Scotland 5 Netherlands 3 leaves Scotland with 7 wins and 2 losses with 3 games left and sitting 3rd in table. Unfortunately all hard games. Switzerland (6 and 2 and 4th) at 18.00 tonight. Then Norway (4 and 5 and 7th) at 8.00 and Sweden (9 and 0 and top) tomorrow at 18.00. Swedish one is on BBC iPlayer. 

Top two automatically go to semis with 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th play offs to see with play them. Sweden and Canada (8 and 1) already through. With Germany and Italy both at 6 and 3 it's going to be very tight. Beat Switzerland and Norway will be enough but a big ask.

Wish I'd checked about the £15 for tournament offer as I'm using the iPlayer and Canadian channel TSN for games via Firestick app.

One win should be enough to get in the play-offs.  Norway and USA can both only get to 7 wins (which Scotland already have) Indeed Italy on 6 wins have to play SUI, GER and NOR. Win our matches and we can secure a semi spot or possibly top the table

Thanks. My IT capabilities are limited and would struggle to come up with this.

I actually subscribed to the curling channel for this tournament only - cost £15. 

Checked this out and was a 7 day option for 4.99 Canadian Dollars so took it. Watched Scotland last night and just now. Scotland 5 4 up on Norway after 5 ends.

Goes to extra end and Scotland edge Norway 9 8.

As things stand Scotland (3rd) would play USA (6th) in play off at 8am tomorrow for the right to play Canada in the semi-final. However, if Canada lose to Switzerland (who have just failed to get to play-offs) and Scotland beat Sweden tonight we would be straight into the semi (unlikely)

Watched the Swiss, Germany match and the Swiss had a good chance to win with final stone but just over hit it. Hope the go for it tonight against Canada as a thank you to their fans.

Scotland played well but can’t read too much into it. Sweden gave their skip a rest and the other guys were playing different positions and kinda half arsing it. Think it’ll be a very different game if the teams meet again on Sunday. 
 

USA tomorrow morning skipped by 2018 Olympic gold medalist John Shuster. Mouat is 10-7 up in the head to head so it could go either way but Scotland will be happy to have last stone first end.

 

if Scotland do make the semi finals they’ll play Canada who have looked very good all week. Bruce Mouat trails Brad Gushue 14-9 in the head to head.

Scotland through to semis against Canada after 8 3 win over USA. Its at 15.00 today but no sign of BBC showing on iPlayer. Olympic Channel at Olympics.cpm says they are showing both semis and the final but not sure if free or not.

3pm semi final......nothing on BBC website yet to say whether or not this is on the iplayer. I have subscribed to the Curling Channel so will see it anyway just hope others get the chance on such a horrible day.

3-3 at the break but Scotland have turned the opening hammer around and will carry it into end 6. Canada went 2-0 up in the first end before Scotland equalled it up. Canada then blanked the third but gave up a single steal in 4 after Gushue’s draw slid long. Scotland then did well to hold Gushue to a single in the 5th end.

Beaten 9-4. Game all turned on the 6th end. It’s easy to say from home but there was a wide open hit that would have likely been for 1 or at worst a single steal in that end. Surprised he went for the draw rather than that.
