Day One of Competition from Rio!

More news from Cathy...

"It was not a great day for Team Canada! In the first game of the day, Canada lost to the USA Stripes by a score of 41 - 32. Canada's players were not at their best, with numerous turnovers and generally sloppy play!

In the second game of the day, let's just say it was interesting. It was the first game, ever, for Brazil. The final score of Canada 41 - Brazil 14, was the result of a game which saw a 9-10 point Brazil lineup against a 4 point lineup for the Canadians and some generous play on the part of Team Canada. The Brazilian crowd loved it and the players were learning, so it was very positive.

The team has a video/review session tomorrow, on our day off, and a game preparation
meeting tomorrow evening.

And, transportation was trouble free today. Yea!!!!!!"

In other games, the USA Stars team defeated the ever-developping South Africans by a score of 49 - 25. No word yet on whether their HUGE player was rostered this time. Those who have read this blog for quite some time might recall that he was the one who has made the Guinness Book of World Records for pulling planes while in his chair. He made quite an impact on one of our players last time we met...

We're also trying to track down who is on the two American teams, as currently we only know who their 16 players are, but not upon which team they are playing.
