EDIT 19:45 CEST (7:45 PM): Switzerland won against Czech Republic 2 - 1, and now Finland won against Slovakia 4 to 3. Last quarterfinal in half an hour, Sweden against Canada. Winner of that game meets Finland in Saturday's semifinal, other semifinal being Switzerland against USA.
(On Team Finland goalkeeper's shirt you can see the name of my native country Finland in Finnish: Suomi.)
EDIT 22:55 CEST (10:55 PM): What a thriller! Sweden 2 - Canada 2 after full time. Overtime, no goals. Sweden finally won with penalty shots and meets Finland on Saturday, winner to final, loser to bronze game.
