The year was 2006.

All six teams in Pool A of World Cup Hockey play each other exactly
once. Each win earns a team three points, a draw earns one point and a loss earns zero
points. The two teams with the highest points qualify for the semifinals. In case of a tie,
the team with the highest goal difference (goals for–goals against) qualifies.

In the opening match, Spain lost to Germany. After the second round (after each team
played two matches),the (pool A) table looked as shown on the next page. In the third
