		Welcome. Game starts at 10:00.
		GREAT BRITAIN Players from the Great Britain lost every game on the tournament and they have really hard position in this game to Slovakia. Tema Great Britain is big outsider and it would be big surprise if Brits win relegation match to Slovakia. Quarterfinal wasn´t really good for Brits because the encounter to Finland an after very sympatic performance they lost 2:7. Great Britain matches in the tournament: Great Britain – USA 3:10 Slovakia – Great Britain 7:1 Czech Republic – Great Britain 7:1 Finland – Great Britain 7:2 Czech Republic – Great Britain 6:1
		SLOVAKIA Slovakia wanted to go to semifinal although they didn't play many good games in basic group in World Championship in Pardubice. They lost last match in group A and stayed on the third place. Slovakia played quarterfinal against Sweden and didn't manage to avoid receive many goals in this game. Followed the first relegation game against Germany and after the dramatic match Slovaks were defeated 4:5 after shootouts – this means only one thing If Slovaks lose game to Great Britain they will fall down to Division I but team Slovakia is the big favourite because won first reciprocal game to Great Britain. Slovakia matches in the tournament: Slovakia – Czech Republic 2:5 Slovakia – Great Britain 7:1 USA – Slovakia 6:0 Sweden – Slovakia 12:1 Slovakia – Germany 4:5 af.sh.
