Catch all for anyone paying attention

I think the USA gets the Win to start things off tonight but Canada takes it when it counts. Anyone else have thoughts?

Had no idea the Peru had a team.......

.....and rather odd that it IS the only country in the America's, beside the Canucks and USA.

What IS not odd.....IS the lack of "coverage" from the usual suspects. Friggin, even USA lacrosse is acting like they can't find their keys.....geez.

Look again: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy), Puerto Rico (very competitive in the past), Jamaica, & Mexico are in it as well.

Just chanelling my inner Hillary Clinton, as she, and Obama, didn't recognize "People of the long house" as real
(a BIG middle finger to the UK for their exclusion, Hillaryous did NOTHING, as Sect. of State )



BUT.....you get my drift, brookie. Apologize for not seeing Mexico. Puerto Rico IS the USA, yes ?

guess our posts have to BE perfect

My prediction- I think the USA wins tonight decisively. I think a later meeting will be closer, but still USA on top.

Grant is out, injured.

That’s a big miss for Canada, a 1st team AA defensemen Canada was really counting on for shut down defense.

^ I guess that to our pal RRR only Canucks & Yanks matter. Nobody else = "Americas"

Moved the Topic.

Grant out is a big hit for Canada. He changes things for opponents' O. Is he out for the whole tournament? Canada can probably beat everyone else without him but their chances vs the USA team are in real trouble if he can't go.
