    Respect goes out to all the U.S. members. It turns out The Confederates had a meeting and we will not secede after all. Our states will be better off joining your Union. Shout out to Biteme for being the biggest USA fan by cheering on his teammates from the rail. I'll play more in qualification next year and hopefully be a part of the team that owned this year's Poker World Cup: USA! USA! USA!

    Congratz! Well deserved! On top from day 1 to the end. Solid team performance.

    I guess it was time for team USA after having some disappointing finishes in the previous world cups.

    kudos to team "whipped our asses reeaallllll ggggooooddddd!!!" USA lived up to, hell.... exceeded, the hype and "better on paper" analysis to thorougly dominate from day 1 til the end. Very impressive! Congrats to my teammates as well, for a fine push the last day and not giving up when it looked very bleak (end of day two, with our stunning 3 pts on the day). And lastly, congrats to canada and the euros, for damn good competition.

    I'd heard the "world cup sucked", but I gotta say it was a lot of fun..... good luck to all who play poker on sbr as we get back to wailin' on each other individually at the tables, which hopefully will be sooner than later!

    Thank you, wikki, stif & donker... it was truly a total team effort with EVERYONE contributing.

    Special shout out to Jedi for not only his fine play and 6pts, but he was a major team supporter from the rail throughout. As were gummo, mpasch, Tripster, balla & arun & others.

    With apologies to my Canadian buddy Miller -- it was OUR TIME.

    Classy post, wikki... hope we're teammates next year on USA! USA! USA!

    ya I really enjoyed how in many of the tournaments there were multiple members from each team on the rail showing their support. The enthusiasm most everyone showed made the event very cool!

    Yes, it was fun...even watching...lots of spectating. Too bad it was only 4 days after a marathon to get in...I think it was Donk that mentioned this in game chat as well. I kinda gave up on the dailies when the weather got good, lucky I still qualified.

    Just wish SBR showed a lil enthusiasm as well.

    Just wish SBR at least could keep a timely scoreboard, 'specially with the exciting 2-4 race goin on down the stretch

    Yeah it got frustrating

    So many threads about it but hard to find the right info with the latest updates

    Then if you just wanted to tally it yourself the earlier tourney results disappeared from the lobby throughout the day

    I'm proud of my Confederate brothers for not giving up after a horrid 2nd day. We rallied the troops and fought on bravely to tie for 2nd.

    With that said, congrats to the US on a punishing display of force from start to finish. Well deserved. Cheers !
