21.21: Italy could even aspire to a resounding second place if they manage to win against the USA and Sweden lose tonight’s match against Norway
21.20: It is the playoff for Italy which, even in the event of a defeat this night against the United States, cannot be overcome by more than three teams given the direct match between Scotland and Switzerland who follow it at 6 points and one of the two not will move the ranking. Great result of the Italians who will play for third place with the USA
21.18: Italy rises to 7 successes and keeps third place on equal points with the USA
9.15pm: What suffering !!!!! The Azzurri have won a very important victory for access to the play-offs. Soon we will do the math and see if the Azzurri are already certain of access to the quarter-final. At the moment they are third and there are two sessions to go, in the second of which they will face the United States tonight
21.13: SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !!!! THE BREATH OF RETORNAZ IS SUCCESSFUL !!!!!!! The Azzurri win 9-6 and, unless there are nasty surprises, the places on the podium of the World Cup in Las Vegas will be played !!!!
09.09: Retornaz chooses to remove the central guard. Let’s see Ramsfjel’s latest choice
21.08: Norwegian Stone on point after 13 pitches. You can fail. It’s up to Retornaz
21.06: Mosaner’s failure arrives, there are three blue stones and only one Norwegian stone in the house after 10 extra end pitches
21.04: After nine shots the point is Norwegian but Mosaner has the space to fail

20.56: Hand for Italy, the decisive point is needed, like yesterday with the Czech Republic
20.55: Nothing to do! There is still suffering! Norway steals the hand and goes to the extra end. This end played very well by the Scandinavians who put the blues in difficulty from the beginning: 6-6

8.43 pm: Attention because there are two Norwegian stones in point after 7 pitches of the last end
20.37: The Norwegian double point arrives but it doesn’t hurt too much at this point. Now you have to better manage the last end with your hand. The blues are 6-5 ahead
20.34: With the first shot Retornaz, while leaving a Norwegian stone to point frees the house from the other stones, creating the conditions for the Norwegians to be able to get the double point at most
20.31: Two more blue stones in point after ten pitches of the ninth end
20.29: Italy at the point after 8 shots of the penultimate end
20.24: STOLEN HAND STOLEN !!!! Nothing to do for the Norwegians who are unable to remove the blue stone from the center of the house and now Italy is 6-3 ahead with two ends to go!
20.19: After 13 shots, the situation is good for the Azzurri who have a good but different stone in the house and also a solid central guard. let’s see what solution Ramsfjell will look for
20.14: Three blue stones in point after 9 pitches. Mosaner’s first play was excellent
20.10: Italian stone at the point and central guard for the blues. Norwegian stone in the house on the right and guard on the right
20.06: SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !!! The Norwegians’ mistake that leaves an Italian stone at the point and therefore comes the stolen hand of the Azzurri who lead to 5-3!
20.05: Two blue stones at the point when the last pitch of the seventh end is missing
20.03: Bravo Retornaz in his first pitch. There are two blue stones in point. Now the Norwegians will try a not easy rejection

19.10: The blues prefer to take the point, after Ramsfjell had placed the stone in the house covered by the guard: no risky rejection and 2-2
19.04: A blue stone in point after 10 shots of the fourth end but it could go towards the canceled hand

18.25: Norwegian Stone at point with central guard after 5 shots of the second end
