I wasn't really expecting such result but China and Korea are weaker than years ago so not impossible for Italy. Some upsets so far.

Jankunas sounds very Lithuanian.

Yes, she has some ancestry. Though I think if she were actually lithuanian her surname would change to a female form.

The dutch girls probably watched the Argentina match and got more motivated to score today... 5-0 to Korea in first quarter.

[LDOG 2,418]

Oops now it's 6-0, all this in 7 shots on goal 

[dcro 10,210]

Looks like Asia became really bad... 7:0, and it's not even a halftime.

Lol korea changed goalkeeper in the first quarter but it made no difference. I found out their keepers have only 6 and 5 international caps respectively  that's an insane choice from their coach, no wonder these girls can't stop any shot.
