Half way through the World Championships

Last Sunday we had an evening game against Japan. I was unable to see all of it myself but I have understood from the team and Eric, our physio in particular, that the team improved in the defense along the match and only let 8 goals in. Japan have impressed many with their group play and have won easily against all of their opponents, so a strong effort from the Swedish team.
Yesterday was the team resting day with no games and we went to Niagara Falls. For many of us it is the first trip to Canada and going to Niagara Falls was spectacular. Many happy faces in the team as we went back.
The last group game is at 16:30 today against Hong Kong. We are battling to avoid the last place in the group. After the group play, Sweden will play in one of two groups for the 13th to 19th place.
