10.00 - 9th Place:   The Netherlands (#11) vs. Germany (#7)
11.00 - 7th Place   Sweden (#5) vs. Japan (#9)

Canada and the USA have met before in finals at international competitions, with the Americans winning every time:

July 1990 - World Stoke Mandeville Games - Ailesbury, England
October 1995 - 1st Wheelchair Rugby World Championships - Notwil, Switzerland
August 1996 - Paralympic Games - Atlanta, GA, United States

Tomorrow will decide if history repeats itself, or if the strongly improved Canadians can continue their undefeated streak at these 2002 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.
