I obviously went to bed about 20 minutes early, as Scotland scored 5 shots in the following end to lead 9-4, prompting a concession by USA. They then went on to beat Japan by 7-4 in a tight game.
However, as ever with Scotland, they undid all the good work the following day by losing 7-9 to up-and-coming China, after China scored 2 shots in the last end for the win. More expectedly, Scotland lost to Canada by 2-8 in their next game, never being in the lead and losing 4 of the first 5 ends.
Scotland continued their losing streak this morning, being beaten 5-6 by Switzerland in another tight game and again losing 2 shots in the last end. Against Netherlands, things started to look a bit better, as the Scots took command in the middle of the game and eventually won by 9-5. This leaves them way behind with 3 wins out of 7. Canada are still unbeaten on 6 wins, with Switzerland and Sweden on 5 wins and 1 defeat.
Tomorrow Scotland play Sweden and Italy and complete their round-robin games against Germany and Russia on Thursday. Three wins are an absolute must and even then results between the teams above them might conspire against them for a place in the final four.
