BiH - Handball, Tennis, Futsal, Fighting Thread & Everything else

We play Hungary in 10 minutes. Other results in our group today:

Argentina 17-31 Slovenia
South Korea 27-24 Congo

The S. Korea/Congo was pretty close and surprises me, Argentina-Slovenia was expected.

 

16-11 HT Hungarian lead.

Terrible first half. Defense was OK, we had WAY too many turnovers. Missed quite a few clear-cut chances. Crowd sucks again. We have to play better than this in the second half.

 

25-21 FT Amazing!

We came back, the boys fought hard, and we pulled out a win. Our two goalies (even our defense overall) is amazing. Great second half.

Goosebumps... ********, I was so proud when I read this. Dejan Malinovic

 

our guys should stay away from the beach its no good for that baljia skin

 

HT 13-13

Very good run from the boys, down 11-6 at one point and then we came back to tie the game at the half, thankfully. Great crowd of 9,000-10,000. Hopefully we can keep this up and win the game - that would be huge and we'd likely win the group!

 

We lost to Slovenija yesterday but...

FT 31-21

We demolished Congo. With our 3-1 record, we have already qualified for the Round of 16!!! If we beat Argentina tomorrow, we will be second in our group and face the third placed team from Group D (probably Brazil or Egypt).

 

FT 30-25, we beat Argentina!

We are second place, and we face Egypt in the Round of 16. If we beat Egypt, we face the winner of Germany/Tunisia. Good luck to the boys!.

 

So on who we face next round. Germany lost to France. So I guess we are facing France if we beat Egypt?

Idemo BOSNA! I'm pumped, I'm hoping we kick some ass today

 

14-11 HT against Egypt.

We missed a couple seven meters and have not had luck with the posts. This should be tied or at least one behind Egypt.

 

Need to get this thread going again, rukomet is one of our most popular/best sports.

We just defeated Latvia in World Cup qualifying.

Odlično je naša reprezentacija otvorila utakmicu, na krilima Savića i Prcea došli smo do tri gola prednosti. Latvija međutim vraća seriju i dolazi do izjednačenja.
Nisu naši reprezentativci dozvolili da Latvija preokrene, a fantastični Savić i Prce, uz pomoć Karačića i Grahovca opet donose tri gola prednosti Zmajevima, rezultat je nakon deset minuta bio 6:3.
Već u narednom napadu treći put na utakmici Grahovac zaustavlja Latvijce, a prvi gol za reprezentaciju postiže Alen Ovčina. Nakon isključenja Vranješa Latvijci su smanjili, ali je na drugoj strani pogodio Prce i vratio četiri gola prednosti Zmajevima.
Grahovac je nastavio da briljira na golu, a naši bekovi u napadu, pa je golovima Ovčine, Karačića i Vražalića naš tim došao do šest golova prednosti, rezultat je nakon 18 minuta igre bio 11:5 za Zmajeve. U naredne četiri minute bolja je bila Latvija. Na krilima Pavlovicsa napravili su seriju 3:0 i smanjili na 11:8.
Seriju Latvije prekida debitant Ovčina, svojim trećim golom na susretu. U naradnim napadima vidjeli smo po dva gola Klesniksa i Vranješa. Pet minuta prije kraja prvog poluvremena, rezultat je bio 15:11. Pet golova prednosti našem timu donio je Mirsad Terzić, nakon što je sedmerac izborio Toromanović. Poluvrijeme je završeno golom Ovčine koji je odigrao odlično u svom debiju.
Faruk Vražalić je na samom početku drugog poluvremena izborio sedmerac, a precizan je opet bio Mirsad Terzić. Igralo se potom dugo vremena bez gola, a Latvija je pogodila u 35. minuti. Na drugoj strani Muhamed Toromanović vraća plus sedam.
Od tog trenutka bolje je zaigrala Latvija. Gosti na krilima Pavlovicsa, svog najefikasnijeg igrača dolaze do minus četiri. U 40. minuti susreta rezultat je bio 19:15 za naš tim. Seriju Latvije od 3:0 prekinuo je Kosta Savić, svojim četvrtim golom na susretu.
Nezaustavljiv je na drugoj strani bio Pavlovics, 15 minuta prije kraja susreta bilo je samo plus dva za Zmajeve, a Pavlovics je u tom trenutku imao osam golova na svom kontu. Rezultat je bio 21:19. Seriju Latvije prekino je Faruk Vražalić, u trenutku kada smo na terenu imali igrača manje.
Već u narednom napadu dvije odlične odbrane Benjamina Burića, ali Zmajevi to nisu iskoristili u napadu, pa je na minus dva vratio Klesniks 12 minuta prije kraja. Naši momci nisu pogodili u idućem napadu, a Latvijci su preko Jurdzsa došli na minus jedan 11 minuta prije kraja.
Opet je seriju Latvije prekinuo Ovčina i deset minuta prije kraja susreta Zmajevi su imali dva gola viška. Nakon toga Latvijci koriste svoj napad, ali Karačić nakon brzog centra vraća plus dva našem timu.
Zaigrali su Zmajevi bolje u odbrani, što je rezultiralo novim golom našeg tima. Tri gola prednosti Zmajevima je šest minuta prije kraja donio Mirsad Terzić. Četiri minuta prije kraja susreta bilo je plus jedan za Zmajeve, prednost su smanjili Pavlovics i Jurdzs.
Nisu naši reprezenetativci željeli ispustiti pobjedu, a dva gola prednosti tri minute prije kraja našem timu vratio je Karačić. Igralo se do kraja gol za gol, a Zmajevi su sačuvali prednost i slavili 27:26.

 

So for those who don't know how World Cup qualifying works in Handball, it's pretty simple. The teams that didn't go to the Euro all play in a group stage where the winners go to play-offs against teams that played in the Euro. Winners of the play-offs go to the World Cup 2015 in Qatar.

Current standings in the qualification rounds in our Group:

1) Bosnia and Herzegovina / 3-0-0 / 6 pts
------------------------------------------------------
2) Latvia / 2-0-1 / 4 pts
3) Portugal / 1-0-2 / 2 pts
4) Estonia / 0-0-3 / 0 pts

Matches played up until now:

Oct. 31, 2013 - Estonia 26-29 Bosnia and Herzegovina
Nov. 3, 2013 - Bosnia and Herzegovina 31-29 Portugal
Jan 2, 2014 - Bosnia and Herzegovina 27-26 Latvia

Last matches:

Jan. 5, 2014 - Latvia vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina
Jan. 8, 2014 - Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Estonia
Jan. 12, 2014 - Portugal vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina

So if we beat Latvia on Sunday we're pretty much in the play-offs. Last time, we got Germany, who ended up ranking fifth in that WC and got knocked out in the Quarterfinals by eventual champions Spain.

In that play-off, we lost by 12 in the first leg (away) which is a lot, but made a comeback at home (which I attended ) and beat them by 9 so three goals short off qualification to the World Cup. Hopefully, we get a luckier draw this time.

 

Best fans in the world

 

Very interesting, good to see our NT play very well in handball. Bosnian Diamond I know that Spain is the superpower of Handball, but what are also some other NTs that are good as well? Have we ever qualified for an EC or WC? Who are our best players?

 

Some superpowers other than Spain: Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden, and Croatia are the biggest powers. Pretty much all European.

We haven't made a Euro or WC but have been close several times like in footy.

As for best players, well, Muhamed Toromanovic was considered world class at one point but he is 29 and could be declining. Mirsad Terzic is very good as well as Nikola Prce and Nebojsa Grahaovac. As you can see from the list of our best players, our handball team is able to get all talents even with Serb/Croat backgrounds. This is even more evident in our youth team at the recent World Championship we hosted which had many talents of Bosniak, Bosnian Serb, and Bosnian Croat descent.

 

How is the Bosnian league for Handball?

 

Not bad at all, we've produced one team to the EHF Champions League consistently up until the last couple of seasons. We also participate in the regional handball league, the SEHA Liga.

Some achievements in European handball from our clubs (not including Serb/Croat clubs):

EHF Champions League

Group Stage:

-- RK Bosna Sarajevo: 2003/04, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12 (x7)

Round of 16:

Semifinalists:

-- RK Bosna Sarajevo: 2006/07 (x1)

Also, as of November 2013

 

Yeah and it's good enough to the point where many NT players can play in the league. Hopefully we can get back into CL play soon.

 

So how is this pussy sport coming along? Will we qualify?

 

You're pussy for not reading my long-ass post i made all about qualifying...........................

 

Lol, just joking.

I'll go read them now.

 

Okay, i read the whole thing. It seems we'll have to rely on a lucky draw or we're doomed.

 

this thread should be renamed to 'team handball'

qualifications are far from over

still have to play in Latvia and still have Portugal to play ><

then the playoff round

if we make it that far hopefully we don't get Germany or Germany caliber of a team

 

We beat Estonia and are mathematically qualified to the play-off round.
