troll on tour

Shamelessly stealing the headline from Aftenposten. In a very exciting match, Norway won against Germany with a close 25:24. Gratulasjon!

I won’t comment much on the referees, but it seemed the German and Norwegian trainers were not very amused about them.

Sadly, this match was overshadowed by the injury of Michael Kraus, which according to the TV slow motion looked a lot like a very bad ligament rupture. Best player on German side was the goalkeeper Silvio Heinevetter, on Norwegian side Håvard Tvedten as well as their goalkeeper Steinar Ege.

Germany has to win against Denmark next Tuesday to get to the semifinales now. And with the chance they got now, Norway has to win against Poland to get through as well. Furthermore, with Hungary’s win over Sweden, both, Sweden and Hungary, don’t have a chance to reach the semifinales.

And concerning Norwegian names (and general moderation of the match), the RTL moderator was worse, a lot worse than his counterpart from DSF.
