Hungary Mens Handball EB Groups: The Germans have to cheer and just one step away from the Olympic qualifiers

Continental gymnastics are an extremely important stage for Olympic qualification. The European Champion will qualify for the Summer, Tokyo Olympics, as well as the two best teams that have not previously qualified for the Olympic quota or qualifiers will be in the qualifying tournament. Hungary can be one step away from this.

After being the strongest continent in last year's World Cup, according to paper form, he will be eligible for two more places in the Olympic qualifier, awarded to the top two teams in this year's European Championship who have not yet qualified for the World Cup. Several teams apply for these two positions, including the Hungarian team. With a secure quota Denmark and France with a qualifying spot, they have moved out of the Eb group, while Norway, Germany, Sweden, Croatia and Spain, who have finished qualifying at last year's World Cup, are in the semi-finals. In order to qualify for the qualifiers, no more than one team could overtake us in the final settlement.

Slovenia, Portugal, Iceland, Austria, Czech Republic and Belarus are our opponents for the qualifying tournament. Five of these six teams would have to be ahead of István Gulyás's federal captain team, and after the second round of the semi-finals, it seems that all he needs is one victory.

Croatia has already made it to the semi-finals of Group I in Vienna, and defending Spain has every chance of doing so. From a Hungarian point of view, it is also important that the Germans do not get out of the Austrian co-host on Monday night and get third place in their group, so that Austria, Belarus and the Czech Republic could be behind us. All of this would mean that there wouldn't be a band from the other branch that doesn't yet have a qualifying start.

That being the case, if Hungary does not advance to Group 3 in Group II, you may be able to play for the Olympics. Mathematically it has not yet been decided that Malmö's midfielder, Norway, will be among the top four, but the silver medal of the last two World Cups has not yet been won. In the last two rounds, you can secure one point against the Icelandic-Slovenian duo. However, even if these two matches fail, it would be inconceivable for Hungary to be third in the group without Norway finishing first, so that Iceland, Portugal, and Slovenia would not be able to win more than one trio. If we do not score a point in the last match requested, then we can of course fall further.

The point, however, is that the Hungarian national team is destined to win one of its remaining two meetings to be present in Stockholm.

The Hungarian band will meet Sweden without a point on Tuesday from 8.30 pm, and Portugal the following day from 4 pm the following day - only 18 hours later. At the previous continental tournament, the silver medal Swedes will no longer be hoping for the semi-finals, but they will certainly be motivated as they play in front of a domestic audience and want to forget last week's scandal of four players drinking alcohol in public. The motivation of the Portuguese is even more obvious, as they still have a good chance of being among the four.

In the semi-finals of Vienna and Malmö, the first two places will qualify for the semi-finals, while the third places will play for the 5th place. 7-12. places are awarded based on the semi-final.

In the semi-finals, scoring first will rank first against each other and then the goal difference, so ours would come out well in a possible Slovenian-Icelandic-Hungarian tie. There is also a chance of a five-tie tie in the stack, in which case six goals against Iceland and nine against Portugal cannot worsen or Norway needs to score two multiple goals to improve the Hungarian team's score by fourteen. But this can only happen with a single, highly unlikely, set of results.

Because of the results against each other, the match against the Portuguese might be the most important of the two matches waiting for the Rolands Mikler. Apart from the aforementioned improbable tiebreaker, it has the most weight in the semi-finals.

Portugal, with two victories, could even outrun Hungary, unlike Sweden, with the proviso that they will not be defeated against one of the

The Portuguese could eventually score in the event of a possible success against Hungary and, thanks to a better result against each other, would overtake István Gulyás's crew. True, this would mean that Slovenia (which gets beaten on Tuesday) with Portugal on Tuesday will lose hope of a top six. Iceland, which now has two points, would gain a victory against Norway on Tuesday and then defeat Sweden in the final round if we score at least six points (one of the remaining two matches), then we cannot overtake us.

That is ...

• If the Hungarian national team wins one of its last two group games, except for the fifth tie, it may not go further than 3rd in the II. group.
• If you win against Portugal, the second place in the group - the semi-finals - will only require Norway to defeat Slovenia in the final round.
• If we win against Sweden, Portugal cannot win our second place against Slovenia, while Slovenia cannot score more than two points in its last two matches.
• If Hungary wins both matches (closes by 8 points), you can only miss the semi-final if Slovenia also wins two (beats Portugal and Norway, thus also closing by 8 points) while Norway defeats Iceland and Slovenia by less than thirteen to score (if Slovenians win by 13 goals or more, Norway's goal difference will be worse than ours on the minitabella). However, with two rather unexpected and unexpected defeats to Norway, the II. our national team can also jump to the top of the group (a score of 8 to 8 against Slovenia would decide).
