In quarterfinals teams which at a preliminary stage played in the fours different in force "And" and "In" competed. Sensations it was not supposed therefore fans needed to enjoy a variety of the hammered balls only.
Alas, but a meeting of Russia and the USA, come to the end with the score 12:2 in favor of owners of tournament, those who came to Stroitel stadium in Dimitrovgrad could see p only.
According to the initial schedule game had to take place p at the Ulyanovsk stadium "Trud", but because of thaw the match should be transferred, as well as the previous duels of Russians. But if meetings of a group stage took place on comfortable and having all necessary technical equipment covered "Volga - the Sport Arena", now rivals were compelled to go to Dimitrovgrad. And there conditions for full television translation did not appear. The federal sports TV channel "TV Match", planning to send live game, could not make it for the objective reasons.
Translation and that not from first minutes of a match, was available only on the Internet in very bad quality.
the Head coach of our national team Sergey Myaus who the day before has modestly celebrated the 57 anniversary, gave the chance to have a rest to leading players of the line of attack Sergey Lomanov Jr. and Evgeny Ivanushkin. Their absence did not affect at all a match course. Igor Larionov opened the account on the seventh minute, after game half an hour Russians conducted already 5:0, shortly before a break hammered the eighth meek ball.
the colleague on role Roman Chernykh replaced it With the second time missing from lack of work of the goalkeeper Denis Rysev. And after all there were times when on a match from the USA Russians exposed the regular goalkeeper on a position of the field player that though somehow to level a huge difference in a class.
Owners of ice sharply reduced attacking rush. They needed 20 minutes to carry out the ninth ball. After that Americans too changed the goalkeeper and soon were the first to score. Rivals already frankly finished a meeting ending.
In other quarterfinals which have passed on "Volga - the Sport Arena", judges too continually fixed a capture of gate. In the morning Kazakhstan citizens crushed Norway - 11:3. Then Finns did not leave chances to the Belarusian team - 17:3. And the forward of Finns Sami Laakkonen issued a double and became the sixth in the history of the World Cups the player who managed to hammer three-digit number of balls on these tournaments.
to Laakkonen will execute 42 years soon. He acted ten years in our Superleague for "Water-transport worker" (Arkhangelsk), "Sharp-sighted" (Krasnogorsk) and Kazan "Dynamo", then home returned. Besides the Finn hundred and more balls in the World Cups were hammered by Russians Sergey Lomanov Jr., Evgeny Ivanushkin, Sergey Obukhov, the Kazakhstan citizen Vyacheslav Bronnikov and Swede Patrick Nilson.
Swedes fairly jeered in game with Latvia - 28:3. The record of present tournament on personal productivity was established by the Scandinavian forward Joaquim Andersson, eight times afflicting players of the Latvian defense. It is interesting that in the first time Anderson managed to show miracles of rate of fire. It made a hat trick in four and a half minutes. On five hammered balls on the bombardier account of Swedes Christopher Edlund and Eric Pettersson.
As all matches of the first round play-off came to the end with p with a huge difference in the account, the International federation of bandy on the future obviously should think over regulations change. Today it was uninteresting.
