No chance that they're beating the USA. 

Oh of course - am all in favour of being optimistic but there's a point when optimism turns to delusion and thinking that GBR will come out as winners of that match is way past that point.

So, it turns out that you can't play softball in the wind and rain! This kind of begs 2 questions: 1.) How did :GBR manage to put together such a decent team and 2.) Why did they choose Ireland as the host for Group A.

 

Only 1 match played today with :AUS beating :TPE 5-0 in a match that included an 8 hour rain delay and as a result, Australia will finish the group stage in 3rd place behind :GBR and :USA.

 

The remaining group matches have been cancelled as they were irrelevant to the final group positions and we move straight on to the playoff matches tomorrow. 

 

:GBR v :USA with the winner booking ticket to next year's finals. The loser to play the winner of second playoff: 

 

:AUS v :TPE

Today also the Group C goes underway in North-East :ITA 

 

other than the usual GameTime paid service, all the games of the Italian team and the whole Final Day of competition will be broadcasted (and streamed) live for free by an obscure Italian Network

 

their website: www.mschannel.tv

 

they also have an app for connected devices, it's named MS Plus and it's available on both App Store (iOS) and Play Store (Android)

 

on the App, the games will be available also ondemand

 

I have no idea if a VPN is needed outside the Italian borders :dunno: :mumble:

:ITA are on fire in group C

 

Yesterday they won 4-2 vs :VEN (and it was easier than the score might suggest)

 

Today, they first destroyed :NZL by a score of 9-0 and then, a few minutes ago, they beat :CAN 6-1 (3rd win vs the North Americans in this Millenium, but 2nd in a row after last week's at the Canada Cup)

So with 2 groups completed, assuming that Italy continue their strong start to the process and secure qualification by right as one of the top 2 in group C, it looks like Group C is the favourite to secure the final wildcard for next year's finals.

 

Assuming Italy and Japan take the top two positions, if Canada finish 3rd, I think they would secure the wildcard.
