Two draws for the Dutch team. Belgium and Spain are by no means weak, but everyone definitely expected more of the reigning world champs. I hope they grow in the tournament, but it looks like there's a genuine chance they go out in groups.

Netherlands will very likely beat Russia. So all they need to reach the semis is for Belgium - Spain not to end in a draw. And even if does end in a draw, Netherlands still has a good chance, because Spain only has a Goal difference of +1. So with a win with a goal difference of two or more against Russia, Netherlands will definitely make it to the next round.

women's hockey is really funny:

 

Germany 13-0 Belarus

England 4-3 Belarus 

England 1-1 Germany

 

Netherlands 14-0 Russia

Spain 1-0 Russia

Spain 1-1 Netherlands 

 

Things are more "consistent" in men's hockey lately, it used to be the other way around few years ago.

:yikes: And Belgium :BEL , finalist two years ago, is out! They lost against Spain and ended third in the poule, behind The Netherlands. After the surprisedraw against :NED  they really thought they closed the gap with the world elite, but four days later they are in the playdown matches at this European Championships.

:NED destroyed :ENG (2016 Olympic Champions) with 8-0 in the semi finals, which means that they have scored 22 goals in a row now without conceiving one. Not bad after the sub-par start of the tournament.
