the americans were not supposed to be in this final: the bout with the russians was so unfair.

[CyrusofChaos]

how was it unfair? the directors were being painfully consistent in making the same harsh attack no call both in the individual and in the team and yet nemcsik and pozdniakov refused to adjust. keeth did a much better job at doing what the ref wanted than the other two did

what was up at the begining? bearded dude looked disgusted when he was tapping the other guys hand lol

I'm Canadian but I'm rooting for France, I mean, it's their sport.

Who's talking now ;)

I really wish I understood the sport more. It's beautifully elegant, and amazingly fast paced.

Why wasn't Pillet's attack at 07:49 counted?

You know who Julien Pillet reminds me of? Adrian Bak. I don't know why, but their engarde positions are incredibly similar.
