I just found out that both the US teams have earned the right
to get squased at Eindhoven. Europe will be ready for them.

Squashed? As I see it, once we get past Denmark, England, and Sweden we've got a good shot, and those three probably won't be in the same pool as US. How's that for national partisanship? More rationally, I hope we do well enough to get some press coverage and educate folks on our side of the pond about badminton.
