Well. That was a game. Musa scores with 3 seconds left of the second half of the second set of extra time to win the game for Croatia.

I missed this at the time, but part of the merchandise range at last years Final Four was a European Handball Federation produced "Ein Kinderkrimi". A proper childrens crime novel (150 pages) called Die Handball-Detektive: Alarm in der Arena.
UEFA are behind the curve here.

I don't understand the technicalities or the politics of this move
Approval of departure from ASOBAL
The Board of Directors have approved FC Barcelona no longer being a member of the Association of Spanish Handball Clubs (ASOBAL) as the Club announced on 30 June. The Bar?a handball team will continue to take part in all the Spanish domestic competitions given that the Spanish Handball Federation (RFEBM) approved in their last General Meeting celebrated in June that it is not obligatory to be a member of the ASOBAL in order to take part in the competitions.

Handball has rolling substitutions. If you sub on when there are already the correct number of players on the pitch you'll be given a 2 minute suspension. If you get a third 2 min you get sent off (your team can go up to full strength after the two minutes is up.
So here Marsenic's colleagues spot that he shouldn't come on but can't grab him in time to stop him getting sent off for a faulty sub.

What a buzzer beater from Nederland to beat Poland.

It doesn't come up that often but it isn't an unusual occurrence. Due to a lack of a shot clock it only comeinto play at ends of halves.
There is a low level hum about introducing a shot clock, if you have possession with a couple of minutes left its fairly easy to game to current rules to safely kill time. Everyone recognises that it's an issue but a good number of people don't like the shot clock solution even if they can't offer their own.

Yeah, if referees determine that the team in possession aren't being dynamic enough they can signal "passive play'. After that the team has six passes, then the ball is turned over.
A shot where possession is retained can reset the passive but might not, depending on what happened in the shot.
The team in possession can eat up time by dribbling, forcing a foul which eats up time, things like that.
There was a game a couple of seasons ago where PSG managed to win by 1 goal after killing over two minutes on a possession.
The main issue with a shot clock is that defensive tackles and resetting would eat up the time on the clock where there can't be any attacking. You could get around it by stopping the clock but people have seen the NBA and they don't like it. Handball teams have three timeouts per game, no more than two per half and only one in the last five minutes. They can only be called when you have possession.

I wish there was an english language history of Handball. When you look at the early Indoor world and european champoinships the final scores were much lower. And then you have the fact that it was initially an outdoor game with the indoor version an off season spin off.
The game is a bit wary of major rule changes after the substitution rules were changed a few years ago. The old rules were that you had to have someone in a goalkeepers jersey on the pitch at all times. So teams would occasionally put an out field player on the pitch in a GK shirt with a hole for their number to show through. There is a massive benefit to being a player up in attack. But, this mean that if you needed your keeper to come on quickly that player in the jersey had to be the one to sub off.
The new rule changed so that anyone could sub off for a keeper. No more messing about with bibs/jerseys and much easier to get a keeper on in a rush as the nearest player to the bench can dash off rather than a specific one. But it's not entirely worked, it's not made the game more dynamic. If you're defending with 6 against 7 then there is only one formation that's worth using (I can't remember what it is, it's either 6-0 or 5-1) so there is less tactical variety and there's only so much excitement from seeing teams score on an empty net after a turnover.

I don't think I've ever seen an indoor running track around a pitch before.

It seems really hit and miss as to which groups of fans are going to games. There isn't a legal way to watch them in the UK Viaplay seems to be the UK rights holders for £15 per month.
