Denmark is ready for the semi-finals of the Handball World Cup after a 40-24 victory against Hungary in Tele2 Arena, Stockholm.
But where the semi-final will be played, the Danes do not yet know, something that was already criticized before the match.
- It's really not very fun.
Neither for the Danish fans nor for the national team, which risks not getting the support it deserves, DR's handball expert Camilla Andersen told the television channel.
- It is embarrassing that you favor the host nation so much.
"Assuming that we will travel"
Danish star goalkeeper Niklas Landin says this about the system:
- I think it's a bit strange that we are standing here now and don't know if we should stay or travel to Poland, but we assume that we will travel tomorrow, he says after the victory against Hungary.
Do you think that the International Handball Federation should change this in the future?
- Yes, at least if you have two host countries like this year.
One semi-final will be played in Stockholm and the other in Gdansk, Poland.
The late announcements are due to the fact that Sweden, as the host country, is the only country that is guaranteed to play the semi-finals in Stockholm.
Should Sweden, on the other hand, go out, a decision is only made during the evening about which semifinal will be played in which city.
