It is comically funny, as a television observer, to listen to the shot calls by these two teams being drowned out by competing “CAN-A-DA” and “U-S-A” chants from the fans.
Let’s remind you, dear reader, that this is a curling match.
And now we’re heckling! Oh, I love this sport and how everyone gathers around it once every four years.
As for the action, this level of precise curling right now is insane. Rachel Homan actually missed that draw by rubbing off the American shot top four, but it may have worked out better for the Canadians.
The U.S. is looking at how to throw this to limit the damage. Right now, it looks like they’ll concede a single.
