Editor’s picks for games of the day
Pool A – Great Britain and USA have found their footing, both head into the final day with 3-3. They’ll face each other first game today, with a playoff spot on the line.
Pool B – Argentina (4-2) vs. Columbia (3-3).
With Canada and New Zealand locked in for playoff spots, the 3rd and 4th place teams, Japan (4-2) and Argentina (4-2) try not to falter. Japan will face Mexico, while Argentina will square off with Columbia.
A win by Argentina puts both Argentina and Japan into the playoffs.
Columbia could take the playoff spot away from Argentina with a win, provided Japan wins as well. If Columbia beat Argentina but Japan lost, there would be a three way tie: Argentina/Columbia/Japan.
