The France found
an old acquaintance, Croatia, his
best enemy, during a crucial road game of the semifinals of handball Euro Saturday (6:15 p.m.) to
Krakow (Poland). Between the Blues and
the Balkan selection is perfect equality: four points after the first day
of the main round and a defeat each since the start of the tournament. Because
of this misstep - against Poland for the French,
against Norway for the Croats - their error is now virtually prohibited.
The Rise of "playmaker" the Blues, passed through against
Poland (1/7), arrived just in time before the reunion with Croatia. The duels
between the two teams have become classics over the past twenty years and have
participated in the construction of France as the leading handball nation.
The first golden page in the history of the Blues was written
in a Global final in 1995 against the Croatian selection in Iceland. A year
later, they fall against the Gaza Smajlagic and Cavar in the semifinals of the
Atlanta Games which then marked the death certificate of "Barjots".
In 2005, at the same stage at the World Tunisia, Croatia still stops the Blues
for "der" Jackson Richardson.
