xwave Kauboji... I watched only first half and I was embarrassed by their play... seriously, something needs to be done soon, or the next generation shift might be a problem. First they should start with the coach. :'D

So we lost, but I expected nothing else from crappy team, so it's hardly a disappointment.

Now I cheer for Poland, and hopefully they'll crush Qatar.
I won't hide that I absolutely despise Qatar and the way they bought an entire national team...they're a disgrace for the sport and I'm sad to see how money can get you anywhere. I have so much more respect for Saudi-Arabia or any other team eliminated in first round as they at least still have their dignity.

Good thing is that there won't be both matches played simultaneously.

Why Qatar? Our Eagles just have to listen to Chopin (Polonaise, Op. 53 would be perfect) for an hour before the match, and that's it. :lol:

The Qatar player scores while he was litereally standing in the goal area (or however this circle is called in English) and the referee allows it. And that was in a phase when Poland 1 or 2 goals behind
He could have even run into the goal and the referee wouldn't mind. :lol: :lol: (isn't there a facepalm smiley or something?)

The result should be invalidated. I'm wondering how much the match costed them. *money, money, money, must be funny, in the rich men's world...*

Well, without referee cheating they would already eliminated in the Round of 16 against Austria and now they're in the final. That's ridicolous

But against France or Spain there referee can't cheat as much as required because they are by far too strong.. that's what I hope

They shouldn't have Serbian referees in the final.

Well, we lost. Of course it's sad, but I expected it. Refs made a few strange decisions, but we also weren't perfect in a some of actions. I don't say that Qatar deserved to win, but they just did it. Our team should just forget about it, fight for bronze in 3rd place play-off and prepare for next year Euro in Poland.

I'm watching a :es: - :fr: game now. Tricolores are playing better and leading 18-14. I hope they won't waste it and qualify for final.

You shouldn't blame it on the refs. I was cheering for Poland throughout the game, but Poland wasn't on the same level as they were against Sweden and Croatia. xshrug Their right back didn't have a good day, the wings were cut. Poland is much better team than Qatar, in fact I believe that even Austria has more quality than Qatar (Qatar is better than say Belarus or Brazil for sure). Though, Qatar played well. They have a really good coach and some players that played in the Qatari league and were given passports to play for their team. Saric used to be always in the shadow of Sterbik in Barcelona, and I don't think he is a really good keeper, but he is good. Markovic used to play for Metalurg Skopje some time ago and he isn't a great player at all, and yet he is in the top3 list of the goalscorers! xshrug Qatar should really thank Rivera for leading the team. I was watching Qatar on the last championship where Macek used to be their coach (he is leading Iran now) and some of those players who play now are playing much better. They know how to foul, don't rush much in the game.. Also Qatar had an easy group, they got Austria in the 1/8-finals. Then they got Germany then and now Poland. Only I think against Austria the refs made a difference in favour of Qatar, but otherwise the teams had a bad day against them and Qatar is in the final now. Yes, that was not a goal that was allowed, but would that make any difference? As much as I cheered for Poland, they seemed kinda demotivated throughout the game and not really there. :(
Don't worry, France will win against them at least with +5.

If Qatar also wins on sunday, handball will be dead for me. I guess it's all up to France now.
