USA wins 2010 FIL World Lacrosse ChampionshipsPosted by Laxman in World Championship , USA , Manchester , FIL , Canada , 2010 |
SimplyLacrosse.com wants to congratulate Team USA in winning the FIL Men's World Lacrosse Championship for 2010 by a score of 12-10.
The game was an epic battle that was extremely fun to watch. Ultimately it seemed that the speed of the US prevailed against the apparently larger more physical Canadians.
Ir was a terrific game to watch for those who were lucky enough to be there in Manchester England, or who watched on ESPU in the US.
Unfortunately, the overall tournament was slightly tainted by the politics surrounding the very talented Iroquois Nations team not participating due to Passport issues. Although they could have participated with US or Canadian passports, SimplyLacrosse supports their decision not to participate in protest of their paperwork/passports being rejected. It is truly unfortunate, because the world of Lacrosse, and the event was not better off for their absence.
This was the first effort of the Newly merged Mens and Womens International Organization the Federations of International Lacrosse (FIL).
I think that it was very good for Lacrosse, and I look forward to the 2014 Mens championships in Denver Colorado.
Four years is too long too wait. See ya then.
