Today is Quarterfinals day, teams that win qualify for WC (but anyway all 8 teams will likely end up qualifying at the end).

 

 beats  to become the 1st team to qualify for world cup

 

And after that  lost to  

Disappointing result.

 

Luckily, we have already qualified to WC and World League Finals by virtue of being hosts.

Again a draw against a big field hockey country! Italy draw 0-0 against South Korea

Achievement worth mentioning: Italy has qualified for the QF in Brussels and will very likely play a women's world cup after 42 years

Amazing results for our history, tomorrow Italy-Netherlands. I hope that we'll qualify to the final of the WL too, but it's hard.

With Netherlands as rival in QF you need to take 5th place.

They are in the same group, so they can't play in QF. He's talking about the final group game that is tomorrow.

 

Italy IMO will likely finish 3rd in the group, which means their opponent could be Australia, Belgium or New Zealand

Pretty decent result so far for our girls  0-0 against olympic bronze medalist Germany is itself a really nice surprise. if they play he whole tournament like this maybe they can qualify to World Championships

Finished with 0:1 loss. It's a loss, but I think it's a great start for our girls. On Monday we play with England - another tough game, but after what I saw today I think we might fight for some surprise.

After today, the 16 teams that will play the women's world cup have been practically decided. They will be:   

 

The reason it's all but decided is because there is like less than 1% chance for the 5 continental champions to not be among these teams. Unfortunately  did a big effort beating  at their home turf, but said team managed a comeback win against USA today to reach the QFs, leaving Chile out. Dream of a first World Cup for them will have to wait another 4 years.
