I agree. Bad idea to introduced it at the end of the season. They should have waited until next season

Anyway people, which team do you think will win the tournament, and which team do you support here?

Personally I'm in favor of Esbjerg, because they have Mork and Reistad and Kristensen and other players I love. I doubt they can win the final4 though, and probably the winner of Gyor - Vipers will win the final. Hopefully I'm wrong - usualy I am

It's wide open, but Gyor really are playing at home here, giving them a huge advantage...so Gyor most likely.

I am here to see top handball from the best teams in the world, it's good enough, although cheering for Esbjerg and Vipers ofc Smile

Problem is....me and my wife are attending a Tantra festival in Oslo this weekend, from friday to sunday....hehe...not really knowing anything about tantra....and I am really exhausted just after 2 workshops today. How we are going to survive a full day tomorrow, I have no idea Smile

But I will miss the matches, unless you post them Dofer, and I can catch up in the evening...no pressure Smile

If you have a VPN for a country that is not geoblocked then you could watch it back on ehftv.com

MVM Dome is the home of FTC, not Győr. Smile

It is not our home - as far as I remember we haven't played a game there. But at least it is in the same city.

Haha, that was such a subtle hint Smile

But the games are finally on tv here, so I won't be able to record them from the internet. However, you may be able to watch the replays without geo-blocking in ehftv, and if not, surely they will appear somewhere in youtube. I'll try find them if you won't be too exhausted from all that tantra.

@Gojira, how many FTC's fans will be at the arena? Probably most tickets were sold to other fans before FTC qualified to the Final4?

I don't know the numbers, but there will be some Very Happy

There will be lots of football fans, too. They will be in black - a fashion that I dislike very much.

Just hope that these football fans won't spoil the fun by being football fans

I remember only one case of trouble: when 1-2 plastic cups with beer were thrown in. It was a few years ago, when Johansson was the coach of CSM - you may or may not remember it. It was rather embarrassing, but fortunately there was no violence. I don't expect violence either today or tomorrow.

by Dofer Sat Jun 03, 2023 7:44 pm

Wow, what a day! Just to think that some of us preferred to do tantra today Shocked

Anyway, for those who missed the games, replays at ehftv aren't geo-blocked, and if they are, you can watch them in this youtube channel:

Fuck...yes.. and close to death

Thanks Dofer, heading back to hotel to check it out

by **Dutchfan** Sun Jun 04, 2023 9:45 am

@Mr007, The livestreams for me (Netherlands )were geoblocked on ehftv.com, but the replays are not. It may be the same in your country so that's could also be an option

by Mr007 Sun Jun 04, 2023 10:54 am

Yes, I will check esbjerg tonight when we are home.
Strange how Esbjerg actually could lose this match, but I guess they already in their head was thinking about the final... and forgot about the fans making FTC perform at the highest intensity Smile

by Mr007 Sun Jun 04, 2023 11:20 pm

Hmmm...close match after all, being 7 down first half for Esbjerg. It is really sad that the goal to Nora 2 minutes before FT was cancelled because of a referee error....smells a little bad to me at least....

The name of the game....refs were bribed? Or just an error that can occur...2 minutes before FT....absolutely cruisal for Esbjerg?

Well, we were cheated for a penalty shoot out, although Gyor perhaps would have won that after all, but at least fair Smile

Sorry, but I will not congratulate Gyor, since for me they had a backup plan that was solved with just some money....and it was very visible...

We have a problem....

Pauletta Foppa is not a rookie. The first time she played in EHF was during season 2018-19 and begun to be really efficient the following season.
She is only 22 y.o and already very experienced.
