While Australia beat Canada 18-17 in a thrilling end-to-end match Thursday, the tournament favorite, the United States, coasted to an easy 25-3 win over England.
Australian goalkeeper Greg Larwood was the most valuable player on the field as he continually repelled Canadian shots at goal to hold on to the lead in the tense last quarter. The host found the Americans simply too talented and could not stop them marching into their seventh consecutive final.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
