Croatia With No Ideas in End, Balic to Blame

Text

The largest Balkan star, Ivano Balic, decided to confront his enemy Karabatic, reported Le Monde the reason for Croatia’s defeat.

Mario Ćužić-.--.-The French media did not pay too much attention to the World Handball Championship, and only decided to show the final match, because obviously everything before that was not so important. However, when they reported on the finals, it is interesting to note what the main reasons for their victory were.

“Maybe they were left without gold due to Balic”

Of course, they mentioned that the hero and best player of the final was Michael Guigou, who scored ten points, and flawlessly scored all penalties he shot. On the other hand, the anti-hero, the main person to blame for Croatia’s defeat, according to the French media, was Ivano Balic.

“The biggest Balkan star, Ivano Balic, decided to personally confront his enemy Karabatic. From that moment, Croatia started to fall. Maybe they lost the gold because of Balic” writes Le Monde about the final match.

“We dominated this championship, and even in the final we controlled the match the whole time” were the words of the French goalkeeper, which everyone can ask if he was at the same match as everybody else.

However, they did not mention Croatia too much, which is logical, they gave the most room to their gold boys, who besides the Olympic gold, won world gold on the hot Croatian arena.

“There is no secret to why we won, because of the spirit and the talent of our players” said the French coach Claude Onesta, who is delighted that he has a new gold in his collection.

However, congratulations on the win, but Thierry Omeyer could take notice of the coach, and stay on the ground, because he got carried away and said something that is not true.

Mario Ćužić-.--.-Other world media agreed that Croatia could not win because they did not score a single goal for ten minutes, which is a logical solution. They also mentioned Ivano Balic in disbelief, that he is no longer even the shadow of the best player in the world.

Only the Macedonian media mentioned the Danish referees, who wrote that they “killed” Croatia. But they immediately added that despite that, Croatia’s handball players could not ask for anything more with so much lack of imagination in the last 15 minutes of the match.
