Find here all of our live #HANDBALL
11:08 p.m. : Let’s recall the main information of this Sunday:
• The French men’s team lost in the World Cup final against Denmark (34-29), its great rival, missing the opportunity to win a seventh title.
The examination of the pension reform project begins tomorrow in committee. The postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 is not “non-negotiable”assures Elisabeth Borne at franceinfo. Tuesday, the SNCF and the RATP anticipate very low traffic for the mobilization day.
• The tension does not fall in Israel and Palestine. This morning a Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli security guards near a settlement in the occupied West Bank. Emmanuel Macron called not to “feeding the spiral of violence” during an interview with Binyamin Netanyahu.
La France insoumise wins a seat in the Assembly, and the National Rally loses one, after three partial legislative elections.
10:41 p.m. : For consolation, remember that this silver medal for France represents its best result in a World Cup since its title in 2017. Next deadlines for the Blues: the Euro, in January 2024 in Germany, but especially the Olympic Games in Paris, the following summer.
10:32 p.m. : No, but beyond the defeat, the fact of giving up 40 seconds from the end without going for a last goal for honor makes my hair stand on end!
10:32 p.m. : Nothing to say the Danes were stronger in all areas. Congratulations to the French for their silver medal
10:32 p.m. : 😢😢 sad. Thanks to our players they fought well. Nice final. The Danes won this bravo final. Reaching the final is already glorious for our French ❤️👏👏👏
10:32 p.m. : Handball: nothing to say the Danes deserve victory. Congratulations to them and to our French who have not deserved 💪👍
10:33 p.m. : The Blues lost a match in which they came in very badly, and which Denmark mastered from start to finish. The Danes take revenge for their defeat in the final of the last Olympic tournament. This is their third consecutive world title, unheard of.

10:26 p.m. : Disappointment for France, which lost in the World Cup final against Denmark (34-29).
10:23 p.m. : Always three points difference with two minutes remaining, and every French hope is extinguished by a Danish shot. The doorman of Denmark has just stopped a penalty, it looks bad for the Blues (32-29).
10:21 p.m. : I don’t have statistics on the two goalkeepers of the Blues this evening (if purists know where to find them, I’m interested), but I can tell you that the Danes display 76% shooting efficiencyagainst 69% for the French, which no doubt partly reflects the level of the porters on both sides.
10:19 p.m. : Catastrophic – every shot is a goal… Do you have the stats of our goalkeepers??
10:19 p.m. : There are six minutes to play in the World Cup final, and Denmark have taken a small mattress in the score, leading 31 to 27 against France. The task looks complicated to win this seventh title.
10:09 p.m. : Unpleasant meeting to follow because of the screams of the stadium announcer and the background music, we barely hear our commentators!
10:09 p.m. : But is it a world final or a disco?? The music is unbearable!!
10:08 p.m. : Denmark continues to protect its slight advantage in the World Cup final (23-24), in particular thanks to goalkeeper Landin, imperial against the French attackers. Hard blow for the Blues: Valentin Porte seems to have injured his ankle and limps out. All in a very musical atmosphere in Stockholm, which does not please all the commentators – is it the tension in the face of this close match?
9:52 p.m. : This final in any case keeps its promises for an opposition between France and Denmark, the best teams in the world for more than 10 years. Our Sports Writing reminds you of seven legendary matches between the two nationswith analyzes and memories of former Blues player Jérôme Fernandez.
9:50 p.m. : We breathe a little better! Go Blues!
9:50 p.m. : The Blues started the match in diesel mode, were mistreated. It reminds me of the match against Germany, where the Blues were behind before winning.
9:50 p.m. : The difference is made on the guards, on the effectiveness of the backs…. And on wingers who stay in their posts!!!! No departure of wingers on the opposite side and yet so many holes at 6m in the Danish Defense!
9:53 p.m. : The second period will begin in Stockholm, where France is narrowly led by Denmark (15-16) after an unbreathable first period of tension.

9:34 p.m. : The guardian of Denmark is the wall of the Baltic.
9:34 p.m. : Until then perhaps the worst match of the French team that I have seen in all time…
9:34 p.m. : France wakes up! The Blues come back to a goal from Denmark (14-15) in a game that is increasingly closed defensively. So much the better, because we felt you were not very optimistic in the comments.
9:21 p.m. : Denmark continues to master the start of this World Cup final against France, and leads 13-10 after 18 minutes. The French coach made a strong choice a few minutes ago, replacing his goalkeeper Vincent Gérard with his lining Rémi Desbonnet.
9:09 p.m. : Time death requested by France at 6-2. “We breathe”, coach Guillaume Gilles asks his players. Good news, however: Nikola Karabatic, uncertain because of a foot injury, is on the field for his last World Cup final.
9:06 p.m. : It must be said, it does not start very well for France, who had to wait almost five minutes to manage to deceive the Danish goalkeeper. Since then, goals have rained down on both sides: 5-2 for Denmark.
9:04 p.m. : Our sports editorial staff took stock on the three keys to the match : contain the Danish offensive armada; deceive the goalkeeper of the reds and whites who is one of the best in the world; and do with the many injuries that constrain France’s choices.
9:01 p.m. : France-Denmark has kicked off! The Blues are aiming for a seventh world title.
8:58 p.m. : This same room saw earlier the defeat of Sweden against Spain (36-39) in the match for third place. It is the host country that France had beaten in the semi-finals.
8:57 p.m. : The players of France and Denmark enter the room in Stockholm where they will compete for the world title. It’s an absolute shock on the scale of their sport: the Blues are the most successful team with six World Cup victories, the last in 2017, and are the reigning Olympic champions; Opposite, Denmark won the last two World Cups.
8:15 p.m. : Will Nikola Karabatic be able to play in the World Handball final tonight? The 38-year-old star is on the Blues match sheet. Injured in the foot, he had missed two games in the group stage, had left because of new pain in the quarters, and had not played in the semi-final against Sweden. The absence of Thibaud Briet, injured in the right hand, is however confirmed.
8:18 p.m. : It’s 8 p.m., let’s take stock of this Sunday’s news:
• SNCF and RATP foresee very disrupted traffic Tuesday, during the day of strike and demonstrations against the pension reform project.
Elisabeth Borne says to franceinfo that the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 is not “non-negotiable”, nor the acceleration of the extension of the contribution period. She “should not come forward”, believes Marine Le Penwhile Fabien Roussel denounces a “provocation”.
• A Palestinian was killed by Israeli security guards near a settlement in the occupied West Bank this morning. The Israeli army claims that the young man killed was carrying a pistol.
• The French men’s handball team will try to win their seventh world title, at 9 p.m., against Denmark, its historical rival. We explain to you the keys to this gameto be continued in our live.
7:05 p.m. : Good evening @Mumu. The World Cup final between France and Denmark, at 9 p.m., is broadcast by TF1. But I can only recommend that you follow the meeting in this live!
7:05 p.m. : Hello FI, telling us that the handball blues are playing their final tonight is good, telling us if and how it is broadcast would be better!
