Tuesday's results
A Division
MEN - Scotland 4 Sweden 5 (again Scotland scored in only 2 of the 10 ends - Sweden scored thrice and there were 5 blank ends) and Norway 7 Scotland 8 (after an extra end)
WOMEN - Turkey 3 Scotland 8
After two extremely tight games, the Scottish Men are hanging in there with 5 wins, the same as Norway. Switzerland have qualified with 7 wins and Sweden are 2nd on 6 wins.
The Scottish Women lie in 2nd place and are virtually guaranteed a last-four place, needing only 1 more win from 3 games. Sweden have already qualified with 6 wins, Scotland and Switzerland have 5 wins and Italy have 4 wins.
B Division
MEN - Israel 3 England 2 (an unusually low score, going against England in the last end) and Slovenia 4 Wales 7 (Wales scored 3 in the first end to take control)
WOMEN - Spain 2 England 8 (England dominated throughout) and England 9 Lithuania 6 (after being level with 1 end to play)
England's Men's team now need to win all their remaining 3 games and depend on Spain, Israel and Hungary losing theirs. Wales can theoretically qualify as well, being only 1 win behind 3rd placed France and Turkey.
The English Women have now won 3 games and are still in with a decent chance of qualifying. Latvia, Norway and Estonia have qualified with 4 teams vying for the 4th spot - Finland, England, Spain and Netherlands.
Wednesday's games
A Division
MEN - Scotland v Switzerland (another vital game but Norway play against Sweden, so they could still be in the top four going into the last game on Thursday no matter what)
WOMEN - Scotland v Czech Republic and Scotland v Switzerland
B Division
MEN - Estonia v England, England v Spain and Lithuania v Wales
WOMEN - Belarus v England and England v Finland
I would say that all the B Division games tomorrow are winnable for the home nations with the most important ones in bold type.
