This is the handball where they chuck it in the goals and end up with scores of about 36-32, right? :confused:

Scores can range from 10-9 to 50-45 it depends on team's playing style.

That's the one for me. That would make this either Handball World Cup 5 or 6 (can't remember how many there was before). Druida, having co-hosted one of the previous cups, is still undecided upon whether to put in a hosting bid or not.

It's probably a good idea to go for a small tournament first up. Handball never got more than 16 participant nations, not even in its glory days (around HBWC3)

Oh yeah, and this would be the fifth world cup of handball. The sign-up for the fifth was around, but it never started.
