ELIMINATION ROUNDS - DAY TWO!
Today we've got England vs. Brazil and Australia vs. Japan, four teams with very different types of play! Who took the win and will advance to the WORLD CUP Semi-finals?!



ENGLAND vs. BRAZIL

What. A. Match!

Not only did we see one of the lowest scoring match of the tournament (not a bad thing, definitely not a bad thing!), but we also had the most dramatic of scenes when the two seekers, Matt Summerby (England) and Ana Beatriz Carvalho (Brazil) collided head on in the middle of the pitch! Both landed like meteorites into the grass below, but both refused to seek medical attention. There was a mad scramble for their broomsticks and they were up in the air again in moments. Good thing, too, as Rose Knightley managed to get past Brazil's goal blockade, breaking the shut out and unnerving Brazil just long enough for Summerby to catch the snitch and secure the victory.

Other great moments: Captain Wendy Midgen hanging by her ankles to swoop the quaffle out of Felipe Gomez's hands! The look on his face was priceless! Seth Wadcock performed a majestic behind the back bludger hit that knocked two of the Brazilian chasers off their seats. England's pulling out all the stops!

FINAL SCORE:

180 - 20



AUSTRALIA vs. JAPAN

In a match with no European teams, Japan takes the win!

Seeker Baz Courtney looked as if he was lost in the lights of the stadium, unsteady on his broomstick all night for reasons unknown to us. Perhaps too much time out celebrating St. Patrick's? It didn't take long for the seemingly impenetrable defense of Japan to rile up the seeker even more, and their offense took advantage. Australia didn't seem to know which direction they were flying without their captain leading the way, and it took chaser Adelaide Kelly nearly two hours before scoring Australia's first goal. But that would be all the Aussies would get, as Japan took no mercy and racked up as many points as they could before their seeker spotted the snitch.

Japan's coming into the semi-finals after a complete annihilation of Australia. Will their intensity keep them in the running for the cup?

FINAL SCORE:

10 - 430
