Belgian women's team in improving very quickly. Netherlands was a bit better today, but I expect a  -  in the final again. Maybe Belgium shows us then what they are really worth.

They have improved but I think literally every game between these teams in the last 3 years has finished 2-1 or 2-0 so today's match is far from being novelty. 

 

Women's hockey is so stagnant right now that I could win very easily any prediction contest about it. Always the same results and with very similar scores.

A huge gap between the top 4 and the others (and top 3 in reality as Germany beat England 5-0 too)

The top three together with  and  seem to be the main contenders for medals next year judging by the results in last winter's international hockey league.

Yes, though also GB is usually stronger than England. I don't know if it's the welsh players or a better preparation but the trend of the last decade is that they show up at the olympics after doing nothing for the other 3 years and 11 months.

Netherlands and Germany are definitely a cut above the rest of the European teams but don't think there is that much of a difference between Belgium and England but we'll see on Saturday when they are in the 3rd place play-off
