After 2009 World Champs, a USA vs. Europe Matchup? -- May 1, 2007
ROME, Italy, May 1. THE Italian Web site, www.anaten.it, is reporting that a United States vs. Europe matchup could follow the 2009 World Championships in Rome. The matchup would be the latest Duel in the Pool, replacing the USA vs. Australia clashes that have seen the Americans win handily in each of the three meetings.
According to an unnamed source close to the discussion, this competition against Europe has been in the works for a long time and 2009 is likely to be the start.
With a full continent from which to draw talent, a USA vs. Europe faceoff would be highly intriguing. If such a meet came about, the competition could feature the likes of Italy's Filippo Magnini, France's Laure Manaudou and Germany's Britta Steffen.
