Norway is already under pressure on the second matchday of the 2025 World Handball Championship. The reason for this was Game 1 against Brazil, which they lost. It was not a simple defeat, but almost a kind of lèse majesté. Norway were actually clearly favored because they are one of the better, if not the best, teams in the tournament. A defeat at the start can be a real confidence killer. But the cards will be reshuffled against the USA.
And these shuffled cards look very good if you take Norway as an example. A win is a virtual certainty if you look at the sportsbooks' odds. Additionally, there's a certain anger in the belly of the Northern Europeans. They want to show everyone what they're made of and take the fun out of the USA, who are rather small-time in handball, right from the start. If they succeed, then there is no doubt that the USA could well be in for a real thrashing.
