17th: Another save from Bellahcene who celebrates each parade as if he were world champion!!! And behind, Remili scores the goal 10-9

2nd: Shot blocked for Nedim Remili and behind, Tobias Wagner, former Fenix Toulouse player, makes the 0-2
Note on the French side that Valentin Porte (knee) is spared.
5:57 p.m.: The Austrian anthem after the Marseillaise. They did well to play handball rather than join a choir, our friends from Central Europe
5:56 p.m.: In the other group of the main round, the Danish world champions and Sweden are already qualified for the semi-finals, even before the last day. Denmark is even guaranteed to finish first
5:52 p.m.: If Austria wins its last two matches of the main round, against France then against Iceland, it will advance to the semi-final. We don’t wish it on him, of course.
His record: a silver medal at the 1936 Olympics when handball was played with 11 players, and another at the 1938 Worlds, which did not really herald a bright future. However, the Austrians are undefeated in this Euro with two victories against Romania and Hungary, and three draws, against Croatia, Spain and Germany (Saturday).
The match starts in 15 minutes with the same team as against Iceland to start. In other words, with Samir Bellahcene in goal.
