Vincent, if you can close the shop before the 55^and, that would suit us. Sincerely, France.

11′ 7-6 Sublime save from Andreas Palicka who then sends the ball into the empty cage. It’s starting to get hot potato.

1′ 0-0 Beginning of the meeting! COME ON GUYS !

8:42 p.m. This Marseillaise… a Nutella moment!

8:37 p.m. Obviously, we all have this defeat in the semi-finals of the last World Cup in our throats. The Blues had been jostled by impressive Scandinavians (32-26). Yann Genty and Vincent Gérard had been through hell… So a year later – give or take a day – thanks to Desbonnet, Pardin and Gérard for setting the record straight.

8:30 p.m. Hello louts! We’re having a little fun on this Friday evening with a handball meeting. Our reigning Olympic champion Blues are on the road to a new European title. Today, Sweden is on the program. Who will join Spain on the last step of the tournament? We will live this together!
