We're not getting so much better. Latvian team is varying every year. Just because we had some good games this year, doesn't mean we'll succeed the next one. So the real battle, until the ice hockey is developed here, is for staying in top division. Sweden has always played good, no matter how few stars they have.
Great win for Latvija! Awesome game and fair result!!! Pitty about Engstrom's injury. He's a good player and wish he will be back on feet soon. Karsums played physically against Engstrom but in the limits of rules. Apartly it was also distraction from Engstrom in that epsisode, which led to injury.
Nice story! Especially the part on a plane with you wondering about the outcome of the game. The result is down on earth with you hanging in the air :)
latvia has a long time hockey tradition and is a country of less than 2 million people. they're amazingly good at it considering how small of a country it is.
Are countries with huge populations supposed to be unbeatable in ice hockey according to your logic? Will India and china win against latvia every time in ice hockey? If not then why not?
It was a clean hit. You're supposed to finish your checks and it wasn't really from behind. The way Enstrom fell is what caused an injury. That and the fact that Karsums is built like a truck. He felt bad. He tapped his stick when Enstrom was taken off the ice. Hope Tobi recovers soon. Good player.
Well, Sweden is only missing their 30 or so best players this World Cup. Really only during the Olympics that we ever have the real team on the ice. Anyway, grats Latvia for the penalty point. It's always fun to see surprises.
He didn't really, he braced for impact as he slowed down and lost balance. The thing that was dirty on Karsums side was that he tackled him full force, Karsum is a big guy and probably wheighs about 200+ pounds. The hit didn't really affect the game, but I still think it should have been at least a minor penalty for boarding! A, small compensation for a broken jaw. Best of luck in the tournament Latvija!
es nākošajā rītā pēc spēles nevarēju parunāt nācās iet pie ārsta un veselu mēnesi visādas zāles lietoju mans kakls bija beigts bet bija vērts :) Skaista uzvara :) Mūžīgi mūžos SARAUJ!!
Hey, don't bash on an entire nation because one guy disagrees with you!! Sure every Swede thought we were gonna beat Latvija - Sweden has a good team this year, and after all - we are the reigning Olympic Champions. However, I see it as a positive thing, that some teams (like Latvija) are getting better each year. But I don't think Latvija will go much further than to the Quarter Finals. It's still a step in the right direction! =P
Even with these "mediocre" players their teams are better than Latvian. You still have your best players in NHL, but we don't have those kind of players at all. So it was just fair and square.
No, it wasn't a "clean hit" it was dirty as hell, but I don't think Karsum tried to hurt him like that, (heat of battle moment). Great game by Latvija nontheless, they earned the win! USA will pay for Swedens loss.
It was not a clean hit - a clean hit is shoulder to shoulder without your feet leaving the ice. Clearly Karsums feet left the ice and it was shoulder to back - It should have been a penelty for either: Checking from behind, charging or boarding with an extra 10min personal penalty for "dangerous" play! If the ref seen it from another perspective - it would have been a 5 minute major for charging and a misconduct. Karsums got that VS Austria showing that he is careless!
You have no idea, how often foreigners say that Latvia and Latvians suck. Sometimes we have to let off steam. Not that calling others in bad names is the best way to do it. Well, I apologize in their place then! :)
Who gives a s**t about sponsors...If it wouldnt be swedbank, some other bank would take the sponsorship...Its not about sponsors, its about Players, team play and this year our team improved much...and your team was too shocked and scared from this strange thing, that the team they thought was way too poor comparing to theyre Swedish team gave them hard game, they were not ready for this. Sorry, but this time we won :p
Aj tak shita karteja haljva , tagad visi sacerejusies ka nakosgad vot tagad buusim veel augstaka vieta , nakosgad buusim ziemas olimpiskajas speles kadi 10 un pasaules 8 .
Racism? We're from the same race there, buddy! Some people are cocky some are sympathetic. Some show respect, some make fun of. It's internet. Let's just get along.
R.I.P. Stephan Liv and Karlis Skrastins :(
i realize it is pretty off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released movies online ?
This was a historical moment for Latvia, surely our best achievement this year.
And this year even better!

Varu ielikt. Šis ir izglītojošs video. Nekādas emocijas, lai cilvēki no citām valstīm nesāk gruzīties
For these moments i'm proud
So far? It was one of the best games EVER!
this always brings smile to my face!!!
Great win for Latvija! Awesome game and fair result!!!

Kurš šeit pēc uzvaras pret Kanādu?
That game was really good.
Latvia is so small country, but so big in hockey.
And..YEs - SARAUJ!
Unreal.. congrats for that great win!
Latvia was amaizing in this game. We used all Sweden mistakes against them! Respect to Karsums...
Tas tikai pierāda to, ka Latvija ir spējīga ! ♥
Sarauj!
dude i cant wait for latvia too in vancouver they are a awesome team
Nice story! Especially the part on a plane with you wondering about the outcome of the game. The result is down on earth with you hanging in the air :)
Clean or dirty, the victory is ours, play till the end! next is Austria ! Sarauj!

Look at shots on goals for both teams, buddy. Face it, Sweden was better after all. This was our lucky day. You're still better. Your team is good
It was a clean hit. You're supposed to finish your checks and it wasn't really from behind. The way Enstrom fell is what caused an injury. That and the fact that Karsums is built like a truck. He felt bad. He tapped his stick when Enstrom was taken off the ice. Hope Tobi recovers soon. Good player.
It was a good hit. Karsums is just built like a truck and Enstrom was off balance. I like Tobi and hope he recovers soon.
Well, Sweden is only missing their 30 or so best players this World Cup. Really only during the Olympics that we ever have the real team on the ice.
Anyway, grats Latvia for the penalty point. It's always fun to see surprises.
Don,t misunderstood me. I,m not happy for the injury, but it is sport, many times our players have been injured the same...
Just amazing Victory for Latvia :)
latvia is good at hockey. but Sweden is also good
I am a latvian and I could say that, sweden has a wery good team.........
our team did everything perfect , its nobodys mistake we won you lost, it happens. Go Latvia!!!
latvia what a great hockey team
Urrāā!!!! Mīlu Latviju un mīlu mūsu puišus!!! Vislabākie pasaulē!!! Malači, paldies!!!!:)))
i was there) great perfomance by latvians!
good game latvia, i suppport u :) greeetings from lithuania:D
this match should be a peace of cake for sweden but latvia played hard and tough..
Enström injuries was an accident, but what Karsum did was still a boarding according to rulebook.
Great! We are the best!
perfekta spēle :) very good game both teams... finally latvia beats sweden :p
Thanks, bračka!
Well, well, the king of boarding strikes again. Karsum did another one against Austria. This time he got what he deserved. Second time out!
He didn't really, he braced for impact as he slowed down and lost balance. The thing that was dirty on Karsums side was that he tackled him full force, Karsum is a big guy and probably wheighs about 200+ pounds.
The hit didn't really affect the game, but I still think it should have been at least a minor penalty for boarding! A, small compensation for a broken jaw.
Best of luck in the tournament Latvija!
great game of latvia!!!
the odds of Latvia getting into quarters is high enough! May we beat Russia and other opponents in our way as beutifully as in this game! SARAUJ!!
Vote for Latvia and Finland!!
It's the way we pronounce nouns. Different language, you know. It's what makes us Latvians. lol
Not the best present. But don't take it personally. Once in a while Latvia wants to be a winner, not just a looser. ;)
Es pēc vēsturiskas uzvaras pret Zviedriju 2023.gadā.
🇱🇻 3:1 🇸🇪
Un tagad Latvija iekļūst pusfinālā, pirmo reizi savā vēsturē, kur spēles pret Kanādu
es nākošajā rītā pēc spēles nevarēju parunāt nācās iet pie ārsta un veselu mēnesi visādas zāles lietoju mans kakls bija beigts bet bija vērts :) Skaista uzvara :) Mūžīgi mūžos SARAUJ!!
4:05 just epic hit
it wasnt. endsrom see that karsums is coming and know that will be a contact.
Hey, don't bash on an entire nation because one guy disagrees with you!!

I hawe double happy because today was born my daughter!!!:):):)
Labāk Laviņam. Viņš visvairāk cietis no verbāliem uzbrukumiem.
U should get used to it.. from now on we gonna do it again and again!! :)
Латвия первая привезла правила этапы в Европу, и была родоначальником. В 30х - 40х в Европе.
@wc4life2010 i don't think that but Latvia is geting better..
Vispār brīdī, kad nenoraidīja Karsumu, tiesnesis kļuva par neatminamu mīklu
THIS MESSAGE WAS ADRESSED TO YOU!!!
:) Audzini jaunos latviešus! Ceru, ka dāvāsi Latvijai vēl vismaz divus. Veiksmi! :D
Yea and france now too. That was an epic p0wn with 7:1
Even with these "mediocre" players their teams are better than Latvian. You still have your best players in NHL, but we don't have those kind of players at all. So it was just fair and square.
latvia has been really good now right ?
Yet a fact. You won.
Finland bombarded Latvia last year. We didn't experience an epic fail, due to our goalie
They wrote on internet that 10 was a misinformation.
6:57 these 3 blondes on background are in every Latvia's Hockey match. :D
how the hell did latvia win against one of the best hockey teams? wtf just as suprising as how usa is already out this year
Still boarding. Read the rules and try to understand.
And? That really does not mean that there should be a penalty.
No, it wasn't a "clean hit" it was dirty as hell, but I don't think Karsum tried to hurt him like that, (heat of battle moment).
Great game by Latvija nontheless, they earned the win!
USA will pay for Swedens loss.
I don't know. There are more games to play. So we will see, if the victory over Sweden was just a coincidence.
Viena no labākajām spēlēm!
there are 2 and half milion people in Latvia
It was not a clean hit - a clean hit is shoulder to shoulder without your feet leaving the ice.
Clearly Karsums feet left the ice and it was shoulder to back - It should have been a penelty for either: Checking from behind, charging or boarding with an extra 10min personal penalty for "dangerous" play!
If the ref seen it from another perspective - it would have been a 5 minute major for charging and a misconduct. Karsums got that VS Austria showing that he is careless!
The AUS guy charged Karsums and pwned himself.
Nice trick from Latvija! I'm shaming swedish goaltending -.-
Teicami.
why there should be penalty? it was a simple move with some force added, but swedish guy just choosed wrong position. thats all.
You have no idea, how often foreigners say that Latvia and Latvians suck. Sometimes we have to let off steam. Not that calling others in bad names is the best way to do it. Well, I apologize in their place then! :)
красавцы!
Malači! :))
0,3 lives in UK/Ireland/Norway :D:D
Yep, good game, but Sweden is still much better.
Who gives a s**t about sponsors...If it wouldnt be swedbank, some other bank would take the sponsorship...Its not about sponsors, its about Players, team play and this year our team improved much...and your team was too shocked and scared from this strange thing, that the team they thought was way too poor comparing to theyre Swedish team gave them hard game, they were not ready for this. Sorry, but this time we won :p
Latvia has winned the Sweeden, Svichzerland and I hope we will winn rusia to :D
True
Nedirs, ja tu nezini, kas underdog nozime.
This is just a hockey game.. Why to offend other country hockey players?
I dont think that a 'shitty team' simply beats SWE, SUI and AUS in a row.
ja ir labi bet tgd ir 2011 ir labakas komandas ka zviedrija ta tikai bija spele latvija labi nospeleja bet varetu bis labak
We'll see :)
You'll get your wish now. Latvia is playing Russia in the next stage.
Cool!
To var arī latviski uzrakstīt ;)
Oooh, what a smarty ass!
Centos palikt objektīvs
''So it was just fair and square. ''
yea , exept that you destroyed enström in the middle of the game..:/
Aj tak shita karteja haljva , tagad visi sacerejusies ka nakosgad vot tagad buusim veel augstaka vieta , nakosgad buusim ziemas olimpiskajas speles kadi 10 un pasaules 8 .
pēdējo gadu skaistākais latvijas panākums hokejā! ceram arī sogad uz vēl labākiem rezultātiem.
Racism? We're from the same race there, buddy! Some people are cocky some are sympathetic. Some show respect, some make fun of. It's internet. Let's just get along.
Engstorm got 10 face frakturest. Not even a penallty....
@ReinisChannel HAHA u think latvia will ever win a wc ahah? answear is: no.
