Strange that when it's all too late, Scotland start winning games. They scored 3 shots in the eighth end to beat Finland by 7-3 and then Germany by 7-6 after an extra end. This time the Scots had last stone, which was a successful take-out to win the game.
These results mean that Canada lead with 8 wins out of 9 games. Tied in second place with 6 wins out of 9 are five teams - Denmark, Japan, Norway, Sweden and USA. Next come Finland, Scotland and Switzerland on 4 wins, followed by Russia on 2 wins and Germany and Korea on 1 win.
For Scotland to qualify to play in a tie-breaker on Friday, they need to beat both Denmark and Sweden tomorow - unfortunately, Denmark play Sweden in the final session, which means that one of them will move on to 7 wins - PLUS two of the three following scenarios must take place -
1. both Russia and Finland must beat Japan
2. both Canada and Switzerland must beat Norway
3. both Korea and Germany must beat USA
I'll not even bother to try to work out the odds of that happening. Let's just say it's extremely far-fetched wishful thinking.
