Canada rolled over Team U.S.A. in the World Cup Zone A Playoff in heaven, a place called Costa Careyes, Mexico. If you got get beat thats the place to be. This loss, however, removes the U.S.A. from the list of teams who have qualified for the FIP World Cup Finals. Prior to this playoff, the USA has qualified for every World Cup Final during the last two decades. The team selection was handled differently this year when some top polo authorties decided to make the team. Canada used the same theory.
A horse from Kentucky named “Street Sense” came out of nowhere to smoke the field becoming the first 2 year old Champ to win the Kentucky Derby in 28 years. Its sad to see as one of the premier polo countries we cannot get the support to make a real team and send them to a World Cup Tournament. We have the ability, but like other team sports in World we have competition and no help for industry organizations. The answer is never going to be done by people who do not know polo really. Its still a good thing to have Canada win though. I am not taking away from them as they did great and deserved to win. I believedid nothing and it does depress me as we have 3 of the best 5 goal players in the World all here in the U.S.A. See ya.
