What's the situation after 4th round in terms of overall winner? 3 teams are in contention.

Yes.

 

Possible scenario is a 3 teams tie if Serbia lose to the Netherlands in regulation Time and Croatia beat Israel also in regulation Time. All 3 and can finish on 12 points, so a mini table from their head to head confrontations will be needed

 

CRO-NED 7-0

SRB-CRO 4-1

NED-SRB  let say hypothetically 1-0

 

all 3 teams will have 3 points but Croatia with the best score 8-4 (+4) in front of Serbia 4-2(?) (+2) (if hypothetically Serbia has to lose to NED they will however not have any possibility to overpass the +4 of Croatia) and the Netherlands 1(?)-7 (-6).

 

Anyway has everything in it´s own hands, any point against NED will be enough, they just have to not lose in the 60 minutes of Regulation Time.

 

If beat Serbia in Regulation Time and Croatia for some reason will not beat Israel in Regulation Time, the Dutch will win the tournament thanks to the h2h match result against Serbia.

Good analysis,as always. Thanks!

Well,Netherlands is stronger than Belgium so i expect interesting match with,i dare to say,low number of goals. So,2-1 for any team,at most.

Certainly worth to watch that last matchday tomorrow. Every team has still something to play for. and SRB-NED will be an exciting game I am sure, I am really interested if SRB will try some defensive tactics already from the beginning of the game, just to defend the blue line and bet everything on their quick killing counterattacks or they will just play their very nice offensive hockey they showed throughout the whole tournament since they need only 1 point for the title.

 

Quite funny also the schedulling, SRB-NED will be played before the CRO-ISR, so a real drama can be expected untill the end, NED will hope (in case of RT win) for a help from Israel, and CRO before their match will hope for a big help from NED

It's over. Serbia won first place 

[ChandlerMne 1,041]

Amazing. 

5 easy victories,i would never imagine that.

I expected fight for 1st place but this is a way above all my expectations. 

Great success for Serbian team.

Next year will bring 2A division. First goal should be to avoid a relegation. But this team proved their quality. Who knows,maybe even a fight for a medal wouldnt be impossible.
