[Jacar91]

[1Ravenrunner]

Water Polo is much more fun to play and watch

[in10forever]

@1Ravenrunner Why the fuck did you have to say that 3 times?

Nobody fucking cares about water polo, and no its not as fun. Not in any way.

[1Ravenrunner]

Water Polo is much more fun to play and watch

[1Ravenrunner]

I think that water polo is better

[kabo1998]

[Zebourrin]

1er titre d'une longue série

french best =)

[DStrothi]

@Zebourrin Karabatic ist klasse

[KloudyBoy]

I really wish they would rename this sport... dont get me wrong it seems like an actually intense game... but where I've grown up no one is referring to this sport when anyone mentions handball... and as soon as I went to university people were actually getting it confused with this one

[starwarstopmotion]

i am really good at this we are doing this at my school

[superuberkulemarkuse]

what a gay song

[bequietandjam]

Iceland... Someone said Iceland is a small nation, but a nation with a big heart. ANd it's true. I've been in Iceland 3 years ago with my girlfriend and this country is just magic. People are so fantastic. Now we love Iceland and we're planing to go there for next holidays. AND Iceland is a great nation of handball. Respect for this country.

Cheers from France

[Poppcorn2468]

@bequietandjam Thank you im from Iceland and i was were sad after that game but in the Euro 2009 i was were happy when We were in the 3th Place :D

[in10forever]

[stafna]

[Kilroytheknifesnob]

@stafna I'd like to try, but I don't know that many guys who suck at real sports.

[arnor17]

@Kilroytheknifesnob lol this sport is not so easy mate...

[MrTheAtli]

@Kilroytheknifesnob are you insane? this sport takes sooo much dedication, concentration, physical skills, quick thinking and precision! it isnt just a throw and catch game

[zorrodu93]

@Gissenddare yes thanks for lovin my country many ppl says iceland is the best team in handball :)

[vitacit]

@Poppcorn2468 iceland is wonderful country ! i spend two beautiful months up there. taking into account the small population, you guys do great in handball, singing (great bands), football is not that bad (i was on two games of fylkir)))))....). i guess you'll even pass this damned crisis easily. good luck to you !

[Poppcorn2468]

@vitacit i know its beutiful and Fylkir is a good team on icelandic football team and singing is not that bad and i love on icelandic song whats named Allir eru að fá sér Singers are Blazroca and Raggi Bjarna iceland the sport iceland is best in then thats Hanball :D

[ostur70]

@Poppcorn2468 Í alvörunni þú hefðir ekki átt að posta þessu retarded commenti. Ég meina það var ekki hægt að skilja hvað þú varst að skrifa, og þú þurftir að minnast þessu ömurlega Ragga Bjarna og Blazroca lag, sem gefur Íslandi vont nafn og skrifa að fylkir sé best(srsly? fylkir?). Ertu 99' model?

[Gissenddare]

@Poppcorn2468 you're welcomed mate and as said by "vitacit" you guys have great bands too, plus i love the country. Iceland is awesome :)

[ndongousman]

bahhhhhhhh !meme pas de suspens ... !!!

[Milkiyih]

awww my heart melted at 7:28

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

Such a fun little game

[lmr9890]

[Cancersk8Ayman]

@lmr9890 Baseball is GAY

[MrPineappleGuy]

@Cancersk8Ayman ur gay...

[TheDarkNobleOne]

@Cancersk8Ayman

This song is gay

[tingyuyan12]

@Cancersk8Ayman jelly? <:3

[Zitrone61]

@Cancersk8Ayman hanball is not gay but baseball isn gay why do you thing baseball is gay?

sry for my bad english :D i am a german boy and i play baseball and handball ;)

[Robinflightt]

yay iceland! :D

[dustykeys]

I think that canada is pretty cool. You know, the whole peace keeping thing. And helping out in wars and stuff is cool too. The only down fall is our only heritage is shitty native american heritage. Just look at the 2010 olympics, the native dancing was cool for like 5 minutes, but I mean come on get some diversity! ...... "that's all I have to say about that." (best movie ever)

[Auronutd]

Also, saying that America is a top contender for every medal is arrogant. Everybody who partakes in the Olympics has the same chance of winning a medal as everybody else. Besides, the Olympics represent a bigger picture- one where a united world can gather to marvel over human accomplishment. Frankly, it doesn't make a difference who wins. So stop this insignificant dispute and watch the game. Kthanksbye.

[Auronutd]

This is ridiculous. Both parties were important contributors to the war efforts. They were allies- you are merely arguing which ally was better. It's a moot point, as it is most likely that each of you will support your own nation. Additionally, there are no victors during times of war, so gtfo.

[dbhrka]

hei

[hockeycaker]

bullios your such a classic example of a stupid ignorant American, I'm Canadian and you should respect sports that other countries play because they are a lot harder than you think you fagget....your exactly why people everywhere hate americans

[in10forever]

france is nr 1. island 2. etc

[davidsudest]

Indeed handball is much more spectcular than American football or the base-ball and dopping is forbidden in handball ah ah ! This sport is not allowed for barbarians aaahahah !

[ktnem2921]

at 1:40 ish, his foot hits the orange before he throws the ball?

[idlebrain2834]

@ktnem2921 no it doesn't, he was jumping when he threw it ;)

[bullios21]

This looks like a p.e game i used to play in middle school haha America would totally dominate at this sport though.

[frankcassata]

You sure about that? You guys have a national team you know. You got 24th place in the World Championship in 2001, and haven't qualified since then... You fail at dominating this sport...

[bullios21]

If we actually cared about this p.e game we would easily win get a bunch of black football and basketball guys and we'd win for sure. But really nobody cares about hand ball. Oh damn this comments gonna piss off all the frenchies and icelanders :) haha

[viktor2008]

who cares about handball hmmm let me see. like hole europe (Including russia)

[berserkur7]

@bullios21 By a similar logic I could argue that since Iceland has the strongest men in the world (google Jón Páll Sigmarsson, Magnús Ver Magnússon, Benedikt Magnússon) they would dominate american football if they really cared about it.

[Gimacol]

@bullios21 The only thing America is good at is swimming, France are EU, World and olympics champas in same year, never been done before

[Night88Hawk]

haha you my friend are an idiot... America is always a great contender for every medal in the olympics... just remember if it wasnt for America half the world would be speaking German

[viktor2008]

I would say if it wasn't for UK couse english comes from UK

[Gimacol]

First things first, why did you bring the war into this? And I personnaly think that the US came in after France and England did the hard stuff and the US just came in and helped finish the job.

But, putting that aside, America Were favorites for swimming, TaF, basketball and maybe soccer, but were they the favorites for cycling? No, team GB were, rowing? No team GB were, gymnastics? No, China were, and I can't say that the USA were great contendors in cycling, rowing or gymnastics!

[Night88Hawk]

Because these are just sports... quit being so pissy because your country hasnt done anything to actually help the world.... haha and explain why the United States put forth more military force than England and France Combined

[Gimacol]

So England hasn't done anything to help the world? If I remember correctly, England were the "first" in America and founded the 13 colonies wern't they? Yes. Who started the industrial revolution? England. When did Amercia come into the 1st world war? 1917, when all the dirty work had been done. If it wasn't for Britain, the world would be a worse place. There would be no modern Amercia, no Modern work. So before saying that Britain havn't done anything towards the world, do your research

[Night88Hawk]

Yes it was quite impressive how England lost a war to country a fifth of its size. How England whined for Americas help in lmost every war ever fought..... before you critisize the United States, realize that Britain would belong to another country if it wasnt for us

[Kartlad90]

Here's another ignorant American =)

What about when Britian ruled America? When you answered to Britain?

Funny how all Americans seem to ignore that.

[Gimacol]

Thanks for backing me :)

[Night88Hawk]

yes i do remember that.... ,and i remember when America with a population in a miniscule amount compared to Britain, kicked their Ass.... just another ignorant Brit

[Kartlad90]

Oh yeah, I remember that. Not.

The Cold War wasn't a war? There is a clue in the name, sunshine.

Go home.

[Night88Hawk]

wow if you dont remember it thats really pathetic.... its a pretty big part of your countrys history.... o wait they lost... your right why remember the bad stuff

[hippydude89]

America would still be the british queens bitch IF france, the second biggest empire at the time wasn't fighting britain at her doorstep and helping you guys out.

ALSO, Russia was the reason the nazis lost, not you pathetic idiots.

The world hates you, and your over estimated opinion of your "importance" just makes everyone laugh.

What a delusional bunch you are.

[Night88Hawk]

yes Russia was the reason, wait they were losing untill we interveined.... but at least they recoverd after the war.... wait they were totally smashed by Ronald Regan... hmmm... yea maybe they won it........so ya maybe the Russia won it.... wait that doesnt make any sens considering we did the most risky missions to secure order in that regions of the world.... also please quit posting on this im tired of random as fagets who are jealous because their country is as shitty as dirt... thank you

[hippydude89]

LOL, eastern europe and the moderate gorbatjov were the reason soviet union disbanded. Ronal Reagen merely plummeted your already retarded christian country to the ground even more with the debt.

My country is shitty? You're the guys with a stupidly low national IQ. You fat fucks. Look at your crappy education system.

God you guys fucking suck, and the fact you think your country is awesome cause all of you are too poor to visit anywhere decent is even funnier.

Fucking moron.

[hippydude89]

And no we were not losing without you guys in world war 2. You were unessicary, all you served was to be our weapon bitch and sped up the process.

[trooperdz]

@night88hawk

where do you get your information man, my little cousins know more about world affairs than you do but they keep their mouth shut when they know they are wrong

[Night88Hawk]

@trooperdz nice of you to join the convorsation even tho it ended 3 weeks ago moron you obviously like penis

[Gimacol]

And what country is that?

Let me think, who wanted help in the cold war? Amercia, and who came to the rescue? France and England (and most of west europe). And name wars (apart from WWI and II) were GB whined for help.

[Night88Hawk]

Considering WWI and WWII were probobly 2 of the most important and biggest wars in history i dont think they should be counted of this conversation....And the Cold War wasnt even a war... Think before you speak... you were obviously to busy playing pokemon when you posted this comment

[Gimacol]

The cold War wasn't a war, no, but if America didn't have the help of the UK and France, would they of been able to send enough food to west berlin? No. Whow had the upper part of west berlin? France, The USA needed help and they got it just as any allied country would get.

[Night88Hawk]

yes the United States were sending food and helping other countries.... didnt see Britain get involved.... yep sounds just like them

[Gimacol]

Actually, most planes went from britain and France to germanay and then to berlin because it was too far to go from America to germany in one go. So yeah, your wrong there

[faticecreamboy]

1.france

[ivarercool]

you shouldnt hold a grudge against the winners. thats not cool no matter what the circumstances.

[viktor2008]

hey róaðu þig við náðum þá silfrinu

[jamesmann321]

the only reason France won is because Henry coaches all their players

[jamesmann321]

Im truly shocked that I didn't see Thierry Henry on the French team here.

Maybe he picked up an injury trying to score for Barca with his hand

[lilflipfreestyleking]

henry could play for this team as well!!!

[hoireix]

hahaha no kidding

[TomasF27]
