7:35 p.m. : France had a complicated start to the match, particularly in defense, but led by three goals at the break after a much more controlled second part of the period. We take a breath, we rest, we come back to our senses and we come back in ten minutes to finish in style!
29th : 7 meter throw, Nora Mork, you know the rest (20-17)
28th : Reistad hurts us again and gets a 7m throw.
28th: Horacek impeccable at 7m (answers Nora Mork) and France leads 20-16.
28th : Yes yes yes 2min for Norway + 7m jet for France.
27th : Lucie Granier who stumbles on Lunde and misses the ball by +5.
26th: Nocandyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (19-15)
25th: The two posts which save Glauser. SHE’S THE BARAKA!
25th : But yes, Méline Nocandy who obtains a throw of 7m. As a reminder, Nocandy was a guest on the show “Les Croisés tu sais”, a guarantee of quality. It is transformed by Horacek (18-15)
24th : Well, behind we have a goal and a 2min for Coralie Lassource (17-15).
23rd: STILL ESTELLEEEE +3
23rd: Yes, Estelle Nze Minko at the end of the possession, which allows us to keep the lead (16-14).
22nd : Damn, he plays classical music and old techno. WUWUWUWUWU IT’S A POLICE DESENT!
22nd : Yes, well, after that, Reistad sending us an air-to-air missile is not really defensible. Time out France!
21st : The defense is holding up well there, we are solid, we let ourselves be pierced less.
20th: LAURAAAAAAA FLIPPES WHICH PUT US TO +2! (15-13)
19th: Oh well yes Nora Mork, when it’s not a 7m throw, it’s a little more complicated
19th : WE NEED TO STOP THE DJ LAAAAAAAAAA! IT’S A MASSACRE
18th : Oh Lunde’s save after a shot on the wing from Coralie Lassource (13-13)
18th : Another 7m throw scored by Nora Mork… Impressive.
17th : We’ll have to find the DJ from the Herning room. It’s a massacre for the ears.
17th : Well, Orlane Kanor decided to machine gun from long distance and leaves the Blues in front (13-12). Norwegian timeout.
16th : BUT STOP STINE OFTEDAL VOYOONS.
15th: FRANCE WHICH PASSES IN FRONT BY KANOR PLEIN AX (11-10)
15th : Here is Sarah Bouktit in front of the zone. That’s good! (10-10)
14th : Yes, good Oftedal hurts us, we were prepared for it (9-10)
13th: Yes, Orlane Kanor at 9m. And Valentini who then recovers the ball and scores in the empty goal (9-9). THAT’S WHAT’S GOOD !
13th : And Nora Mork who continues her 100% (7-9), despite the change of French goalkeeper.
13th : Well, Foppa sent off two minutes and thrown 7m Norway.
12th: Yes, Pauletta Foppa who gets a 7m throw + two-minute expulsion. That’s good. Transformed by Horacek. We come back to a goal (7-8)
11th : The day Nora Mork misses a 7m throw against France… (6-8)
10th : The Blues try to find Foppa in the middle, but it still doesn’t work. Behind the Norwegian gets a throw of 7m.
9th: Be careful, Bakkerud pierces the French defense and creates the first small gap (5-7)
8th : Oh Valentini’s incredible lob on Lunde. But it goes one way and the other. Norway maintains its one-goal lead (5-6)
7th: We have a little difficulty finding Pauletta Foppa in the middle. But, it goes on the wings, with Alicia Toublanc, who equalizes (5-5)
6th : 7 meter throw for the Norwegians. Nora Mork transforms and Norway takes the lead (4-5)
5th : The big save from Lunde, but the poor recovery benefits the French defense. Still 4-4.
4th : Oh the big performance from Reistad who bypasses the French defense and equalizes (4-4).
4th : Yes, Laura Flippes, long distance!!! (4-3)
3rd : The French, in each engagement, try to go as quickly as possible, to undermine the Norwegian replacement, as in the semi-final.
2nd: Horacek takes over from Valentini (2-1 for the Blues)
1st : Sollberg’s first save on Laura Flippes. Still 0-0.
1st: Yessss, Glauser’s first save, after a first combination for the pivot. That’s us, that’s Laura!
0th : The Norwegians have first possession!
6:58 p.m.: Come on, here we goiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Come on Blues
6:58 p.m. : The French are in white, the Norwegians in blue. Everything is lost my good lady, there is no longer a season.
6:56 p.m. : Imagine, a world title before an Olympic title… No, but just imagine.
6:55 p.m. : By hearing it resonate with Johannes Boe and the Norwegian colony on the men’s biathlon, I can no longer hear the Norwegian anthem.
6:54 p.m.: The beautiful Marseillaise that resonates in Herning!!! Come on Blues, do it!
6:54 p.m. : Two Slovak referees will direct the match.
6:52 p.m. : Both teams enter the floor. Presentation of each player and then, time for the anthems.
6:51 p.m. : In the match for third place, Denmark beat Sweden by a small goal, at home in Herning. Moreover, the room will be largely Norwegian. We announce 8,000 supporters of Nora Mork and company.
6:48 p.m. : France has already beaten Norway in the main round. A superb, close encounter, and I have no doubt that it will be the same this evening. We will have to count on a great Laura Glauser in goal, as in the last two matches.
6:26 p.m. : And we might as well tell you that we hope that the French will do like Justine Braisaz-Boucher today in Switzerland, by tormenting the Norwegian competition (and not do like the Blues, who were crushed by Johannes Boe and company)
6:26 p.m. : We left for this live final of the World Handball Championships, with, we hope, a third world title for the Blues, who will face Norway.
6:25 p.m.: Hello chabalix, that’s it, are we starting to bite our nails?
It’s the big day: we’ll find out from 7 p.m. this Sunday if the French women’s handball team is heading towards a more-than-perfect world tournament. Undefeated since the start of the competition, able to overcome their semi-final against Sweden on Friday evening (37-28), Olivier Krumbholz’s players can win the third world champion title in their history, after 2003 and 2017. Admit that it would be tough, less than eight months before the Paris 2024 Olympics, when we know that this team only finished fourth in the last Euro in 2022.
The shock promises to be immense in the final against Norway, if we are to believe the exciting battle between these two selections a week ago during the group stage. The Blues emerged victorious by nothing (24-23), and we can’t wait to discover this revenge.
>> Join us here from 6:45 p.m., with kick-off scheduled for 7 p.m. in Herning (Denmark).
