Without any doubt whatsoever - Balic is the greatest genius in the history of handball. I'm not even sure handball is as fun since Balic stopped playing.
I had the pleasure of playing against Balic at the 2005 world championships in Tunisia. It was a incredible experience getting to see him perform his magic right in front of my eyes
I think that was the first time in history of handball that the "home" team was robbed in the finals 2009...I will never forget that match! Shame on you IHF!
@RA Zone oh god, it is an habit now. The Croatians are always robbed every time they lose a game, every time! But when they win one, it is fully deserved right? Lol. It is becoming a meme now, along with all the racist comments from the same people over and over. Very pathetic.
Karabatic era la estrella de la gran selección de Francia, donde por detrás de él tenía un gran equipo con jugadores como Dinart, J. Fernández, T. Omeyer, Luc Abaló, Daniel Narcisse, Guigou y tantos otros. Balic, en ese sentido, no estaba rodeado de tantas estrellas.
Balić and Karabatić both from Croatia....only one plays for his country 🇭🇷🔥❤️🔥...and the other chose another country to represent 🇲🇫...But both are Croats... above all Croatia 🤾🏻🏐🇭🇷🙏🏻✝️🔥❤️🔥
Croatian dad and Serbian mum, and he grew up in France and he is French. He could legitimately play for one of these three countries. His choice and he is amazingly successful.
Balic es un genio, pero Karabatic es el jugador mas completo que he visto jamas. Defiende, ataca, tira del equipo, es muy duro,reparte juego, golea.... Jugador total
Just for the record... Karabatić is also from Croatia... from Trogir... he just decided to play for France... two of the best in the world and both Croatians....🇭🇷🤾🏻🏐🥇🏆❤️🔥
Balic is better passer no doubt about it, amazing talent, but Karabatic is better because the level of offense and defence is never seen before. He can play both. Thats where he is better, end there is no one to compare with in this category. So at the end again, Balic is talented more in a creative way, but the fact that Nikola can be best offensive player, and play best defence in the same game, that puts him above, also Nikola won everything numerous times.
It depends what are you looking for in players...is it medals and MVP awards or something else.. Balić has joke in his game like Ronaldinho in football...and i enyoj when im watching that kind of players..that kind of players are not playing only for him self or team his playenig for as..becouse of that ..RESPECT..also...Balić before he started training handball he traned basket ball at his yonger age
What a great idea to make a documentary about French-Croatian rivalry in French production with French handball player as a host in French language. Objectivity at its finest. P.S. Nikola Karabatic is not the best handball player ever. That’s like you say Gareth Bale is best footballer ever, great player but definitely not the best…
Heureusement que le hand européen est suivi par une majorité croate... Si tout ceux qui jugeaient le niveau des 2 de manière objective tout le monde reconnaîtrait que niko' est bien meilleur et bien plus complet. Balic est un magicien c'est vrai. Un joueur de légende. Mais le meilleur de tous les temps c'est niko y a pas photo
@RA Zone Where did I say in my comment that he was the best in the world please? Go on, show me. Whether you like him or not, Karabatic's achievements are impressive, 3 Olympics, 4 world championships, 3 euros, and 3 times best player. Is it something we're just going to disavow?
Si les deux joueurs de ex Yougoslavie krabatic origine ex Yougoslavie si pas un français comme vous Jackson Richardson et les autres joueurs originaux African
Balic was never a dirty player...
Lol une racaille croate point barre
Yeah yeah
Ivano push handball to next level ,the best special stile of player
Without any doubt whatsoever - Balic is the greatest genius in the history of handball.
I'm not even sure handball is as fun since Balic stopped playing.
yes maybe but for me karabatic even vujovic balic was magic but he mised something complex he is,nt so much titled you know that
Balic was Special, but Karabatic is just so complete
You don't like handball
Ivano Balić always play smart! 🔥💪🇭🇷
😂

Whats your name
@@tomo24 I played for Australia so I got to see him score a lot over me lol
@@kassdabass From the game list you must be Abuhamed Kassem I suppose, scored 2 goals that game against the finalist!
@@HartLotta well done 😂
1:44- Jordan is Balić of basketball
The rivalry of two of the greatest ever, presented by one of the greatest ever.
Balic was the best of all time
NK is the GOAT 👍
Fantastic videos! Please give us more 😀
I think that was the first time in history of handball that the "home" team was robbed in the finals 2009...I will never forget that match! Shame on you IHF!
Or you can just admit that France was better team,Croatia never won European championship
Was it robbed only because Croatia lost?
@RA Zone dont act like half of your national team dosent come from bosnia

@@Misica11000 or you can stop hating because Serbia is trash in all the sports?😂😂
Balic the pele or messi in handball
Ronaldinho**
Only time ever that home team was robbed was this tournament because Croatia is small and poor such a shame for EHF and sport
Balic GOAT
Karabatic era la estrella de la gran selección de Francia, donde por detrás de él tenía un gran equipo con jugadores como Dinart, J. Fernández, T. Omeyer, Luc Abaló, Daniel Narcisse, Guigou y tantos otros. Balic, en ese sentido, no estaba rodeado de tantas estrellas.
i wish i would have been able to see these players in their prime
Nowadays, for atrack to Balic's neck, Karabatic would gain at least 2 minute penalty or even red card.
Legends 😍💓💪
Balic is the best!
Just imagine now that Croatia have now less then 4 mil. cirizens.
Ivano pozz is Sarajeva 🇧🇦🇧🇦❤️❤️
Balić is the greatest, however, both are from Croatia :D One just played for France
Great players
Balić and Karabatić both from Croatia....only one plays for his country 🇭🇷🔥❤️🔥...and the other chose another country to represent 🇲🇫...But both are Croats... above all Croatia 🤾🏻🏐🇭🇷🙏🏻✝️🔥❤️🔥

I can not be objectiv about this because i am from Croatia... yeah Karabatić is GREAT... Richardson WOW....but still Balić is the GOAT for me👍🏻
Song name in the video?
Sensacionales ambos. Gustandome un poco más Balic. Pero creo que D. MEM va tras sus pasos.

Ivano balic is an artiste, cz he Never use his hand to Block deffenders when he attacks, like karabatic,
Balić NO1
Omeyer was the main guy who made France strong not Karabatic
me encantaba el portero de croacia por esa epoca estaba como una cabra se ronpia la cabeza con los postes de la porteria
Karabatic isnt even close. Plus Karabatic ain´t even frenchman....

par contre mon ptit Jackson va falloir penser a articuler sur quelque mots😉😉
They have one thing in common: both are Croatian...

Karabatić is half croat
@@Croat955 but he chose to live in France. That's life.
@@todo_esta_aqui1936 still he has croatian genes
@@Croat955 genes doesn't matter. If you chose to live and fight for another country, it's your choice. This is the same for the goat.
@@todo_esta_aqui1936 yes they matters
Both of them have Dalmatian temperament due to their ancestry🤣
Jackson était un génie sur le terrain mais il est nul derrière un micro !
Serb end croat 😂💪
Both croat. Niko father is croat and mother is serb.

Nikola Rabatic 😂
I pley for his club balič metličić
Both are Croatian by the way..
KarabatiĆ's father is Croatian.
Richardson ne sait pas lire ou quoi ?
Karabatic has more gold medals than Croatia and Denmark combined, two of the best handball nations. He is definitely in the history of the sport.
