That might have been true two years ago when the US was just dominated. It was the reason given then and made sense. This year, the story was different. The US was learning to stop the "me-only-me" attitude and work better as a team. The main difference was that Euro has had the taste of domination, belief that they are a better "team" and that the standings individually just really does not matter. Home team advantage is worth 2 points easily, so this leaves the US still trailing. Hats off and congratulations! Some of the greatest shots and highlights in RC history.

(Return back to the US in 2 years and I bet the scores will be within a 1/2 point either way. We won't lie down that easily.)
