As I read this i think what nonsense from great players regarding picking/choosing teams. If anything I think the way the USA does it is great/perfect ...as close as perfection bridge could come too. Having some rich Italian woman pick the team...horrible. The most important point, at least for the USA, is not ...not to win at any cost........ if the cost is one person picks the winning team.

NickToll Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 great post thank you. As I read this i think what nonsense from great players regarding picking/choosing teams.

The most important point, at least for the USA, is not ...not to win at any cost........ if the cost is one person picks the winning team.Any opinion deserves respect. I can understand having just one person in charge of picking the national team does not suit everyone's taste, even if this happens regularly in most sports and in most countries (soccer, as an example). By the way, this method was used in Italy in the 50s-60s-70s to select the Blue Team, and it didn't work that bad. But you could be right on this point. On the other hand, you can't possibly be right in referring to Maria Teresa Lavazza as "some rich Italian woman". She has been running the most successful Italian team for around 25 years, as a player and (mostly) as npc. Her knowledge of top Italian players and experience in leading a bridge team can't be questioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Interesting interview. Regarding the still unresolved issue of whether a team consisting of Scandavian players should be been competing at all, let alone been in the finals of the Italian team club championships: What happened that the issue was not decided when the team entered? As usual, just curiosity about something which is none of my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I hate that attitude of "I bid what I think what's right regardless of what pard might make of it". It's downright childish and irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
