We beat Ireland in a tricky game this morning. We wanted to qualify 4th in our pool but not 3rd or 5th. To do that we had to beat Ireland by at least 3 goals but not score more than 6. We got to 5-1 up and things were going to plan and we turned down a couple of easy opportunities. But then they scored 3 goals in a row which completely wrecked our plan. We ended up winning 7-6 (James scored the winner with 4 seconds on the clock) but we did it the hard way really.
This afternoon we beat USA 8-2, the first game of the second round. Tomorrow morning we play Japan again.
In other news, the women beat Canada this morning 3-1 (I think) and have just beaten Ireland 5-2 or 6-2. Their big game for the day is against France this evening.
Cheers,
- Dean
