8:30pm for me, one for the record books, a City match on at a reasonable time.

What are the chances of there being a decent stream? The Junior World Handball Championships are being played in the street next to me at the moment, and I fancy popping along to France-Egypt or Netherlands-Sweden today, both of which will clash with City.

Yeah, I'm a handball fan. 'Junior' is the official name for Under-21 in h-ball lingo...

'Youth' is Under-19, which is confusing, as I'd personally have categorised Youth as higher than Junior.

Australia withdrew from the tournament, due to being the international whipping boys of the sport.

I always feel this kind of sport is very European and not very British.
Handball is a very alien sport to me why not just either play Basketball or play footy why combine the two?


Anyways this match.

Handball is a great spectator sport. Goals galore, lots of nerve, and very physical. I love watching the WC and Olympics.

Agreed. It's also good on the telly - I'd say I watch it more than rugby, even when in Britain, these days.

LAHAD - it's more like field hockey without sticks, or a cross between rugby and basketball, imho.

Pitch is ridiculous, unplayable. I wouldn't want city to play on that, due to risk of injury. It's bucketing down. Looks like the Tottenham v Sunderland will be delayed

Match delayed by 30 mins to see if the rain eases, if they do kick off in 30, the match will only be 40 mins each way.
