I'll close the championship by betting on the Czech winning the bronze, because they've got a few advantages on their side. The Czech played a great quarterfinal against Sweden, and also yesterday against Canada where their regular goal wasn't accepted, and that only motivated them more for today. Their players said things like, we don't care about crying, Canada were better, we have to get the bronze for ourselves and our fans. On the other hand, the young Americans say they came to get gold, but that they'll play this match as well. That mindset is the first advantage the Czech have. They're the hosts of the tournament, and they'll have 17,000 eager fans on their side. The Americans fell apart against the Russians yesterday, their body talk was really negative, and today, they'll face a similar team who have great names in their roster, like Jagro, Voraček and Plekanec, and the great goalie Pavelec. The USA have all young players, a few college students and a goalie with no much experience in playing big matches. That means a big advantage for the Czech. These two teams faced each other in the quarterfinal last year with similar lineups, and the Czech celebrated, so we can definitely expect them to win this. USA's team aren't that experienced, the Czech have more quality and experience, and also the feeling of spite for yesterday's referee's mistake. They feel really motivated to get the bronze, unlike the Americans, and they've got a full arena that will cheer Jagra and his company to get the medal they really do deserve to get. They're much bigger favorites for it than the odds would suggest.
