So it’ll be  v.  for bronze (and the Olympic quota), with  v.  for gold (both already qualified through Worlds)

No chance of going to the stadium again tonight. May the best win.

 

Looking back on thursday I can only see Spain win in that form. Netherlands had huge problems in attack, they just couldnt pass the Ball quick enough.

 

For the quotum I think it will be a fierce battle. Hope they both get it eventually through the worlds alongside Hungary.

We have a tougher draw at the World Championships, so I am worried that we will lose it there...

 

We lead Italy 3-1 in after the first period. It is far from over and our girls should know this after some of our previous chokes in matches for Olympic quotas (2016 vs Russia and 2021 vs Netherlands).

Half time

4 - 1

We had some chances to extend the score that we didn't take, but also Italy is wasting a lot of chances to catch up, so I really can't complain so far.

 

16 minutes to go...

Absolutely brilliant from  girls qualifying for the worlds. Probably 3/4 for the quota behind /,  and potentially  but we've at least given ourselves a decent chance at a Paris quota. 

[Makedonas 1,601]

Our choke has begun, we cannot score anymore and Italy will catch up 

[Makedonas 1,601]

We've now gone 13+ minutes without a goal. Deja vu from the Netherlands game at the last Olympic qualifiers...
