le coq sportif said:Honestly, props to you guys, because it seems like the US always pulls off its best runs when absolutely nobody expects a thing from the squad—just look at how we handled soccer and handball recently. Last year during the FINA Cup, you guys were basically just there to sink the competition, and now look at this! I’d say we might actually have a slight edge, but you guys definitely don't have the pressure on you right now. I'll go 55:45 that the US takes first place.
So, last year they were playing around with some experiments regarding the national roster, but now they've finally decided to show up to the European Championship with the absolute heavy hitters. If this team was fully gelled and 100% peak condition heading into Canada, I wouldn't give you guys the slightest advantage, but as it stands, you're just the slight favorites. The atmosphere is going to be straight-up hell, though I honestly think we'll end up having the upper hand once things get heated.
