Day three in Utrecht has brought some must-see games!

Round-robin games are done now and only four teams' hopes remain alive. The teams that still fight for the Tokyo ticket are: Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Tomorrow, Czech Republic will face Great Britain at 16:00, the Netherlands against Italy will start at 19:00.


Italy 5 - France 1

One of the best performances of the French team we've seen in years! The French had really good contacts with the ball and only couldn't keep the Italian bats quiet in the fourth.
