The intense Latvian games against the loaded up Hungarians began on a high note, with victories against Finland and Austria and a close match against the Brits (which is crucial for keeping their division spot). However, things took a turn for the worse, with three losses of 6-2, 9-0, and 7-3. Latvia's victory secured them the third place in their group. While the Latvians were resting yesterday, the Hungarians were battling against the Americans with a 7-3 loss. This will be a back-to-back game for Hungary, while Latvia will be well-rested and prepared. In addition, Latvia has a stronger overall team. It wouldn't be surprising if the Latvians surprised themselves with an 8-goal game, but the Hungarian offensive left a good impression in this tournament and we cannot underestimate their contribution.
