The last day of pool play at the BDO Hockey World Cup Qualifier in Quilmes saw the Czech Republic defeat Chile, the USA forcing Belgium to a draw, and Argentina securing their place in the final with an easy win over Ireland.

Irelands chances of reaching the World Cup in New Delhi in March 2010 were dashed this afternoon after they were defeated 4-0 by Argentina in Quilmes, Buenos Aires. However the score-line does not reflect a game in which they played hard and never gave up.

USA 3 Belgium 3

While the Americans may not be finding themselves in the championship game on Sunday, Saturday’s match with Belgium was a wonderfully well-rounded game for Team USA.  With their most complete effort of the tournament so far, the Americans drew with a very strong Belgian team 3-3 in the final match of pool play in the BDO Men’s World Cup Qualifying tournament.
