Any one who's interested in voting on whether Latvia or Lithuania should emerge victorious from this eastern European derby can do so by clicking this link http://bit.ly/KfTbp UPDATE: Lithuania win by Adjudication but Latvia go through as a top 3 loser so possibility of a revenge match in the final maybe

Canada win through Inactivity by Macedonia. Although Macedonia responded after 48 hours they are still in the bottom of the pack
