And frankly, it's beyond embarrassing. What I've noticed the most are the gross differences when it comes to playing position. Europe is just on it. They're playing optimal shots and leaving just about everything golden for their partner. USA just seems so disconnected by comparison. Sure, they're communicating, but compared to Europe they appear disjointed as a unit. They're many different parts operating separately while Europe has crafted a team that works as a well-oiled machine. I knew that we didn't have great chances at beating those monsters in blue, but what can be done now to turn the tide?

Also, at 41:52 of the day two highlights video, you can clearly see that Albin's safety swerves off course as it comes back down table. What's that about?
