Any word who's starting goalie (abby or gerber)?
I predict a 4-1 win for the swiss team, hope the offense finally clicks in! Plüss 2G 1 A, Streit 2 A :yo:

Switzerland 5 - Kazakhstan 3 final.

Go Switzerland!

Gerber is the starter.

4-2 Switzerland

Could anyone watching this game posts some updates ?

I'll say 3 -2 Switzerland.

Pchelyakhov and Fischer scord so far. It is 1-1

GO KAZAKHSTAN!!!

2-1 Switzerland


I really would like to know what would happen, if Germany wins 1-0 against Switzerland. There would be a three way tie in points. Next tiebreaker is goal differential, which would be the same for everybody. After that comes goals scored, Kazakhstan would advance because they have three goals, Switzerland and Germany would have two each.
What would follow then?
A shootout between Germany and Switzerland or would the head-to-head game between those two count?

A 2-1 win would be even worse, all three would be tied with exactly the same numbers (between each other)...

Well, first Germany has to win and that won't be easy ;)

In the situation you describe (1-0 win by Germany), Germany's win over Switzerland wouldn't be used as a tie breaker as it was already used as the first tie breaker. The overall goal difference would be used, then total goal scored, then a penalty shout out.

Another strange things could be a two goal win by Germany. In this case, Germany would be second and advance with no points, while Kazakhstan would be third and advance with two points.
