Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:27 PM Henrik Bahlmann Do we agree that we watch Norwegian television? Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:27 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis "Yes, vi elsker dette lands", the Norwegians sing in their anthem. "Yes, we love this country!" I'm sure they also mean Germany, can not be any different. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:26 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis "The nervousness is on the Norwegian side", I just learned. Sure, they are also playing in front of 15,000 own fans who have already decided to enter the finals. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:26 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Of course that is nonsense. They have just not noticed that Denmark is annexed until Sunday. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:26 PM Henrik Bahlmann Do we have to worry, Malte? Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:25 PM Henrik Bahlmann And Angelaaaaaa .... "Druuuuuux!" Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:25 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis The stadium spokesman just said: "Our Head of State Frank-Walter ..." And the whole hall: "... STEINMEIER!" dpa Germany vs. Norway 1/25/19 7:24 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis The fact that handball is the better football has also been rumored to the Statisik colleagues of Opta, who provide us otherwise with facts about the Bundesliga and Champions League. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:24 PM Henrik Bahlmann In this tweet is so much 2019. Germany vs. Germany. Norway 1/25/19 7:23 PM Henrik Bahlmann In Kiel, by the way, all moves are canceled. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:22 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Where the federal jogi expresses, wants and may not miss the federal Anger of course. As written at the beginning: Germany, some handball country. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:22 PM Henrik Bahlmann And Andreas Wolff is a candidate for the player of the game. If you have Dominik Klein as an expert, you do not need enemies anymore. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:21 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Dominik Klein just reveals that the semi-final is "the most emotional game in every tournament". Well, then we do not have to watch the final on Sunday. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:20 PM Henrik Bahlmann There he grins, the Prokop. dpa Germany vs. Norway 1/25/19 7:20 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis fingers crossed on quite a big Nivea (u). Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:19 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Let's come to some nice news. The support for the German national handball team is enormous. Not only in Germany, but also in Dallas, for example. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:18 PM Henrik Bahlmann Below you see: "Holiday house in Tenerife" is canceled. I am angry and sad at the same time. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:17 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis I feel physical pain. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:17 PM Henrik Bahlmann And the hall sings "choirs". Can not we just lick Schalke against Hertha? Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:16 PM Henrik Bahlmann Our worst expectations were exceeded. Bommes makes today even the hall speaker. The circle closes. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:15 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis And even for advertising you are actually too young. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:14 PM Henrik Bahlmann Advocatus Diaboli. That is too much for me. I only know Advocard. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:13 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis I actually thought I could give Advocatus Diaboli. For in fact I believe in a victory of the Norwegians. And not only because they are too strong (see the preliminary report of colleague Jan Göbel), but because the expectations have reversed. Nobody really expected much from Germany in the pre- and main rounds. To be honest, the semi-final is a positive surprise. But in the semi-final, the DHB team has caught the allegedly weakest opponent, and the whole country suddenly believes that the team of Christian Prokop is the favorite in the game. That is not dangerous. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:10 PM Henrik Bahlmann I'm holding on: In a nerve-wracking game, Norway is narrowly winning. What are you saying, Malte? Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:09 PM Henrik Bahlmann Norway may be underestimated as the supposedly simplest semi-finalist. I do not want to blame anyone in advance, but players like Magnus Jøndal may be facing big problems with the German defense. And we have already tried the Brazil-Germany comparison of the 2014 World Cup. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:08 PM Henrik Bahlmann I think so that the German team will make it to the final. Especially because of the not to be underestimated home advantage. However, we have already clearly discussed unfair hall announcers in the previous live tickers. The closer the game gets, the more I can imagine that Germany will be picked apart in its own hall. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:05 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis I would say that's at least a 2.3 on the upwardly open Mikkel Hansen coolness scale. But let's look at the upcoming game. Already with my prognosis for the first semi-final, I leaned far out the window when I claimed that France would move into the final. Now you can submit, Henrik. What happens in the match between Germany and Norway? Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:02 PM Henrik Bahlmann And because we are so Instagram affine today (if you had read our live ticker from the game Denmark vs. France, you would know what I'm talking about), let's take a look at the German star. In the photo of "Gens" I actually still lacking in my hand. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 7:02 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis For all of you who missed our early ticker for the first semi-final: 1. Be ashamed! 2. reworking! Here you can re-read how Denmark has dissected the reigning World Champion France: Germany vs. Germany. Norway 1/25/19 6:57 PM Henrik Bahlmann "Handball has superseded the football - the semi-final of the DHB pick had better odds than Schalke vs. Hertha" screamers upcoming. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:55 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Today I would like to make a bet with Alexander Bommes, which he loses for sure. Not this time around five euros (which he still owes me anyway), but that he must wear a Denmark jersey at the final in Herning. And I want that only for one reason: Then we would finally have Bommes red and white! Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:52 PM Henrik Bahlmann The facial expression of Alexander Bommes reading the SPIEGEL ONLINE-Liver ticker. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:52 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Speaking of music: Have we already dined enough Mark Forster? His "choirs" can spoil one but also the most beautiful handball evening. And although the humbug is puffed up and down in all the halls, he has dropped exactly one tweet during the entire World Cup. Namely this one here. The connection to his music is clear to me, but what does that have to do with handball? Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:49 PM Henrik Bahlmann It is rumored that the Danes have chosen Oliver Pocher's "Black and White" as the goal anthem for a possible final against Germany. You will be able to follow a losing German team today. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:49 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis As the colleague Oliver Wurm already stated during the main round, the jubilation-hype mood in the country has at least one good: The producers of fan articles from Germany, the Last summer, during the FIFA World Cup, they were left in their pallets and were able to sell their flags. What else should you hang in the wind? dpa Germany vs. Norway 1/25/19 6:48 PM Henrik Bahlmann To buy in the kiosk of your choice. Or you follow this live ticker all evening. Then you even save the money. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:47 PM Henrik Bahlmann Saturday, by the way, in the new SPIEGEL: Malte Müller-Michaelis exposes the public law in a simultaneous interview. Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:46 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Much more hype does not work. Or would you have thought that your kids would call someone "Uwe, can we take a selfie"? dpa Germany vs. Norway 1/25/19 6:44 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis When asked whether the public service broadcasters would also seek the rights for the Handball Bundesliga and the Champions League, those responsible answered by the way: "I'm getting straight a call, I have to get there very quickly, and then away, bye! " Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:43 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis One of the most popular polls of the past ten days that you might have stumbled upon read: "How do you think public broadcasters are reaching the final of handball WM broadcast live only with German participation? " Incidentally, 97 percent of respondents (including Alexander Bommes) answered: "I do not understand the question, of course we play (sic!) In the final, how should we (sic!) Become world champion otherwise Germany!" Germany vs. Germany Norway 1/25/19 6:39 PM Malte Müller-Michaelis Germany, United handball land. An entire nation is suddenly in love with a sport for which one is otherwise only interested in cozy small towns such as Flensburg, Gummersbach, Minden, Melsungen and Magdeburg. Attentive newspaper readers know since at least 111 reasons why handball is much better than football. And none of them are really good. But honestly: before we voluntarily look at Hertha against Schalke, Henrik Bahlmann and me, Malte Müller-Michaelis, accompany you through the second World Cup semi-final between Germany and Norway.
