Well as Richard just noted there has been enough bridge so far and we should start the semi-finals NOW.
The team has done us proud by recording a 21-9 win to take a firm grip on fourth spot.
USA1 247
Italy 235
Poland 225
Australia 217
South Africa 210.5
Netherlands 209.5
China 209
Norway 205
Egypt 201
The trick now is to remain focused and not to get caught up in the hype of the moment.
Sweden started the tournement well below expectation running 13th after 6 matches. They have improved their position to be just 9 behind qualifying so we dare not take their resolve for granted.
In terms of lineup I have decided to go with winners by playing Bruce/Jedi and Warren/Pauline for the third match in a row. While having one pair sit out for 3 matches straight is not a preferred option qualifying is the goal and we have to put our best performing pairs at the moment into the lineup.
For the last match I will likely go with Bruce/Jedi and Murray/Andrew. Even though there are only 48 boards a day, this is a significant number with screens and the pressure of the moment.
Well off to war....
Best
David
