WMC: Day 5 Preview

Second to last day of the round robin. Curling bonspiels fly by when there's three draws a day going on and everyone's playing two of them.

This is the USA's day to clinch advancement. They're facing two teams that have been more off than on over the course of the tournament, and should easily be toppings on Fenson's curling pizza. Okay, that analogy didn't quite work. Canada finds itself with an even easier row to hoe today. My big four ain't going undefeated today, as the third draw features the clash of Scotland and Finland in a rematch of one of the Olympic semifinals.

How they'll match up today...

Canada: Bye, Japan, Switzerland
Finland: Denmark, Bye, SCOTLAND
Scotland: Bye, Denmark, FINLAND
USA: Germany, Australia, Bye
