World Cup: Sweden might need finlands help to advance

[vippe]

All things considered, Sweden has their own say in this. They can decide for themself by getting at least one point.

Russia has to win in regular time to pass Sweden though if Sweden would lose.

 

[Tomas W]

Yes 2

Ok, thanks. No empty net Finland!

 

[Snowsii]

Ok, thanks. No empty net Finland!

Or you guys just win your game ;D ( prefer +4 goals win )

 

[PTmbp13]

Seems rediculous. Ot getting to semis with two wins of three. It should not be possible but it might happen

 

[Jussi]

finland can still make it with a big win vs Russia

Not happening with our offense.

 

[Tomas W]

Not happening with our offense.

Key is to score early. Can give a ketchup effect!

 

[Snowsii]

Not happening with our offense.

Most likely not.. But if Rus gets behind, they need to play more riskier. (Depends on swedens game of course )

 

[Ben White]

If either Sweden or NA is aiming for the finals they better win this game cause otherwise they'll face Canada.

The only way Finns could make multiple goals against Russia is if they get frustrated again and stop playing.

Once you discount everyone beating the same punching bag for easy 2 points, it's just three guys beating each other for two spots in the semis.

I knew that Finland is going to win one game in the tournament at least. And that game is against Russia. So no worries Sweden. Let the rivalry begin.

They can't match our passion and will to win and play for this country. If Finland doesn't find the back of the net obviously they'll lose. But Russia is totally beatable.

 

[ViD]

I expect a confident win by team North America.

Russia, in this case, can clinch the first spot if they beat unmotivated Finland with a decent score

If Sweden loses to NA with one goal, how many goals does Russia need to win with against Finland? 2?

2 will tie the goal difference which I think will revert to h2h which Sweden owns against Russia. So I believe Russia would need 3.

Will be interesting to see how the teams play it late with regards to pulling their goalie. Sweden got an extra goal that will help when Finland pulled theirs but if they're down to NA by 1 late they might end up pulling their goalie and giving it back.

Hell, Finland could end up being up 4 against Russia and forced to pull their goalie to try and score another one if Sweden wins today by 3.

There's no possible way to avoid a 3 way tie in a 4 team pool. It's always a scenario when you have a 4 team pool round robin. Everyone beats 1 team and then goes 1-1 against each other. Could happen in the FIFA World Cup just as easily.

Finland did not had a duoble header. Resting day every time. USA and Czech rep also has a resting day a day inbetween

Its really helped those 3 teams so far. It will surely help them in the medal round....oh wait

Yes Russia has to win by 3 if NA wins and its by 1 goal in regulation.

So strange that Sweden wins 2 games and still might not advance. This tournament is weird. Sweden deserves semifinal.
