If I go to practice today, then I will play in the game tomorrow. I went to practice today.

2 answers possible : I will play in the game tomorrow No logical conclusion possible

Between today and Tomorrow

When time is involved like this I am always in trouble. See, for me, there can be so many things between today and tomorrow, this guy my just choke on a bretzel, get sick, make his first and last encounter with a nuclear bomb, his car might not start, the coach might leave him on the bench. So for me there is no logical conclusion possible. "I should play the game tomorrow" would be fine by me but to declare with certainty that "I will play the game tomorrow" is for me impossible.

It isn't important, that the statements make sense. The question is whether you can make a logical conclusion from the given statements.
