Against the Germans.

Some games just don't work out. That's exactly what tonight's was. In the third end, we couldn't handle the slightly harder to read ice and got a three. It put us down enough that we gradually gave the game to the better Germans. We tried to create, but the pieces were always missing, the rolls were farther than we wanted, the stones were going a little too far. Nothing was going. It was better to give up and go into the rest of the tournament with a clear head.
