still this si good for Slovakia. Second place in group is now realistic. So, you can be in pot 2 for next WL and maybe even better draw for Euro 2018.

 

Great prediction!

We won against Romania 6-5 tonight in Košice and we are now assured to finish second :)

your hockey youngs lost to Spain by a goal at the end of the match and you missed a great opportunity to tie the game in the last seconds :( I watched the last period and Serbians played much better but were unlucky in the offensive

actually for the sport no, players and coaches are against......i hope they will let one replacement for GK at least

 

Well, if it means the Olympic tournament will actually be a good tournament instead of only 8 nations like some sort of demonstration event, I'm all for it.
