Croatia – France. For more than a decade now, it is the biggest match in handball world, and today the two teams will meet again. The Cowboys are raising their form throughout the Olympic tournament, and as the last match versus Denmark was close to perfect one, they will need to be even better today to beat the mighty French team.

03.30 Basketball
Croatian basketball team will face Nigeria in the fourth round of the Olympic basketball tournament. This is the first match of the Croatian team at the Olympics so far where they should be considered the favorites for the win.
