UGH.  I watched the USA/Europe game later this weekend as I DVR'd it.  I could go on a rant about this USA team, but maybe I'll just stick to what I said when I started this thread.  I hope they come out with some fire on Tuesday against Canada, because if they lose, they're done.  I imagine that game will be a penalty filled event.

Awful performance.

How were the North America and Europe teams picked? Heard them say the NA team was all 23 and under.  Europe certainly isn't. 

Team NA was any North American 23 or under.  Europe is any European from a country who didn't have a team in the tournament (i.e. not from Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Russia).
