US vs Finland

What a disappointing end to the 2nd match for the US Men's Curling today - one that will be talked about. After a great shot to finish the 2nd end with a double, the US let up a double in the 5th. We were all tied at 3 going to the 9th - a perfectly executed blank end resulted in the US having the crucial last shot in the 10th and final end. However, the strategy for the last shot in that end was botched, and Finland grabbed a point when the US captain decided on a controversial plan of attack.
Final - Finland 4, US 3. The US is now 1-1 in group B.

We still have the first US Men's match and the Women's match on TiVo from early this morning; when the kids are in bed, Janice and I will watch to see how they won the first match and what the women did.

(and, unlike most of my posts that sound like this, I am not being sarcastic. Janice has become a huge curling fan, and I'm getting sucked in.)

Couldn't sleep last night and watched the game. Great game.
