In really we have the lowest ranking of the group :p 

 

Yeah but hockey rankings are pretty useless to determine current form. I remember we played Italy in World League last year (Olympic qualifiers) and your team was decent.

Well, we're approaching the end of world league round 2 and today we'll have the last qualified teams from men's tournament 3 (very likely :CAN & :JPN ).

 

Today also starts the last women's tournament for this round in Vancouver, Canada. Possibly the closest one too: :IND:CAN:CHI:BLR or even :URU have potential to qualify here, but there are only two places available for the next round (except for :IND who could finish 3rd and still qualify for the next round due to ranking). Really, really close level between these teams.

Men's World league semifinals final distribution:

 

Tournament 1: :ARG:NED:IND:ENG:PAK:KOR:CAN:MAS:CHN:SCO

 

Tournament 2: :AUS:GER:BEL:NZL:ESP:RSA:IRL:FRA:JPN:EGY  

 

In theory, top 8 from each tournament should qualify for the world cup. Which means, the last 2 will miss out in both.

I want Chile (W) to qualify for world cup but unfortunately they didn't get a good group. However, unlike previous rounds there aren't shoot-outs to break ties in pool stage games, so we may be able to help them by scoring a few extra goals past South Africa or India ... :jeje:

Great group for :POL women - :ENG and :GER are too good, but with :JPN and :IRL we should fight for places 3-4. And I think that even 8th place will be enough to qualify for World Champs in London (I suppose all continental champions and host, England, will take place, that would give them quota from World League).

Today is Quarterfinals day, teams that win qualify for WC (but anyway all 8 teams will likely end up qualifying at the end).

 

:ARG beats :PAK to become the 1st team to qualify for world cup:clap:

 

And after that :IND lost to :MAS :yikes:
