Knock-out Stage Draw => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...d=65844E03-1FBD-4FE1-B472-DD995848C5B6&draw=5 QF1 : Denmark v Ireland QF2 : England v Netherlands QF3 : Scotland v Russia QF4 : France v Germany European powerhouse Denmark is overwhelming favourite to cruise into last four, the other three ties are pretty balance may offering tight matches.
The semifinal will present rematch of 2013 final, DEN v GER, Danish team will take revenge no doubt, without Zwiebler and Schenk retirement looks like it's bleak prospect for German to overcome their European arch rival. Other semifinal clash, England has slight advantage to nail final ticket against Russia team.
It seems the Forum is never interested in discussing these threads If the Chinese aren't playing. Agree Denmark will beat Germany. England Russia should be close. Expect it to go to the final game. Interesting to see England have put Gabby Adcock back with Lauren Smith, despite her now being Heather Olvers partner. XD Adcock's > Sozanov/ Kosetskaya MS Ouseph > Malkov WS Polikarpova > Chapman MD Ivanov/ Sozanov > Ellis/ Langridge WD ????
Ouseph wins an epic 21-15 11-21 21-18 vs Malkov . 1-1 but think Russia will win next 2 games from here
FINALS (02.00pm local time) => DEN v ENG : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...844E03-1FBD-4FE1-B472-DD995848C5B6&d=20150215 Leuven time : http://www.worldtimezone.com/time/wtzresult.php?CiID=12625&forma=Find Time *Possible line-up players : XD : Fischer/Pedersen v Adcock/Adcock MS : Jan O Jorgensen v Rajiv Ouseph WS : Line Kjaersfeldt v Fontaine Mica Chapman MD : Boe/Mogensen or Conrad/Kolding v Ellis/Langridge WD : Pedersen/Juhl v Olver/Smith or Adcock/Smith Both teams were forced to play until last match with narrowly score 3-2 yesterday, DEN is still the fave to retain 2011 title but nothing to lose ENG team may scare and derail their mission.
An anticlimax final as Denmark is too strong, they won over England 3-0, all matches were ended by straight-sets => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...65844E03-1FBD-4FE1-B472-DD995848C5B6&match=37 Congrats to all medalists : Denmark (gold), England (silver) also Germany & Russia as well to capture bronze!
...indeed, but most players will surely want to see how Sashina Vignes-Waran came back from 4 - 15 down in the decider against Karin Schnaase to win the match. Watch from 1.50.09 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZoCjDQM7lI smautf
