For a team ranked 10th, a quarterfinal place was a realistic target, and the team has done better than that. Expecting to finish 4th though

Agree, GB seemed to be a better team than Argentina, it will be difficult but if we can play like the Aus match we can win bronze.

GB is not better than Argentina at all. British girls are strong physically but technically very inferior to our girls. Trust me, I watch these teams all the time. I would even say your girls are not worse than the british in individual technique.

If your team can keep up intensity you have a fair chance. But it's a big if.

We've played with Australia and Argentina women more than any other in the last 2 years. Now it'll be difficult to medal against a team we aren't comfortable playing .
