SPANISH HANDBALL | EURO OPENER : FRANCE 26 - SPAIN 29

The Sport of HANDBALL does not get the space that it deserves here, I am aware of this but as a "one man blogging band" I have to go with the more popular of Sports, being that Football (Soccer), its simple demand.  Said this I take the opportunity to give coverage tonight when something big happens & in this case a victory by SPAIN in the opener of the European Handball Championships.

Spain - France 2012

Apart from a good start in the tournament were the London Olympic Games classification is also up for grabs, the defeated Nation was none other than FRANCE, the Champions of everything in the Sport of Handball: the current Olympic, European & World Champions.

FRANCE lost 26 - 29 to SPAIN which is a fabulous indicator of the current form of Spanish side & a moral (psychological) booster for their aspirations for the Euro title & to secure an Olympic Games place. There is much more left to the tournament with some excellent & strong teams still to face ahead, but its great news for Spanish Handball & Spanish Sports.

Match details:

France - 26 : Omeyer; Abalo (6), Barachet (1), Karabatic (3), Fernandez (7), Guigou (3, 1p) & Bertrand Gille (3), Karaboue (ps), Dinart (-), Guillaume Gille (-), Narcisse (3), Joli (-), Accambray (-), Detrez (-) & Bingo (-)


Spain - 29 : Hombrados; Roberto García (1), Gurbindo (2), Guardiola (3), Morros (1), Alberto Entrerríos (3), Ugalde (4), Sierra (ps), Maqueda (3), Víctor Tomás (2), Raúl Entrerríos (1), Sarmiento (-), Aginagalde (1), Juanín García (2), Romero (2p) & Cañellas (4)


Score every 5 minutes: 3-3, 5-6, 7-9, 8-11, 10-13 y 13-15 (rest). 15-18, 17-21, 20-22, 21-25, 25-27 y 26-29 (Final)

May the good form continue for Spain, go guys!

R I P | SPANISH & WORLD SPORT LOSES JUAN ANTONIO SAMARANCH AT 89 YEARS OF AGE

JUAN ANTONIO SAMARANCH has died today at the age of 89 in Barcelona. I would be falling short saying that this man is directly responsable for where SPANISH SPORT ( in all its disciplines) is today. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) President from 1980 until 2001, he was the man who worked his heart out to give Barcelona & Spain its wonderful 1992 Olympic Games, apart from modernizing the Olympic Games as they are today.

Very sad day for Spain, Spaniards, Sportsmen/women & Spanish Sports as it loses a person who dedicated his life to Sport & who we will have to wait a very long time to see anything similiar again. Thank you José Antonio & RIP as you will be missed. Tweet

KOREA vs IVORY COAST: KOREAN GOALKEEPER SCORES GOAL

This has nothing to do with Spanish Football & Sports. However, the
ocassion calls for a post, & a mention at least, as what happened
does´nt occur often & when it does it always calls for our attention.

Korean Goalkeeper scores a goal in a pre-Olympic match against
the Ivory Coast.
