Our final game of the day was against our friends from Sweden, who were our gracious hosts at last year's Astra-Tech Games in Gothenburg, which has been a golden city to our national team program.

The team played solidly, and defeated the Swedes by a score of 46-33.  The yellow and blue boys took it all in stride and are now focussing on maintaining as high a rank as possible, which they can do if they win their crossover game and their final game at the worlds.  Afterwards, they'll be concentrating their attention towards the 2007 European Championships, which might take place in Finland.

Meanwhile, in the opposite gym, the Americans were looking strong in their win over the host New Zealand team, with an 8-goal margin of victory. The US will be A1 and the Kiwis will be A2. Their opponents in the B pool are yet to be determined, but with our record, we will have one of those critical top-2 pool positions.

Both the grid and the schedule pages have now been updated after today's fourth time slot. The results of the final two games, which will decide the all-important crossover games, will be posted tomorrow here, or later tonight on the official world's web site.

~That is all~
