England are doing their best to keep in the tournament as long as possible by winning 8-4 against Belgium. Their very slim chances of survival comes down to their ability to beat Mexico in a must-win game tomorrow to finish third in their Group. Pakistan can also finish equal with both but England's better draw shot challenge should see them finish ahead. I still can't believe a 50% record will be good enough to beat the third placed teams in the other 4 Groups, but never say never.

Ireland are certain to qualify after their 11-6 win over Luxembourg, including a maximum 6 shots in the 2nd end. They are guaranteed to finish second in their Group behind unbeaten Netherlands.
