I was close enough.I gotta go out so I can't watch the rest of the game, but I predict a 3-2 win for Sweden providing they stop taking dumb penalties.
First win in like 13 games against our worst teamRussia so inferior
First win in like 13 games against our worst team
in a long time. Good job!
On paper, Canada should win but they haven’t been too impressive, we have our chance.Russia - Canada is gonna be an amazing qf!
Finland will lose to Swiss for sure)Sweden's gonna take it. Russia will lose to Canada for sure.
It’s ok, we either defeat the dragon or vanish in the dark.Thanks, enjoy Canada.
Not really, our team is garbage this year. Pretty sure Russia beats us probably by a decent margin.Russia - Canada is gonna be an amazing qf!
