| Spain has never ever been in any finals in handball what so ever.. BUT, they met Germany in the semi, and Germany is considered very good, but Germany probably thought it would be easy, and therefore they lost. Spain is good, even though they haven't been in the past. Spain is the only team that has taken points against Norway in the championship (they got a tie in the opening match)
Luckily the Norwegian coach (Marit Breivik) is awesome! She's an idol of mine. She always stays cool. It's so fun to see Norway to go half time being behind like 5 goals, and then come out after half time and just run over the opposing team. You just know that Breivik said just the right things in the locker room. She also makes sure they don't take a victory in advance. I think it's gonna be a good match today (final match is today) because Spain has a style of playing that Norway struggles with. Norways number one weapon are counter attacks (dunno what you call it in sports in English, but you get the point) but Spain is very good at running back to defend.
If we win though, you just gotta know it will be because of our goal keeper, we've always had the best goalies.. must be something in the blood, because they are so good it's scary.
