Well, I don't know about the whole team but Wislander (our second most important player and voted the best ever handballer) and one of our goalkeepers (our goalies usually plays half the match each) were ill, or might still be.
The same thing happened at another tournament a few years ago. Most of the players were ill but somehow they got over it and went on to win the tournament...
I can't see that happening this year. I'm not a great handball fan but it's obvious that our team is lacking confidence. We lost, lost, lost and lost again in the warm up matches (maybe to Iceland?).
We might still turn things around but for us to have a decent chance of reaching the semi-finals we cannot afford to lose against the Danes.
