Men’s national handball: The qualifying scenarios for the final stages of EURO2024

The men’s national team is just a breath away from historic qualification for the finals of EURO2024. The dates of the last two matches of the qualifying phase.

After the two victories over Belgium on the 3rd and 4th matchday of the qualifying phase, the men’s national team is for the first time in its history with a foot and a half in the final phase of EURO 2024!

Two games remain to complete the qualifiers in all groups that will be played this week.

For Greece, the games against Croatia (April 26, Chalkida) and the Netherlands (April 30, Almere) will be a celebration, because our national team will play stress-free, on the one hand because they meet two world giants of handball, on the other hand because they are in a group that who was an absolute outsider in the draw, fulfilled her duty even better.

The “Blue-Whites” caused a sensation throughout Europe and are at the top of the 5th group with 6 points in 4 games.

Greece will play these two games knowing from the start that even in case of two defeats, only if there are points and monsters in the other groups, they will not qualify for the EURO!

Of course, the “Blue and Whites” will play for victory so that nobody matters and the qualifying case ends mathematically next Wednesday. He has the psychology, the confidence and now the momentum to succeed.

If the national team wins against the mighty Croatia, it will also mathematically secure 2nd place in the group and play for first place in the away game against the Netherlands!

Clearly, 1st or 2nd place in the final stage draw automatically means promotion to the capacity groups.

If the national team ends up level on points with Croatia, they will likely end up 3rd in the group (Croatia will win in Belgium on the last matchday and pass us in the draw), but with a combination of results from 5th Game day itself, Greece will likely qualify and math.

So he goes third

In the event that the national team is defeated by both Croatia and the Netherlands, it remains at 6 points and claims one of the four tickets to be won by the 3rd of the 8 groups.

The special ranking of the 3rd place is formed only with the results between the first three teams of each group, the results with the 4th places of the groups are excluded, in the case of Greece, ie the victories against Belgium do not count.

However, the national team is currently leading the special classification with 3rd place in all groups, with 2 points (vs. Netherlands) and -4 goal difference.

Next are the Faroe Islands with 2 points and -8, in a group (4th), very balanced and open, which from the start was almost certain to give a ticket to the 3rd group.

At the moment no other team ranked 3rd in the groups has managed to get a point or points from the first two in these 4 games.

Furthermore, all teams that finish 3rd and claim their qualification have such large negative goal differences that even with a surprise win in the last two games they are likely to be level on points with Greece.

In short, besides the Faroe Islands (if they beat Ukraine), three other teams should get at least two points and do so as underdogs against the top two teams in the group for Greece to be eliminated from the EURO. whatever logical and dynamic of the countries, it seems almost impossible to happen.

Realistically, Georgia, hosts Switzerland, may be the only team able to pull off a win that would qualify them 3rd in their group.

In the game of the 1st round for the 6th group, Georgia narrowly lost away with 24:23. It’s a young and talented team that has a chance to make it. But even Georgia, down -18, will be behind Greece in the event of a win as they are sure to lose in the last game at home to strong Hungary.

In fact, the most likely scenario is that one or two teams with no points qualify for the EURO simply because they have a better goal difference.

Mylonas announced that he is ending his career at the age of 28

International left midfielder Christos Mylonas announced his decision to retire from action following another serious injury.

Christos Mylonas made the decision to end his sports career when he was just 28 years old.

For our international left winger, it was decided that the men’s national team matches in the EURO 2024 final, which will be played in Germany in January, would be the last of his career.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to realize his dream and take part in a major event with the “Blue and Whites” that he and his teammates had worked for years to make happen.
they come true.

His serious injury (complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture) in the game between ASE Doukas and Diomedes Argos for the handball premiership forced him to an even premature end to his short-lived, great and award-winning career.

Christos Mylonas has played in all minor national teams, while he made his men’s national team debut in June 2014 in the 2015 World Cup play-offs against North Macedonia. He played a total of 54 games and scored 152 goals and is on the list of all-time top scorers.

His speed, his leadership qualities in his first year, his intelligence as well as the quality of his character were elements that made him special and one of the leading Greek handball players of all time.

At the collective level, in his 11 seasons in the handball premiership, Christos Mylonas managed to score 650 goals in 218 games and win the treble (championship, cup, European Cup) and a championship in 2021
in 2020 with AEK, where he is the sixth all-time goalscorer with 477 goals, was named league MVP in 2021, was voted the best left winger in two seasons (2020-2001, 2021-2022), and scored 194 goals in European competitions.

He started his career at Anagennisi Byron (2004-2010), moved on to Doukas (2010-2013), returned to Anagennisi (2013-2015) to help them in the big division, moved to again (2015-2016). Diomedes (2016). -2017) at Doukas, followed by a 5-year stay (2017-2018) at AEK. Last season he played in the 2nd Bundesliga
with the Elbflorence Dresden jersey and this year he returned again to Doukas, who he helped to become a star at the handball premiere.

Christos Mylonas underwent surgery today together with his wife, beach handball world champion Apostolina Dimitriou, to heal his injury.

The entire association, the board, the employees and the press office wish him a speedy recovery and continued success in everything he wants to do in his life.

In particular, the President of the OHE Kostas Gandis stated: “The gap that Christos Mylonas will leave in Greek handball is not just a gap in competition, because he is a charismatic athlete, a star in the national team and in all the clubs he has played for.”

We will miss him above all for the values ​​and ethos with which he led the sport over the years. A child with a diamond character – a role model who never caused problems and was always there for our national teams. It is unfair that Christos will not be with our national team at the EURO, our team’s first participation in a major competition in 19 years.

Unfortunately, there are also bad moments in sport. We are sure he still has a lot to offer the sport and the national team, but we fully respect his decision. As a representative of the entire board of the association and, in my opinion, as an expression of the entire sport, I would like to thank him for what he has offered and wish him all the best
Many successes throughout his life and family happiness with his wife and also our athlete Apostolina Dimitriou. OCHE will honor Christos Mylonas for his great contribution to sport in a special event.”
