well, to be honest its a surprise that you won only 2-0 I expected a double digit difference, but well, 2-0 is still a win and it still mean 3 points, so everything is still opened. Sure the true final of this tournament should be NED vs ITA match. hard to bet, NED showed great play today, before the tournament I thought ITA will win it more/less easily, but now it should be a really interesting game between you and the dutch girls.

Probabily we'll see the dutch team go in dubles digit...

I don´t think so the level is plus/minus the same, This year you played together in the Division I Group B womens WCh and the match even coudn´t be solved in regular time

So after day 2 in San Sebastian, things are as expected, Netherlands vs Italy will be the "do or die" match tomorrow for the ticket into the 3rd round, the winner of the match will advance for the december round. Spain and Slovenia are already out and tomorrow will play together for 3rd place in the tournament.

Well since Poland defeated Mexico 5-0 just right now, here the situation ahead of the last match KAZ vs GBR

 

If the match will end by a win of KAZ (no matter if in regular time or OT ) or KAZ will lose by only 1 goal (no matter if in regular time or OT), Kazakhstan will qualify

 

If GBR will win the match only in regular time and by at least 2 goals difference, GBR will qualify.
