Hockey is field hockey, a game of artistry, power, speed, skills etc. Ice Hockey is Ice Hockey with lots of gear and blood.
Spain is almost through. They have the easiest game left against Japan. A win would put them 11 points. That should be good enough. They are the defending European champs. Beat Australia 3-1 and Newzealand 3-1. Drew with Pakistan and argentina(?).
For New Zealand, they must beat Australia to have any chance and pray pakistan loses to Australia. For Australia they must win both against NZ and Pak. For Pakistan they must wait and see who wins between Aus-NZ. Then a draw or a win against Aus would see them through in the semis.
The B group: South Korea is the surprize. If they win against India today and they would be almost there. With India being so weak, England, Holland, Korea and Germany all still have hope of getting into the semis. Germany (host) has the upper hand though.
