Bye-Bye India…Hello England! Having just landed in London, what was the first thing I did once I was connected to the Internet? You got it…Go look at the first day results of the semifinals!
Overall, the remaining USA teams had a good first day…In the Bermuda Bowl, USA 2 finished the day down slightly to Sweden 142-129. As you may remember, this same team was down 70 something during the first day of the quarterfinals so this is a virtual tie! In the Venice Cup (Women), USA 2 leads a very formidable team from The Netherlands 110.2 to 81! Finally, as the conditions of contest requires, if both USA teams read the semifinals, they must play one another to avoid the finals being an all USA party. As the end of day one of the semifinals, USA 1 leads USA 2 130.5. USA 1 has been the clear favorite in this event from day 1 (although my team was also the favorite from day 1 so you just never know!). For the curious, Team England (who knocked out USA 1) is slightly behind Team Poland 99-88.3 at the end of Day 1. I often cheer for the team that knows me out to win the whole thing (at least I can say I lost to the eventual winners), but in this case, we still have a USA team going in the event so I’ll stay true to my countrymen for now!
There are still a few seats left for the October 14th Webinar “Defend these Hands with Me!” at 10am CST.
