Venue: Pierre-Mauroy Stadium, Lille Métropole

This second round of the World Handball 2017 seems affordable for the Blues (France) who have flown over the group stage with five wins in as many games. The Icelandic team  is difficult to pin down. Thirteenth of the Euro 2016, not qualified for the last Olympics, they came close to elimination Thursday by finally drawing against Macedonia. These performances are not frightening but France remains on guard. Against them, it is often played with little, recalls Michael Guigou after the victory against Poland.

Received five out of five in chicken, France has, on paper, not much to fear today in the eighth-finals of a team from Iceland which, however, beat only the modest Angola. To believe for all that the Blues are in quarter before even to have played would be a serious error. The traps leading to the top 8 are indeed numerous when going to the phase of knockout games.

While the Experts(France) have just lost Luka Karabatic, the match against Norway is looming. The latter is the main threat to the Blues in their pool which aim to finish in first place. Norway beat France only twice in a World Championship, the last in 1961. The last match between the two teams dates back to the 2016 European Championship: Norway had blocked the road to the Blues (29- 24).

The Nordic country has in its ranks a player bearing the colors of a club of the French championship: Ole Erevik, (Pays d'Aix), recalled Saturday in the scandinavian squad. A second, Sander Sagosen, will arrive next summer at the PSG. However, no French international player has ever played in Norway.France is clearly favorite to finish first in the group.

Handball Match: Japan vs France

Two days after their successful entry in the Handball World Championship-2017 in Bercy (31-16 victory against Brazil), the French team is playing at 17:45 his second match of the competition, against Japan. And it is in Nantes, in Hall XXL that the Experts take their quarters for the continuation of this phase of chickens.

The second step for France will be Japan, today in Nantes. In a game that looks unbalanced given the standing of the opponents, the goals will be numerous and will come from everywhere.

On Wednesday evening in Paris, France - Brazil, opening match of the World Cup, was the occasion to discover a new aspect of the international handball: goals are marked from far away, whereas the guardian supposed to intervene is not at his post or arriving late.

Marking an empty goal is the result of a new rule put in place by the International Federation (IHF) just before the Rio Olympic Games. In the offensive phase, a coach can now release his goalkeeper to six to six (in case of numerical inferiority), or even seven to six.

Since 2011, the team of Japan has no longer participated in a world championship. For the Olympic Games, the last participation dates back to 1988. In short, the team coached by the Spanish Antonio Ortega Perez. By taking the 3rd place of the Asian championship earlier this year, Japan reopened the doors of the World Cup.
