It snowed this afternoon in Slagelse but events inside the Antvorskov Hall were too gripping for the weather outside to concern us.
Having picked up four points from today's matches (see earlier reports), and with a healthy goal difference, England can make it into the promotion pool tomorrow. They have one more match to play in Pool B and and that is against the stand-out side in the pool, Lithuania. We believe that England can win this game, which would mean that they would head the table. Even if they lose, England still remain in with a chance unless they let the Lithuanians chip too deeply into their goal difference and/or the Russians go on a goal scoring spree against the Slovak Republic.
In Pool A the situation is similar for Scotland, albeit that they have a thinner goal margin. Scotland play France tomorrow in what could be a titanic battle. The French, who were promoted alongside England in 2010, have looked very sharp. The Danes, who deprived England of promotion back in 2008, have had a difficult tournament, having lost to both Scotland and France. They cannot now escape the relegation pool and will have to hope that their form improves in the last two matches of the tournament.
