Who do you think will be the favorites for the tournament in Budapest? Hungary? It's a shame only one team will advance... The minimum goal for Italy should be to stay at that`s division, but realistically, we can fight for a top-3, I think.. Advancing in this situation will be very difficult- especially since Hungary is the hosts and the group is such that you can basically win or lose against anyone. By the way, I'm a little surprised that Austria is playing in the Elite? I didn't think Austria was that strong in women hockey, considering they haven't even played at the Olympics recently.
Meanwhile baseball already has and and could add to the tournament. Softball has an opportunity for and . If they can get MLB on board to send its best players, the sport will no doubt be a huge success.
