Looks like Spain will face France in the first game of the quarter-finals on Thursday. Time is not yet set, but expect it to start in mid-morning Portland time.
Winner goes to the semis and gets a spot in the 2010 World Championships. Loser can finish no better than 5th and will have to win the next game to lock up a 2010 Worlds spot.
