One win out of two games for England today, as required. First up was a win over Thailand by 17 shots to 0, one of the biggest thrashings the Thais have suffered. Things were looking good in the second game too, being 4-2 up after 4 ends over Czechia, but a late collapse saw them lose 4-9 after 7ends.
These results still leave England in 4th place on 5 wins behind Japan and United States, who have already qualified on 7 wins, and Czechia on 6 wins. Estonia, Finland, Poland and Switzerland are all on 4 wins and any of these teams could snatch 4th place. Finland and Poland would need to win both of their games to squeeze past England. I only hope the drastic loss against the Swiss doesn't condemn them to lose out.
Tomorrow the English team play Spain at noon and Estonia - a possible 4th place decider - at 4.30pm. One win is a must and two wins would guarantee a Semi-final place on Friday.
