USA Leads: Eagles 12 - Canada 6

Scrum.com has a good recap of the game posted here, and rugbyrugby.com has theirs here. My summary: All goals, no tries. The Eagles looked like they were struggling a bit in the first 20 minutes, but things started to click after. Really, the stats play to their favor but there were a few mistakes that can’t be made against the teams they’ll face in New Zealand.
On a related topic, ESPN is on the list. I try not to make a habit of complaining, sincerely at least, but they’re on the list.
I wasn’t going to be home for the match, so I DVR’d it. I sat down to watch, and as the first half is drawing to a close, ESPN decides that they are going to switch the coverage to ESPN 2. Evidently, this was because ESPN needed to dedicate themselves to the breaking news about McNair (terrible, btw). In any event, this meant I missed the last half of the game, where the Eagles went on to win.
On to Edmonton on July 11th where a victory in the land of maple syrup will clinch the Eagles’ spot in Pool A of the World Cup.
