Poll Who Wins Pan Am Gold ?

Team Canada will be incredibly energized in front of their home crowd and that will tend to make Team USA's tired legs a bit more weary. Canada has done a great job of balancing minutes played for their key players while the USA has been forced to play their best players too many minutes. If we had two days off between games with a chance for rest and some light practice then USA wins a close one but , alas, we don't so Canada by 9.

Canada WILL have the larger number of fans, but Toronto isn't that far from the USA so I expect a fair number of USA/UConn fans at the game. Got to give it to Canada, mostly (ran into some not so) nice people, and great fans. In Vancouver I commented USA fans should be great fans like Canada.

And Fields and Achonwa. Kia versus Moriah. Stewie versus Achonwa. Reimer versus Achonwa. Lots of subplots.

Liked Fields--Kia Vs Moriah interesting. Reimer va Achonwa equal. Stewie and Coates? Achonwa will try to handle Stewie as she did Steff by holding her elbow at her throat--won't work. l How about Plum (in the conservatory) Vs Fields,
Thornburn Vs Walker-Kimbough ? Unless Canadian partyed hearty they should be more rested than USA starters. You pose interesting matches.

The way it out to be is Canada wins. USA throws together a team and 4 weeks later expects perfection. It will be a heck of a game I hope. But, having dual citizenship, I can't lose. May all roll out of this game in one piece and I'll be happy.

As a Metis (new definition) I am entitled to dual citizenship but I'm American-Canadian and that means cheer for USA, if Ca wins I can say I told you so!! Landed in Trios Rivers in 1660 and 1665 great great great---great! And member of "The Regiment and a Fil Du Roi"
Agree, Stewie and Moriah come out still ready to go, after a long rest.

My congrats to Canada and especially, Kia Nurse, who was fantastic! They were a team on a mission!
It's truly amazing that no players were killed during the game as the refs, impossibly, were worse than both the WCBB and WNBA refs combined! In the 2nd half the players realized that they didn't need to hide a mugging of the opposing player! They could grab, punch, cross-body block, anything and the 3 BLIND MICE wouldn't call it! Poor Stewie was so pissed that she almost lost control of herself with the refs several times! #13 for Canada, Tatihm (sp?) had Stewie's DNA under her fingernails!
The UCONN coaching staff can be very proud of Kia Nurse, because she used everything they drummed into her head last season! Every aspect of her game was awesome! Poor MoJeff had to have a concussion after that scary crash with Kia! What heart and tenacity MoJeff showed every-time she took an "8-count" she came back on the court! If Bluder and her assts. sent her back in after that hit I would have gone INTO my tv to pull her off the court!
Thank God Reimer went BACK to ND in Jan., she'll screw them up for the next several years! She missed 2 wide open 7'-8' short pops, her defense was of the olay/watch out her here she comes variety and she looked clueless to running plays! She looked like the 10th player chosen in a pick-up game, "I guess we'll have to take Reimer!" She keeps going she'll be the favorite to win the Elizabeth Williams Inspirational Award!
Tiffany Mitchell's ankle sprain really hurt the USA! She was going to be the foil for MoJeff to switch off on PG duties, and both run the defense!
