Retornaz has missed more easy and decisive shots here than in the rest of his career.

The level of our game after the first two games has been beyond disappointing.

Believe it or not.. they're not done yet. If Norway and Italy both lose their next match (and they're playing Canada and Switzerland), then it comes down to draw shot challenge and that might favor the US.

So of course that last scenario I mis-calculated is now in play. 4 options left. Germany can get to 4 wins, but they can't win a tiebreaker. So here's the story for tomorrow..

If either :NOR or :ITA wins tomorrow, they're into the semis. If they both win, then :GBR is out.

If :NOR and :ITA both lose, then 1 of 2 things happens and :GER enters the conversation even though they can't advance. A :GER win with those other 2 results puts :USA into the semis. If :GER loses, then it's down to the draw shot challenge, which currently is being led by :USA .

When was the last time a team advanced to the semis with a negative record at the Olympics? Because that could happen tomorrow if both Norway and Italy lose.

Switzerland and Canada throw their games against Italy and Norway to get rid of GB? I would never advocate for that. Openly. In writing. On the internet.
