On Monday Men's World Championships in the Division B will start.

Both Divisions A and B will play in .

 

2019 tournaments are record for the number of participating teams.

This year there are 20 nations in total in both divisions.  

Unfortunately in 2019  will not participate. But ,  and  are back! And more of that  and  are going to play first time in the history of Men's Bandy World Championsips! 

 

For the news about Great Britain and Switzerland there is a story about 1913 European Bandy Championships, which was played in Davos and England won it. But according to this it looks like 1913 Eurobandy  is just a fake and the tournament was never held.

Group A: , , , , , .

Group B: , , , , , .

Great Britain won their first ever game in the World Championships vs. Latvia 5:0.
Switzerland lost its first ever game 1:4 to Czech Republic.

Somalia scored first time at the WCHs since 2017. They couldn't score during 8 games. But anyway Slovakia won 8:1.

The big question is whether it was bandy or ice hockey they were playing.

Great Britain is really strong and won its first 3 games with the score 30:0 in total.
And they have big chances to go to the semis from Group B with Japan.

Switzerland lost  3 games. But in the game vs. Ukraine the score was only 0:2. Except Swiss in Group A all teams still have chances to go to the semis.

, ,  qualified to the tomorrow's semis and  have very big chances to be in the play off too.

 

Slovakia is the first team which scored in the game vs. Great Britain but it didn't help. Japan still have 0 in its "goal against" but they score much less.

How many goals do you think Russia or Sweden would score against Estonia, Great Britain or Japan? More than 30?

In the 90 minutes game more than 30 - it can be, but big teams don't always have enough motivation to score so much. I'd say 20-25.

Sometimes 30 can be when small team try to score as many as they can vs. big and don't care too much how many they missed.

Tomorrow sensation final Estonia vs. Great Britain.

 9:3 

 

Next year Estonia first time will play with the best . The team still never played at the World Championships versus one of the five nations (RUS, SWE, FIN, KAZ, NOR) which was in top-3 at the Worlds at least once.
Great Britain played perfect and won all their games during its first World Championships before the final.

Switzerland did their first win at the World Championships vs. Somalia 9:0!
The story behind Somalia is really good. But the results... Somalia played at 6 World championships and lost every game. Only twice they scored more than one goal and one time they lost 0:2. Most times Somalia can't score and misses a lot.
