@MartinII: Thank you, Martin.
I played a little handball as teen but the game has changed a lot since then and has become much faster and harder just as also the technical level has increased considerably. Let me just say that in the sixties and seventies it still was normal that there were only two to six goals scored in a women's handball match but now it is almost always more than 30 and it is not unusual that it is between 40 and 60.
The match we won today was special to us because Roumainia in 2010 beat us in the semifinal and last year they prevented us from qualifying for the Olympic tournament.
The semifinal that we on Friday will play against the Netherlands will also be special - among other things because they have a Danish (female) coach.
