Belgium and Argentina will play off for first and second place in the Glasgow Four Nations, while England will face the home nation Scotland, as well as a large and passionate crowd, in the third/fourth play-off.
The matches have thrown up some interesting results, with Argentina thrashing Scotland 5-2 but losing to Belgium, while England will count themselves unlucky not to be playing for first and second spot after a high quality, but ultimately losing, performance against Belgium.
All the sides will have things to be pleased with: Carlos Retegui will be happy that his side have worked hard to overcome slow starts to their matches, while Scotland put together some excellent first-half performances only to fall short in the second half of their matches. Belgium coach Mark Lammers said that, while he was pleased to get his team together after the players had been involved in club hockey through the Euro Hockey League, he was also aware that the players were tired and would be needing a break after the tournament ended.
With the three teams of Argentina, Belgium and England all preparing for the Rabobank Hockey World Cup, and Scotland and England also getting ready for the Commonwealth Games, this tournament was seen by all coaches as a great opportunity to try out players and systems.
