I'm guessing RUS, ITA and NED all would not exactly have been ideal opponents  

 

It's a shame that Spain just destroyed Canada in two segments of a few minutes (from 3-5 to 7-5 and later when moving up to 10-6)...there was more possible for the Canadians  

 

True we would have been underdogs against all three of those teams, but morale is a factor in sport and Canada is going in with low morale against a team with high morale just to make things harder.

Actually, everything important will be decided tomorrow already. The tournament will be held until Monday, but nobody really cares about what is going to happen after quarterfinals.

6-1 and we are first!

For a moment I thought they were gonna lose on purpose against NZL in order to avoid Spain

But if this was not on purpose, I don't have high hopes for tomorrow 

[heywoodu 16,130]

Also, what I heard from people who watched the game: Italy AGAIN got so much referee help today...it's so f*cking frustrating and because of that I'd almost hope Italy loses in the QF's (after getting so incredibly much help in the past year at least, they could get some bad luck..)  

 

But that's of course not fair to their players...

The refereeing in this sport is terrible, just like in Handball. Fouling and exclusion rules aren't very consistent, the referee can make one team win if he wants to.
