Latvia vs Iceland

Iceland is one of the best national handball teams in Europe right now. In last years thay play very well. But in this qualification for european championship 2012, thay have big problems. they are in a group with Germany, Austria and Latvia. At first glance, easy group ... everyone would say that Iceland and Germany are sure participants for the final tournament, but the austrians did not think so. After round 4, Austria have 7 points, Germany 5, Iceland 4 and Latvia 0 points. In this case, Iceland must win the next two games if it wants to be part of the european championship. Match with Latvia should be easy, the first match Iceland won 26:24, which is little surprise, considering the fact that Latvia is an outsider in this group, but Iceland had many problems with it were without several key players, and mostly without their best player G. Sigurdsson. After this thay had two defeats against Austria 28:23 and Germany 39:28, and one win against Germany 36:31, when Sigurdsson back to team and scored 12 goals. For this match Iceland will play with his bast roster, Latvia has no chance to go to the championship, and I think this will be a training match for Iceland, for the last round when thay play against Austria at home, match which will give the direct participient for the european championship. Good Luck !!!
