Do you have any news about Karolina Kudłacz-Gloc? I know she has a broken jaw. Poland had very bad luck with injuries in recent times 

It's highly possible that she will play tomorrow, but official decision will be after last training which will be tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a very very nervous day. Three key games: Netherlands vs France, Romania vs Denmark and Poland vs Russia. 

At least nobody here is really worried about it. France are favorites against us, but we shouldn't have a problem with the other 2 nations and so still qualify anyway

Yeah, pretty much. Whatever happens tonight, both teams will go through anyway.

In fact Netherlands and France should have no problems. But a victory today means virtually guarantee a place in Rio, while a defeat assigns a pressure to win both two last games.

 

Anyway, Tunisia is quite depleted for this OQT.

What do you mean, depleted? They are missing their top players or they are simply not good?

They have several injury problems. The best player of them, Mouna Chebbah, will not play. And the coach had to call players from 1996/97 to compose the squad.

Interesting  (well not so much for the Netherlands and France, but for me to make a possible bet on Japan  )
