Fail Britannia....

NOOOOOOOOOO!

There is no joy in Vancouver, my mighty ( and mighty darn cute!) British Men's Curling team is out... out ... rocked? stoned? thrown? by an upstart YOUNG Swedish team.

From TSN :

"Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Sweden beat Great Britain in extra ends Wednesday to earn the final semifinal spot in men's curling at the Vancouver Olympics.
Sweden and Britain both had 5-4 records in round robin play and were forced to meet in a tiebreaker for the last playoff seed. The Swedes notched a point in the 11th end to take a 7-6 victory and move on to Thursday's semifinal encounter against top-seeded Canada.
Great Britain pushed the game to an extra end by tying the game at 6-6 with one point in the 10th. However, the Swedes claimed victory on a take-out by skip Niklas Edin on the final throw of the 11th, replacing a British stone that was in scoring position with one of his own.
On Thursday, the Swedes will face the Canadians, who won gold at the 2006 Turin Games and went a perfect 9-0 in round robin play this year"

At least now I will not be torn, It is now all Canada, all the time.... ( also VERY cute!)

OH! Canada!
