Handball European Championship (women)2008

[repunt]

Russia vs. Germany (12:14)22:27

Evgeniy Trefilov head coach of russian team decided just before the match to give a rest to his two best players in the team (Poltrotskaya and Polenova),they didn't shown on the field today!I didn't know this info before i post my bets
That's the reason of this 'heavy' lost for his team this evening,these two players will be fresher for the next match (semifinal against Norway) that's for sure,but Norway!..if he taked todays game more seriously and start this match with full strenght,Russia could faced much weaker opponent in the semis (Spain or Romania),but he choose more difficult path for the title(he knows his job better then me),i wish him luck in the semis!!

Tomorrow on championship:



Match for 5th place_Romania vs. Croatia_no bet for me


1st semifinal_Spain vs. Germany

Germany should take the win here but not so easy as odds suggest,the biggest surprise on this EURO Spain shown great handball till now!Germany is better and better in every next match on the championship and as much more experienced team have a great chance for the final!
I expect Spain to show great resistance tomorrow,tight match to be played and Germany to win in uncertain finish.
Only one meeting btw these two sides till now where Germany easily take the win (30:25)_06.12.2007!
Odds for Germany win seems so poor to me (1.25) and i'm not taking that price in semifinal match_no bet for me!


2nd semifinal_Norway vs. Russia_bet of the day for me

-coming with my thoughts early in the morning(going to work now)

[repunt]

Not so early in the morning because of my fcukin'net connection!

Norway vs. Russia>my bets_Russia straight win@6.5_Russia handicap(+4.5)win1.9

'Final' before the final.These two teams played this summer on the OG final where Norway win,before that on the WC final in France where Russia win and another final on the last EURO in Sweden where Norway was better.Three finals for the last 2 years and now odds like this in semis(thx).
Norway plays fantastic handball,after the draw at the start of this championship they catch the rhythm and now looks unbeatable.They were unbeatable on WC in France too,until they faced "zbornaja"!
Norway played very hard last three games and the players are exhausted of that tempo i think(there is much younger team now,missings of few important players),Russia coming with loss from Germany but i think that russian coach Trefilov intented on Norway in the semis(hi give a rest on two most important players in the team against Germany),this way the pressure on his team is not so big like in the final and the players are well rested.Quality of these two teams is 51-49% for Norway i think and i see no reason why is Norway such a big favourite in this clash.
Everythink could happen here,i'm dying to take that heavy value for Russia straight win with medium stake,and max. stake for the most safer bet of the day i think_russia handicap win.

Romanian girls coming with 4 points in this second round and with great chance for the semis,today against Spain they will try to extend their winning streak.
I must admit that i haven't seen any of Spain matches on this EURO but it's clearly that they are more than a good team who has maked incredible results in the first round drawing with Norway(21:21) and Ukraine (24:24)!
Yesterday was free day for Romanian team,they were relaxing (not training)and they will come on the field today without training(i think they are underestimating todays opponents)and that could be very dangerous!
Spain is without a loss(same as Romania)till now on this championship,i'm preety sure that they will show great resistance today against big favourite and maybe even manage good result once again..

My bet Spain handicap(+5)win@1.9


ps.I think that for a year or so Spain women handball will be at the same level as mens at the moment

My best postscriptum ever is above!!Spain in big final

Last day on the championship..there was one bet that i wanted to post but i was sleeping,Norway vs. Spain in the final_no bet for me!
Norway is clear favourite,should take the win easy,but with that kind of odds(1.15),line for handicap win for Norway is 5,i'm not sure in Norway victory expressed with more than 3 goals,dunno forget that at the start of the championship these two teams played a draw (21:21)!

I missed very nice price today..for Russian win in the match for bronze..
