Georgia proved that it maybe doesn’t belong to the circle of the teams that are fighting for the 9th place. In the crossover round, Georgia -was narrowly defeated by Russia and they showed another good performance today.

The Georgians dominated the match against Turkey. The Turks were trailing by two or three goals during the first half. In the last minute of the second half, Turkey scored its third goal (3:5).

France had a fantastic start. In the 16th minute, the French were already 6:0 up. But, they let Slovakia come back. The Slovaks netted four straight goals and trailed 4:6 deep into the third quarter.

The Netherlands opened the Championships with a win (over Romania 9:8). Afterward, the Dutch lost three games in a row, and finally convincingly defeated Malta in the match for the 15th place.
