The whole team contributed on a grand scale!! But now the easy part is done, Team Europe is in the top spot and will face the winner of the Team World versus Team Asia game. Once that game is over, while we play the victor for a spot in the Championship game Team USA and Team Canada will face off for the other Championship game spot.

 

Here are the final overall standings:
1. Europe: 9 W/1 L, GD: +30
2. USA: 6 W/4 L, GD: -2
3. CAN: 5 W/5 L, GD: +5
4. Asia: 4 W/6 L, GD: -5
5. World: 2 W/8 L, GD: -18

(please excuse my math if some of the numbers are off, can I claim "old man issues"?)

It isnt over until it is over and we have 2 more games to win. If Team Europe is able to be victorious and continue the tradition of great teams to come out of Europe!

 

No pressure, right? HAHA!
