Day 1:
Belarus 27-26 Austria
Belarus-They held the lead the whole way, but, had to play hard as Austria would not go away, they did have leads of 3 goals a few times, so they do need to be better on defense before they face a good Norwegian team
Austria-They were down the whole game, but, never quit as they played hard, but, are now in a position to finish last as they have 2 very tough games in France and Norway
Sweden 24-26 Iceland
Sweden-Bad 1st half hurt them, being down 15-8 at halftime and 21-11 before picking up their defense in the 2nd half, but, they could not capitalize on their scoring chances.
Iceland- They came out fast, took it to Sweden and scored a few late goals win get the win, this was an upset and Iceland showed never take an underdog for granted.
Croatia 32-22 Serbia
Croatia-This is what I expected, they came out fast took it to Serbia and never looked back
Serbia-They could never really get into the game, over matched and over powered by Croatia
France 32-31 Norway
France-They battled back, they did not get the lead until the 5821 mark when Luc Abalo scored for them, they were down by 3 goals a few times and never quit, Adrian DiPanda’s block with no time left on a Norway free shot gave the France a great comeback and a great win.
Norway-Opposite from France, they had a bunch of leads the whole way, but, never could get far enough ahead of a game French squad, the game ended on a Eivind Tangen free shot that was blocked by Adrian DiPanada of France.
