Norway are still applying for a place in the quarter-finals of the Handball World Cup after beating Iceland 35-33, but their fate lies in the hands of France and Portugal who face each other on Sunday night in the suburbs of Cairo. .
The team of Sander Sagosen (8 goals) suffered to beat Icelanders as catchy as against France (28-26) and join the latter at the top of the standings with 8 points.
But the continuation of its adventure in Egypt holds little things, because a victory of the Portuguese by less than 7 goals of difference would involve a tie with three of which it would be victim.
If the Lusitanians win by more than 7 goals, France would be eliminated.
On the other hand, if the latter wins or draws, Norway will accompany France in the quarterfinals.
